"The requested operation failed" is returned when committing changes, reapplying agent configuration or stopping services from the QMM console.
When committing changes or reapplying agent configuration, the console will first stop the services, update the agent databases and start the services. If the service(s) do not respond with a stopped state within the defined timeout period (Microsoft default is 30000 milliseconds), the error message will be displayed. The same logic applies when stopping mail agents from the QMM console.
This error is informational, and clicking ok will allow the operation to complete.
If the error is received when a service is being stopped, refreshing the agent status will update the console and the service status should "stopped".
If the error is received during a commit change or reapply agent configuration operation, the click OK will allow the commit/reapply operation to complete.
