you should always check the security of IIS and the entire server, I would suggest using MBSA to do this. Here is a FAQ for MBSA and you can download it from here cheers anyweb

make sure that the pc's you are trying to WOL have had a clean shutdown first, a clean shutdown is where you tell the OS to power down using the start menu, a dirty shutdown is done by holding the power switch until all power is cut. PC's in a dirty power down state, can fail to WOL, so be sure to check that.... cheers anyweb

i dont get your question, can you try to re-word it please ?

try this one

SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 1 (SP1) is now available. You can use these packages to upgrade any SQL Server 2008 edition. Note:We remain committed to our plans to keep service packs contained, focusing on essential updates only, primarily a Roll-up of Cumulative Update 1 to 3, Quick Fix Engineering (QFE) updates, as well as fixes to issues reported through the SQL Server community. While keeping product changes contained, we have made significant investments to ease deployment and management of Service Packs: Slipstream – You are now able to integrate the base installation with service packs (or Hotfixes) and install in a single step. Service Pack Uninstall – You are now able to uninstall only the Service Pack (without removing the whole instance) Report Builder 2.0 Click Once capability For more information about SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 1, please review the Release Notes. download link > http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en

you can pretty much forget about OSD and rebuild everything from scratch with SCCM, in SMS we had to install the OSD feature pack just to install OS's in a managed way, with SCCM, operating system deployment is built in from the word go, the only thing you need to add to SCCM is Microsoft Deployment Toolkit if you plan on customising roles and features in Windows Server 2008 or for extra abilities while creating task sequences. If I was upgrading from SMS to SCCM, i'd rebuild everything from scratch and do it in a lab first, but if you have to upgrade then test it first in a limited way using a lab setup. please post how you decide to go here as I'd like to hear about your decisions in this regard and I have read the replies you got on myitforum also cheers anyweb

great work wmmayms ! keep the reports coming

well spotted, and p.s. that info is already in part 2 of setting up SCCM 2007 right here ;-) cheers anyweb

hmm, ok then something is wrong, did you extend the AD schema for SCCM ?

welcome what type of domain user are you configuring SCCM with ?

Step 2. Import Management Packs In the SCOM Console, click on import management packs, normally you should only import one management pack per every 24 hours to give them time to settle, but in a lab we can be more adventurous. We will now import the Windows Server Operating System Management Pack. Browse to the folder that you installed the Management Pack into and select the individual packs you need, for example, I don't have any Windows 2003 or Windows 2000 servers in this lab so I don't select those packs. Once selected, choose Open and then click on Import After some time you will be able to close the window. We will now import the Active Directory Management Pack. Open the SCOM Console and click on Administration, to the right, click on Import Management Packs. Browse to the Microsoft Active Directory 2000 2003 and 2008 Management Pack for Operations Manager 2007 folder and in the right pane select some packs, as before i'm not using Server 2000 or Server 2003 in this lab however you must select both the Server 2000 and 2003 Discovery Packs otherwise the Server 2008 Monitor Management pack will fail. click on Import when ready click close once they are all imported

The SCOM DVD already has a folder on it called ManagementPacks which contains 42 predefined Management Packs, however the best practise is to get online and download the current version of any given Management Pack. Step 1. Download and Install Management Packs The following website contains Management Packs ready for download. In this exercise we will download the Active Directory Management Pack. Once you have downloaded the Management Pack, double click on the MSI file and choose Run. Accept the Eula and click Next. Leave the installation Path as default (c:) confirm the Installation and click on Install click continue when prompted by UAC and click close when the Installation of the Management Pack is complete. You can now see the Management Pack files listed in Explorer, open the OM2007_MP_AD2008.DOC for details about configuring and installing the Management Pack. In there you'll see that we must import Microsoft.Windows.Server.Library from the Windows Base OS Management Pack before we install the Active Directory Management Pack. So Let's do that. Download the following Windows Server Operating System Management Pack for Operations Manager 2007 Once downloaded, install it exactly as you did above for the Active Directory Management Pack. Read the Guide that comes with this download, and note the following:

Behind the console you'll have the encryption key backup or restore wizard click Next and choose backup the encryption key click on browse and browse your network to a suitable backup location enter a Password for authorising backup or restore Finally when you are done click on Finish.

