Managing Mac OS X clinet with System Center 2012 Configuration Manager

toby wells wrote:Most large sites would use Casper for Mac management....Does work best. OS X has its own ecosystem, and preference is to stay with it. Know Apple specifically intends 3rd party development of these management tools, and Casper is the established veteran option.
Keep in mind the other OS X admin tools—
OS X Server ($20, only need a Mac to install software)
ARD (Apple Remote Desktop)ReposadoMunkiTime Machine Server (great as current OS X versions allow multiple Time Machine mount points)etcJAMF, makers of Casper Suite, has its own ecosystem, community, user groups, and annual conference—http://www.jamfsoftware.com/products/https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/http://www.jamfsoftware.com/events/jamf-nation-user-conference/etc

hi guys
I am keen on getting some sort of control on Mac OS X clients on my IT environment via SCCM2012 R2
Has any one done this? I did research on Google and couldn't find proper How to guide.
Feedback much appreciated

There is no web console in ConfigMgr 2012. If you want a web console you have to look at third-party products.

[Forum FAQ] Three helpful ways for analyzing Inventory issues in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager

To troubleshoot issues related to Inventory, we can view the related logs or force a full inventory to analyze the reason. In these article, we mainly introduce
the detailed ways to enable Verbose and Debug logging,
save the inventory report and force a full inventory on the client.
How to force a full inventory on the client
1. Open wbemtest and connect to “root\ccm\invagt”.
Figure 1.
2. Click “Enum Classes…”and then click “OK”.
Figure 2.
In the Query Result, you can view the cache for each entry. (Figure 3)
{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001}
Hardware Inventory
{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000002}
Software Inventory
{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000003}
Heartbeat
{00000000-0000-0000-0000-0000000000010} File Collection
Figure 3.
3. You can highlight the entry that contains the action you want to force a full to be sent and click “Delete” to delete it:
Figure 4.
4. Close all wbemtest dialog boxes and initiate the appropriate action in the Client Agent Action to perform a full inventory.
Figure 5.
How to enable
Verbose and Debug logging
It is also helpful to trace the flow if you enable Verbose and Debug logging on the client,
Management Point and Site Server.
To set verbose/debug logging on an SCCM client or
Management Point, you can simply edit (or create) the following registry keys:
HKLM/Software/Wow6432Node/Microsoft/CCM/Logging/@Global/LogLevel to 0
HKLM/Software/Wow6432Node/Microsoft/CCM/Logging/DebugLogging/Enabled to True
Figure 6.
Figure 7.
On the site server, you edit the following registry key to enable verbose logging and then restart the SMS_Executive (or the state system
component):
HKLM/Software/Wow6432Node/Microsoft/SMS/Components/SMS_STATE_SYSTEM/Verbose Logging – Reg_DWORD set to 1
Figure 8.
How to save the inventory report
To force the ConfigMgr client to save off a copy of the report that it sends to the Management Point, you can create an empty folder/directory under the inventory temp directory
called archive_reports.sms.
Then edit the following registry value to point to the inventory temp directory:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SMS\Mobile Client\Inventory\ Temp Directory
Figure 9.
Figure 10.
From the figure 9, you can see that the temp directory path is C:\Windows\CCM\Inventory\Temp. After we run the hardware inventory Cycle again, you can see the report file is
saved in the path we have defined automatically. (Figure 10)
(Note: Please delete the
archive_reports.sms folder when have finished the troubleshooting steps to save disk space.)

Hi,
I have troubleshooted this error message several times and can say that this is a generic error message. The reason can be different in your Case. As suggested in the error message you should first check all the steps in the following kb article.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2742275/tr
In most of my cases the performance counter corruption was the reason of this error message there fore I would suggest you to first check the System and application event logs for performance counter corruption. Right click on the System event > Find
and search for corrupt.
Additionally it is also mentioned in one of the MS kb articles that deploying winrm policies on Hyper-V Host is forbidden in a SCVMM environment.
If this is the reason in your Case you should disable it. No other chance.

System Center 2012 configuration manager

Hi All,
I have access to SCM 2012 R2 and i want to kill one ruining application program on user computer from software center so is it possible to kill from the server.
Br,
Ashish Sangawar

If the installation is started, the easiest way to stop a running installation is by killing the installation process (in most cases msiexec.exe). This can not be done via the Configuration Manager Console.

Remote Control System Center 2012 Configuration Manager

Hi all, first post on the forums. Was wondering if anyone was having a similar issue. We are slowly testing SCCM and I'm stuck on probably the most important feature, remote control. Whenever I "Start Control" of a workstation,
the remote control agent window shows "Connecting to Host Session" which brings up another prompt that alerts me that "The identity of the computer cannot be verified..." to which I reply "yes" to connect anyway. However
I never connect and in the remnote control agent window shows "Viewer DIconnected".
On the client itself, in the CmRcService.log file, even though it shows that "Session allowed full control" and that I'm an "authorized viewer", later on I see "Disconnecting the connection. An existing connection was forcibly
closed by the remote host. (Error: 80072746: Source Windows". One line below, the log reports "The connection has been terminated". Note I do not have a Firewall Policy enabled and I do not have any stringent virus protection
running. Currently testing on Win7 x86 machine but also happens on WinXP, Server 2008 x64 and x86, etc. Any have a resolution or idea why this is occuring? Any help and/or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all.

This is a DPM supportability issue, I believe. Last I heard, no it was not supported. SharePoint 2013 does not support SQL 2014 until the April 2014 CU. The CU should be out soon, although it appears to have been delayed (usually comes out on Patch Tuesday,
which was this past Tuesday).

