    Hello All, I wanted to share this article/post that I wrote recently about an error I encountered while trying to configure SCORCH Integration Packs. The solution is simple, but the error message is "blank".

    Hello All, I wanted to share this article/post series that I am writing about a Portal for System Center 2012 R2 Orchestrator. If you are using Orchestrator but not Service Manager, then you don't have an easy way to run Runbooks. This free 3rd party tool allows you to have a Portal (similar to Service Manager) but directly/only for Orchestrator.

    Hello MphoPlay, Unfortunately there is no option/way to do this without 3rd party software. See the following thread: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/systemcenter/en-US/69e2881d-b2ce-4734-a936-17bdae3fb8d3/audit-scom-overrides

    You can try turning off the firewalls between the SCOM Management Server, and the endpoint you want to monitor, to ensure connectivity/communications is working first; and then turn one firewall on (with the necessary ports opened), then re-test, and again with the second firewall.

    Each company is different. Generally, when I implement SCOM for an organization, I will create an Overrides MP for each technoloy MP that's been imported. For example, let's say the short-form or acronym for the company name is "ABC", and let's assume they have the Windows Server OS Management Pack imported. If they need/want to make any overrides to monitors/rules that are apart of this MP, I would make the following overrides MP; "ABS - Windows Server OS - Overrides". That way it is clear that these are the organization specific changes, and that it is specific to the Windows Server OS MP. To help others learn/become more comfortable with the SCOM console, and how to do certain things, check out the SCOM Superflow: http://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=7859. It's a little application that will walk someone through the steps to do certain things. Even though the Superflow was only created for the 2007 version (there is no 2012 update that I have seen), the processes are generally the same, in most cases. Hopefully this has answered your question, if not, let me know.

    Hi Face, Can you provide a little more information, like screenshots or error messages? Also, have you tried opening Port 1434?

    Hi ShockWave, Take a look at this post: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/bff8a86b-a0f3-4d2e-8681-cffa23315fef/the-pool-managing-the-instance-is-not-available-or-the-location-monitoring-object-cannot-be-found-?forum=operationsmanagergeneral I'm not sure if it directly relates, but it mentions a few things to check, like the SQL Server Browser service, the installation of SQL Server (i.e. which Service Pack), Firewall rules, testing connectivity by manually deploying an Agent, checking the Service Accounts used,

    I don't know of an easy way to monitor the entire Event Log just for errors. That sounds like something you'd have to create a custom monitor for that. That, or you will have to identify the Rules/Monitors that are triggered for the most common Event Log errors. Then make a subscription, and tie it specifically to a specific instance of the class 'Windows Server'. I think it would be best to identify the Event Log errors you want to be notified about, instead of just "all of them", as you will probably get a lot of noise/emails that you don't want.

    I'm not really experienced in writing scripts, but maybe use the "Get-SCOMAgent" command. Then create a loop to loop through the list of servers and include something like output the Agent's management group. Maybe something like this: Get-SCOMAgent [-ManagementServer] <ManagementServer> [-ComputerName <String[]> Run that on each Management Server (2007 and 2012), and then cross-compare the list.

    First of all, let's deal with the accounts. Take a look at my post here: http://adinermie.wordpress.com/2014/01/25/scom-2012-sp1-in-a-lab-installation-guide-install-scom/. The Managed Server Action Account needs to be Local Admin on any system you want to install the Agent on. The System Center Configuration Service and Data Access Service account needs to be Local Admin on the SCOM Management Server(s). The Data Reader and Data Writer account can be "normal" domain accounts, as the setup will take care of the permissions to assign to them. Also, that account that you are using to perform the SCOM installation needs to be Local Admin on the server that will become the SCOM Management Server, AND also needs to have SysAdmin on the SQL Server instance installation so that it can create the databases during setup. Don't forget that you need to supply the Domain along with the username. Start with that, and let me know how it goes. Also, feel free to watch my blog's YouTube channel, for video walkthroughs on my articles.

    I don't believe there is any support for Glassfish, as per the following: http://blogs.technet.com/b/random_happy_dev_thoughts/archive/2012/04/18/system-center-operations-manager-scom-2012-released.aspx http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/systemcenter/en-US/ab5344bf-5d01-4688-83ed-c315cc3deba5/mp-for-glassfish-application-server-sunoracle?forum=operationsmanagergeneral

    When you installed SQL Server, did you install all the right features? Take a look at the following pages on my blog: http://adinermie.wordpress.com/lab-environment/sql-server-features/, and http://adinermie.wordpress.com/lab-environment/system-center-2012-sp1-in-a-lab-installation-guides/system-center-2012-sp1-in-a-lab-installation-part-d-install-sql-server/.

