The “Requested Object Information could not be retrieved” SCCM Error

  • Issue: When I try to view, edit or create a new task sequence in SCCM, an error message is displayed “The requested object information could not be retrieved. Refresh the Configuration Manager console to verify that another administrator has not moved or deleted the object, or that the role-based administration security scopes or security roles for the object or current user have not changed“.

Solution: Close Configuration Manager console and then open command prompt as administrator on the SCCM server. If Microsoft Configuration Manager is installed in the C-drive then type; cd “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\bin\X64” (to change directory to the location of the TaskSequenceProvider.mof file)

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\bin\X64> MofComp.exe TaskSequenceProvider.mof ( run this to recompile the TaskSequenceProvider.mof package)>>>press Enter on the computer keyboard to execute the command. 

After running the command, you should see the information below indicating that it has executed it successfully;

Open the Configuration Manager console again, navigate to the Task Sequence and try to view, edit or create a new task sequence and it should work without issues.