FYI Update Rollup 3 for Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 - Virtual Machine Manager (KB2965413) Stops SCVMM service starting

I just applied update:
Update Rollup 3 for Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 - Virtual Machine Manager (KB2965413)
and (KB2965414) but it failed to install.
After a reboot I could not login to the VMM and the service would not start
An event id 0 was reported with:
Service cannot be started. System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException: Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information.

After I removed the update the VMM was able to start, no reboot required.
When I have time I will try to apply both updates again successfully and see if the issue still occurs.

FYI. I've had the same issue after I installed Update Rollup 3 (KB2965413), seeing the exact same error on event log. Tried to start the service manually, getting service unable to start error. This is a machine running
with Windows Server 2012 Standard. Solution for me is simple. I just install
KB2965414 (Update Rollup 3 for SCVMM 2012 R2), reboot the server, and the SCVMM service auto start up by itself.

Problem in the first run of "System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager – Evaluation (VHD)"

Hi All,
I need to evaluate the "System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager" so I downloaded the Evaluation VHD from this URL:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40844
I downloaded all the 13x ISO images and used the supplied SC2012_R2_SCOM_EVALVHD.exe to
rebuild the VHD file. I am using Windows Server 2012 Standard.
As indicated by the install instructions, I used “OM2012R2_VHDEval.docx"
to create the Virtual Machine to run Operations Manager. Problems:
1) when I first connected to the Virtual Machine just created in Hyper-V, there was a cmd window saying that was impossible to connect to the domain I provided. i think the domain was correct. Is this error a showstopper or the Operation Manager should be
able to run anyway?
2) To run Operation Manager on the Virtual Machine, the install guide says "On the desktop of the virtual machine, double-click the
Operations Manager Console folder. Operations Manager Console
folder provides access to different parts of Operations Manager. Double-click
Operations Console to open the Operations Manager console."
so I did click on the Operation Console icon but it says the file does not exist in the Virtual Machine. How is that possible if this is a prepackaged Virtual Machine ready to use for evaluation? I checked the pointed folder and actually inside "c:\Program
Files" there is no System Center folder at all..?
Any help would be much appreciated, I'm kind of lost at the moment and not sure how to get started with this (to me) new software.
Thansk.

Team Foundation Server 2010 and System Center 2012 SP1 Operations Manager WorkItem Synchronization fail

Hello,
We are currently implementing a Devops solution with SCOM 2012 SP1 and TFS 2010 SP1 and we would like to synchronize APM alerts with TFS and the Operational Issue WorkItem. However we are not
able to sync anything.
Here is our environments :
Products :
SCOM
System Center Operations Manager 2012 SP1
French
OS: Windows 2012 SP1 Std x64
French
DB: SCOM SQL Server 2012 SP1 x64
Management Pack
MP Operations Manager TFS Work Item Synchronisation 7.0.9538.0
MP Alert Attachement 7.0.9538.0 (We have also try the version in the VM DEVOPSALL : 7.0.9538.1005)
TFS
Team Foundation Server 2010 SP1
French 10.0.40219.1
OS: Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Std x64
French
DB: TFS SQL Server 2008 x64
TFS 2012 Object Model Installer (We have also try the version 2010)
Here is our configuration :
TFS Platform
This a French platform with a project based on the Process Template SCRUM 1.0 alone in a Team Project collection. The Operational Issue import completed successfully. It’s possible to manipulate
Operational Issue for all of its states from TFS.
SCOM Platform
We followed the documentation at :
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj883936.aspx
to configure SCOM Alert Attachment and Operation Manager Tfs Work Item Synchronization. Everything seems to be ok. All configurations succeed. We did not configure Intellitrace collector.
The problem occurs when we are trying to push an APM alert to TFS. When we assigned an alert to the Engineering nothing is synchronized in TFS. There is no error in the event viewer on the TFS
server. But, on the SCOM server we get 2 exceptions raised by Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Modules.Apm.TfsWISync.OMModules. We provide you the log of the SCOM Server in this mail.
Detailed exceptions :
Exception message are in French. In English it could be : OEF expected. The followed elements are not closed : Source, Link.

According to you, is there a possible incompatibility of the synchronization system with French environments?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
To monitor the complete TFS infrastructure, you need additional monitoring packs that alert you about a wide range of problems with TFS components. When you import the TFS Work Item Synchronization management pack, it is a best practice to
also import and configure these monitoring packs, you can double check these:

Configuration issue on two items for system center 2012 config manager

My first issue was at the beginning of the install trying to extend the AD schema for system center 2012 config manager version 7.5.1561.0. The
path is missing for SMSSetup\Bin\x64\ to execute
Extadsch.exe is not on my disc. There is only a x86 and 64 bit folder with no bin.
Second issue when creating configuration manager connector. Error connecting to the database. So i went to my sqlserver and checked the permissions on the account I did notice that there are no smsdbrole_extract role permissions. Did I miss a step somewhere
along the way? On a side not that this is an instance and not under the default place. Also, i am using sql 2008 R2 version.

OK, nothing wrong with that per se, but it has nothing to do with ConfigMgr. Also, ConfigMgr is not a "module", it's a distinct product unto itself with its own unique requirements and dependencies that is also architecturally completely different. So,
there's nothing to uninstall to install ConfigMgr. Also, I hope you're not trying to install these products on the same server. That is OK for a small lab environment, but nothing more. Even then, I wouldn't do it since its never something you'd do in production.
As mentioned, each product has its own unique dependencies with no true overlap.
