This should work

SELECT    MAX(History.ChangeDateTime)
FROM  MonitoringJob
INNER JOIN History
ON MonitoringJob.ID=History.JobID
GROUP BY MonitoringJob.ID

Is it that you want the rows with the latest value?

SELECT    * -- 
FROM  MonitoringJob
INNER JOIN History
ON MonitoringJob.ID=History.JobID
WHERE CAST(ChangeDateTime as DATE) = (SELECT CAST(MAX(ChangeDateTime) as DATE) FROM History)

This will give you all the records whose date is same as the highest ChangeDateTime's date.

I think this code does what you need. You should group by URL first.

SELECT MonitoringJob.ID
,      MonitoringJob.CreationDate
,      MonitoringJob.LastCheck
,      MonitoringJob.Category
,      MonitoringJob.URL
,      MonitoringJob.Description
,      MonitoringJob.IsJobActive
,      MAX(History.ChangeDateTime) AS ChangeDateTime
FROM  MonitoringJob
INNER JOIN History
ON MonitoringJob.ID=History.JobID
GROUP BY MonitoringJob.URL
      ,  MonitoringJob.ID
      ,  MonitoringJob.CreationDate
      ,  MonitoringJob.LastCheck
      ,  MonitoringJob.Category    
      ,  MonitoringJob.Description
      ,  MonitoringJob.IsJobActive

You will need to do a groupBy statement (whatever test2,test1 column was), then call an orderBy CheckDatTime desc and finish it off with a select TOP(1) command. With the groupBy command you can only return columns specified in the clause, so if you require further information you will likely need to perform a self-join operation on that table.