    Are you running SQL Server on a dedicated VM or on the same server VM as SCOM? If you have a dedicated SQL Server, check that the account you are using for the installation has local Administrator access AND SysAdmin on the SQL Server instance. Also check the windows firewall. Also, take a look at my install and config guides: http://adinermie.wordpress.com/scom/

    Interesting question. Here is an article about DPM and data de-duplication: https://blogs.technet.com/b/dpm/archive/2013/04/29/sc-2012-sp1-dpm-efficient-protection-of-windows-2012-dedup-volume.aspx. Note that it states: "DPM server should be running on Windows 2012 and Dedup role need to be installed. Note that the Dedup capability should not be enabled on the DPM storage (replica or shadow copy volumes). "

    SCOM 2012 R2 Intro

    AdinE replied to AdinE's question in SCOM 2012

    Sorry about that. I recently re-designed my site. Here is the updated link to the article this post is referring to: http://adinermie.wordpress.com/2014/01/25/scom-2012-r2-installation-introduction/

    Hello All, I thought I would share with anyone interested, that I just finished writing a series of posts about Working With The Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) 2013. You can find them on my blog at: http://adinermie.wordpress.com/2014/02/05/microsoft-deployment-toolkit-mdt-2013-installation/.

    Can you provide a little more detail? Are you trying to get the Request Approver (from Service Manager) to be passed to a Runbook in Orchestrator, specifically for a "New Account" request?

    Hello All, I have been running into this issue lately after imaging a system through OSD. The OS will be installed successfully (Windows 7 x64 Enterprise), along with some applications that we deem required (i.e. Adobe Reader, etc.). However, there are several issues with the SCCM agent. First, in the Control Panel applet for Configuration Manager, on the Components Tab, several of the Components will appear as Disabled (namely: CCM Notification Agent, and Power Management Agent). I’m not worried about the Power Management one, but it appears that if the Notification Agent is disabled, this affects everything else. This is eventually corrected through restarting the SMS Agent Host service, and waiting for the Agent to communicate with the Management Point. However, when launching Software Center, I encounter the following error. SCClient.exe – System Error The program can’t start because MSVCR100_CLR0400.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. What I don’t understanding is, it looks like it is missing a Visual C++ element; but during the OSD process, there is a step to install the SCCM Agent (which to my knowledge installs all the pre-reqs required for the Agent). Has anyone encountered this issue before, or able to help me track down the root cause? It seems to happen randomly when imaging systems.

    Sorry for the delay, I moved, so things were... well, packed. Firstly, from looking at your screenshot of the Management Packs installed, even though you do have the Windows Server Internet Information Services Library, you are still missing the other 2 IIS Management Packs, namely: Windows Server Internet Information Services 2003 version 6.0.5000.0 or later Windows Server 2008 Internet Information Services 7 version 6.0.6539.0 or later Start with that first, and let me know if you are still encountering issues.

    Hello Kevin8714, Just to clarify, by "MP" I assume you mean "MS" or Management Server, right? That being said, can you also clarify which server(s) you are planning on re-building? If it's the SQL Server you are re-building, then you can following the database move procedure to accomplish this (found here: Operational DB: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh278848.aspx, and Data Warehouse DB: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh268492.aspx). If you are planning on re-building the SCOM server itself, more details are required. For example, does your setup only have 1 Management Server, or more than one? If you are working in a DEV or Lab environment and only have 1 Management Server, then my first suggestion is to go into the console, under Administration > Device Management > Agent Managed and select all of your Agent-managed systems and choose Uninstall. You can also accomplish this using PowerShell. Here is a great article detailing how to do this, especially because it covers the scenario you mentioned; that of orphaned Agents that were not removed properly before the Management Server was decommissioned. - http://blogs.technet.com/b/momteam/archive/2012/02/21/removing-orphaned-operations-management-agents-using-powershell.aspx Here are some additional links about using PowerShell against Agents: - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2626752/en-us - http://technet.microsoft.com/library/hh545186.aspx Hope that answers your question.
