System Center Service Manager 2010: Error when registering the Datawarehouse
While registering a Datawarehouse with Service Manager 2010 I got the following error in the eventviewer of the Datawarehouse server…
A module of type "Microsoft.SystemCenter.Orchestration.Module.WorkflowWorkItemModule" reported an exception System.FormatException: String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.

at Microsoft.SystemCenter.Orchestration.Module.WorkflowWorkItemModule.OnDataItem(DataItemBase dataItem, DataItemAcknowledgementCallback acknowledgedCallback, Object acknowledgedState, DataItemProcessingCompleteCallback completionCallback, Object completionState) which was running as part of rule "WorkflowOrchestration.DeploymentRule" running for instance "Deployment Workflow Target" with id:"{0B09E978-69C6-709F-5D5E-B03C5477393C}" in management group "xxxxxx".
The problem here was that the system locale from the service account used wasn’t set to English-US
After that change (and rebooting the server) the job succeeded
Cheers,
