Cannot monitor Windows Operating Systems
In the process of attempting a SCOM 2012 R2 deployment, I cannot get SCOM to monitor the Windows systems on which the management agent has been deployed. I have installed the "Microsoft Windows Server" MP, as well as a bunch of other "server"
related MPs (i.e., DNS, AD, etc.)
Selecting the "Microsoft Windows Server" entry in the monitoring view shows all the entries I would expect to see, but none of the selections show any data being collected. All of the Windows Updates have been applied and the systems rebooted.
I have searched this forum as well as the web, and haven't found anything that works. I'm wondering what I've missed.
BTW, the SCOM server is clearly having issues (see my other "Log on locally" thread) but I don't know if there is any connection. In other words, my SCOM deployment may need to be done over. (Although it is unclear to me just what tables
and other information would need to be removed from the SQL database.)

Hi,
For the issue that Windows operating system not monitored, the cause may be not importing the Windows Server based OS management pack:
System Center Management Pack for Windows Server Operating System
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=9296
Windows Server base OS monitoring is not a part of the default management packs shipped with SCOM, we have to download and import it.
In addition that, this issue can occur because the new agent has the same NetBIOS name as a previously installed agent. When the agent is deleted from Operations Manager, the grooming of the deleted agent is hard coded to occur after two days. Therefore,
the agent is not immediately groomed out of the database completely.
To work around this issue after the old agent is deleted from the console, wait three days, and then add the new agent to Operations Manager. Alternatively, make sure that two full days have passed and then add the new agent to Operations Manager.

Windows Operating System not being monitored
I have installed some of the management packs (advanced workflow module events, event log provider events, performance monitor porvider events, registry provider events, script and powershell provider events, service monitoring events, vmi provider events) and
there are no overrides. I still cannot get the windows operating system to get monitored. I have restarted the server and still none of the windows operating systems are being monitored. Is there a certian management pack that i need to install
for the monitoring Windows Operating Systems. dktoa is correct, just because you have the Agents installed does not mean that anything is actually being monitored. In fact, all that will be monitored is the Agent itself being able to communicate with the Management Server.
However, I would suggest to ensure that all of your Agents are reporting back as Healthy (aka green), before you import any Management Packs. That way any issues that may occur can be directly linked (and thus troubleshooted) to the MP.
Additionally, you have not mentioned what Windows OS you are trying to monitor. More than likely it is a Server OS; in which DKTOA has provided the link for the Windows Server Operating System Management Pack.
However, if in case it is a client-based Windows OS (i.e. XP, Vista, 7) than that Management Pack can be found here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=15700.
You should note, that there currently is no Management Pack for Windows 8; though it is due out soon. -
Windows Operating System "Not Monitored"
Hi, I have seen multiple posts regarding this, and I have tried many things without luck. I thought I'd contribute what helped me. Funnily, I actually fixed the problem while posting my question. But I thought this may be useful to anyone else with the same
issue.
We have SCOM 2012 7.0.8560.0
We have the Windows Server Operating System MP installed, 6.0.7061.0
3 servers are reporting that the Windows Operating System is "Not Monitored".
The 3 servers which are not being monitored all appear to be Windows Server 2012 R2 operating system.
What we've tried
Uninstall SCOM agent from the SCOM console. Remove SCOM agent folder. Reboot. Reinstall SCOM Agent from SCOM Console (push install). install completes successfully.
Enable Proxy Discovery
Reboot SCOM Servers
Ensured the SCOM service account has Admin rights on the server
Disabled Windows Firewall
Set User Account Control to minimum
Verified DNS (DNS functions 100% in our environment, with scavenging every 7 days)
SCOM Database Grooming runs every 7 days
The problem has existed for weeks\months, so this is not a DNS or Database grooming issue (unless there is something lingering in the database?)
Re-Ran the "download SCOM Management Packs" from the console - all MP's are up to date
After reading through the release notes of the Windows Server Management Pack, I searched my discovery rules to perhaps see if we had disabled the Server 2012 discoveries, or something careless like that. To my amazement,
there we NO Windows Server 2012 R2 Discoveries present in our environment! This confused me greatly, since we are running the latest version of the Windows Server management pack.
For some reason, it appears that updating your MP's from the console wizard does not pull this down.
After manually downloading
the Windows Server Operating System management pack, and installing it manually, everything started to work.
I'm not sure why the SCOM wizard doesn't do this, but this has kept me busy for days, for something so easily missed.
I suggest MS enhances the SCOM "update MP" downloads to pull down an entire management pack if it says it was "imported successfully". I now wonder what else I think it "up to date", which may have rules missing without
my knowledge.
CheersHi,
It is really nice of you to share this, this will help others who encounter the same issue.
And as far as I know, we need to manually download the Windows opearting system management pack to management group, then we can monitor windows operating system:

SCOM 2012 SP1 - Windows operating system is not monitored in a SCOM agent
Hi All,
I have an agent with windows 2012 operating system that i am trying to monitor.
At the "Windows computers" view the "Windows operating system" column is empty ("Agent" column is Healthy).
Why SCOM doesn't recognized that the agent have operating system?
Please help.
Thanks.
TechNetHi,
On workgroup servers, you have to make sure you've used the momcertimport tool to import the certificate into the SCOM service.
In addition, I would like to suggest you go through the below article to monitor non-domain servers with SCOM:
Monitoring non-domain members with OM 2012

Using Microsoft.UpdateServices.ClientServicing apis on windows operating systems.
Hi,
I am willing to use some apis from "Microsoft Update Services", but MSDN says that ,
`This namespace is used in combination with the Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration namespace to support updates for clients using operating systems other than Windows (for example, the Windows Mobile operating system).`
Does that mean that i cannot use the apis on windows Operating systems (eg. Desktop OS)
Thanks,
Suraj K.There are two namespaces in the WSUS API:
Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration - which is used to manage the WSUS server
Microsoft.UpdateServices.ClientServicing - which (as you've noted) is designed to support custom written agents on systems other than Microsoft Windows -- a facility mostly pointless since the SDP schema used to package updates only supports
Microsoft Windows executable file formats -- but theoretically it could have been used to support a Windows Mobile 6.x agent, or could even be used to support a Windows RT agent (if only the RT executables could be packaged into a WSUS package).
If you want to leverage existing Windows systems (i.e. the Desktop OS) talking to existing Microsoft patch management systems (e.g. AU, WU, MU, or WSUS), you'll actually need to write to the
Windows Update Agent API which is a COM interface.

This is going to sound dumb but I just got a call from someone claiming to be with Microsoft Windows tech dept. Apparently something malicious attacking my computer. I hung up because Mac doesn't use Microsoft Window Operating System - right? I have Mac OS X. I have loaded Microsoft Office 2011. Can that allow something malicious or is this guy a scammer and I was right to hang up???
Actually you can install Windows on your MBP via Bootcamp.
You should have kept the individual on the phone for as long as you can tolerate. The time he wastes with you is time he cannot spend scamming an innocent victim.
You can always politely ask the caller to hold while you 'answer the front door' or the like and just set down the phone and go about your business. The caller will eventually hang up.
But your analysis was 100% correct.

reinstalled my windows operating system and decided to put on windows 8. After loading all of my music back into a freshly installed itunes, my 4th gen ipod is not recognized by itunes. My 1st gen ipod nano works with no problem. I can eliminate any problems with the cable and connection.
I've stopped and started the service, and also have performed cold reboots.
Nothing seems to have helped the situation.

I am trying to download photos from my iPod to either an external hard drive or my computer, which has a Windows operating system. The iPod should function like an external hard drive, right? My photo files/computer/hard drive were damaged. Can I put my photos on the iCloud, and then save on external drive? Not sure how to o this either. I lost a few years of baby photos. Thanks for any help!
iTunes syncing to iPods (that are not iPod touch) mostly goes one way, from computer to iPod. For photos, at the time you synced the photos to the iPod, there is a setting that you needed to have enabled in iTunes if you later want to recover them from the iPod. This setting is on the iPod's Photos tab in iTunes (where you set up photo syncing). There is a checkbox for Include full-resolution photos.
IF that checkbox was checked, you can Enable disk use on the iPod's Summary tab, and find the full-res photo files in the Photos folder on the iPod. Otherwise (if setting not checked), when iTunes syncs the photos to the iPod, iTunes converts the images to a very low-resolution version that is optimized to fit the small iPod screen and stores the image data in a single database file (to save storage space). There may be third-party software that can extract separate photos from that database file, but the resulting photos will look bad blown up to computer screen size. -

Can i back up my mac and windows operating system on the one hard drive?
Hello everyone, i use a 4TB external hard drive to back up my imac. I recently installed Parallels and Windows 8.1 so I can run a PMS for my business. Now that i have installed Parallels and windows 8.1 on the mac can i format the drive so it will back up the mac and the windows operating system? Thanks!
If you want to back up with Time Machine, you need a GUID partition table and an HFS (Mac OS X) partition. If you can also create a Windows partition without destroying the partition table, then you can use the same drive for both systems. I can't give you specific instructions for Windows.

i have a problem with installing PS13 as I get an error message "This installer does not support installation on a 64-Bit Windows operating system. Please download the 64-Bit version of Photoshop Elements." how do i do this
Try downloading the trial. It ought to detect that you have a 64-bit system.
You aren't using Vista, are you? PSE 13 requires at least win 7 and I think a few folks with vista have gotten a similar error message on trying to install it. -