This is sufficient for this Lab but you should consider alternatives in a production environment for security reasons. click Discover. On the Select Objects to Manage screen, select the computers you would like to install agents on and click Next Leave the summary screen as it is and click finish after some time you should see an agent management task status, click close when done.

Below are the X86 hotfixes: KB951116 KB952664 KB953290 KB951327 Below are the X64 hotfixes: KB951116 KB952664 KB953290 KB951327 Once they are all installed, reboot. Download the System Center Operations Manager DVD from Technet or MSDN. The file I used here for this guide is the Service pack 1 version of SCOM 2007 called en_system_center_operations_manager_2007_with_service_pack_1_x86_dvd_x14-05942.iso, once downloaded, burn to DVD or mount with daemon tools or similar.

On the Custom Setup screen, verify that all options are set to This component, and all dependant components, will be installed on the local disk drive and change the default installation location to D:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager 2007\, and then click Next. The installer will now do a Prerequisites check and if you forgot any component such as .NET or Powershell then it will fail, however you may also get a warning if the amount of RAM present is less than 2GB (as in my case, I have 512 on this virtual machine for the lab). You can view the log or click next to continue. Note: If you have failed the Prerequisites check you cannot continue until you resolve the failures. Enter SCOMMGMTGRP as the Management Group name and change the default Administrator by clicking Browse and point to the OpsMgrAdmins Security Group we created in AD click Next to continue Leave the Database Instance and Port settings as they are, click next On the management server Action Account page, accept the default Domain or Local Computer Account option, enter the credentials of the management server Action account (SA-OpsMgrMSAA), and then click Next. Leave the Database and Log file locations as they are, in a production environment you would want to separate the Log and DB files to separate SAN drives, but this is only a lab so it's fine like this, in addition, in production with 10 or so Management Packs you'd want to increase the size of the DB to 5000mb, the default 1000mb is fine for lab. For Management Server Action Account enter the credentials of the management server Action account (OpsMgrMSAA) that we created in Part 1, and then click Next. For the SDK and Config Service Account screen, select the Domain or Local Account option and enter the credentials for the SDK and Config service account (OpsMgrSDK) that we created in Part 1, and then click Next. For web console Authentication configuration leave it as default, For the Customer Experience Improvement Program screen, make your choice and then click Next. and for the Microsoft Update screen, make your choice and then click Next. finally on the Install the Program screen click Install. after a long while, you'll see the completing System Center Operations Manager screen, leave both options checked. the console will open up and you can now start using System Center Operations Manager 2007 SP1.

This guide is aimed at people who want to install Operations Manager 2007 and to help them set it up in a Lab Environment. This guide assumes that you will be running all the services required on one box (otherwise known as a Single Server, Single Management Group scenario). In addition, This guide assumes that you have an Active Directory already setup and functioning (Step 1 of this guide will show you how to do that), you must have installed a Windows 2008 server for this SCOM 2007 installation and joined it to the domain, you can partition that server as C:\ 30gb for Operating System and the remaining space for D:\ for Applications. Log on to the Domain Controller with Domain Admin permissions, start up Active Directory Users and Computers (or dsa.msc from the run command). Step 1. Add the following new user: Right click on Users and choose New User Add a user called OpsMgrMSAA with the Full Name OpsMgr Management Server Action Account Enter a password and uncheck "User must change password at next logon", click Next Step 2. add Additional users Now repeat the above for the following users: OpsMgrSDK with the Full Name OpsMgr SDK and Configuration Account OpsMgrDWWAA with the Full Name OpsMgr Data Warehouse Write Action Account OpsMgrDRA with the Full Name OpsMgr Data Reader Account Step 3. create a new Global Security Group in AD Right click on Users, and choose New Group For Group Name use OpsMgr Administrators and for group name (pre/windows 200) use OpsMgrAdmins Add the OpsMgr Administrators security Group to the Local Administrators Group on your SCOM Server For further reading review this Technet page about Account Information In addition to the above Active Directory Accounts, I also create two additional ones da-opsmgr which is a Domain User and Domain Admin sa-opsmgr which is a Domain User and member of the OpsMgr Administrators Security Group (thereby getting local admin access to the SCOM server). Unless otherwise mentioned login to your SCOM server from now on as the sa-opsmgr user. Continue on to Part 2. Install IIS and required role services
