The Forefront Client Security management console snap-in unavailable

The Forefront Client Security management console closes or the dashboard statistics are incorrect if the managed computers have not reported statistics for more than 30 days

 

I have a 2003 R2 SP2 Member Server that runs Forefront security client. Per I could access the Forefront Client Security Console just fine but now I get the following error when trying to access it;

FX:{f337d96e-45c1-4106-88b1-e417a7703d6b}

Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

Exception type:

System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException

Exception stack trace:

No updates were applied to the server during this time, I've tried rebooting and have tried deleting the "MMC" folder from C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\%USERNAME%\APPLICATION DATA\MICROSOFT but still get the error.
Other MMC snap-ins on that server, such as WSUS and MOM are still working fine.

 

I refer to the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942581/en-us and download the hotfix KB942581.sql to resolve the issue.
