How to monitor self signed certificates using scom 2007 R2

How to monitor self signed certificates using scom 2007 R2. i need to monitor specifically self signed certificates expiration. if possible in two state monitor...please suggest me the best way..
B John

Hi,
Based on my understanding, that you want to create a monitor to monitor certificate expiration, with two state, when the certificate is about expiration for 21 days,, send warning, when the certificate is about expiration for 10 days, then send
alert. I think we need to create scripts to do so, hope the below links can be helpful:

Exchange Server 2010 mailflow reporting using SCOM 2007

Hi,
We are using SCOM 2007R2 in our Organization and we are Monitoring Exchange server 2010.
We are in need of reports for Mailflow statistics (send and receive)from Exchange server 2010 using SCOM 2007R2.
Eg: Microsoft Exchange 2010 Server Reports Transport Platform Hourly server Statistics.
By default reports available in SCOM for Exchange server will not fulfill our requirement.
Earlier for Exchange server 2007 we are able to fetch the desired reports which is available by default.
Eg: Exchange 2007 SMTP Message Received
Exchange 2007 SMTP Message Sent
Is there any way to fetch the reports for Exchange server 2010 same as Exchange 2007 reports.
Thanks

Hardware Monitoring using SCOM 2007R2

Hi All,
We have a requirement to monitor hardware (Dell,HP) in our SCOM 2007 R2 environment. Also we have to make sure that the hardware monitoring group should only view the hardware related alerts and no alerts related to OS.
I believe that Hardware monitoring is based on the operating system and those OS alerts may be related to the Hardware related alerts.
I want to clarify myself is my point of stand that can I restrict users from viewing OS related alerts when I provide access to the hardware monitoring group.
Thanks
raj

You can download and install Hardware Management pack for Dell and HP to monitor Hardware servers using below link
http://opsmgr.wordpress.com/2007/06/30/hardware-monitoring-with-scom-07/
And for operating system you can import management pack related to your o.s using below link
http://blogs.technet.com/b/mazenahmed/archive/2011/11/30/download-windows-server-operating-system-management-pack-for-operations-manager-2007.aspx
So that you can separate between users who viewing alerts of Hardware and users who viewing alerts of OS

Office 365 Monitoring using SCOM 2012 R2

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=43708
We have imported MP for O365 and added the new subscription (with Global Administrator permissions using Office 365 admin )after that we got an alert like below:
Connection to EndPoint Service failed
Any idea what would be the issue here?
Sengo

Hi,
It's the correct page response "EndPoint not found", if you try to access the https://office365servicehealthcommunications.cloudapp.net/shdtenantcommunications.svc
page.
The blank username and passwords are Ok as well, but be careful to edit your credentials from the subscription page, as they are not changed in this case in the Office365 Run As Account, looks like a bug. Therefore, edit them only through
the Accounts menu, or create a new subscription.
The management pack communicates exactly to the mentioned above page only, it's not possible to use IPs, as they could be changed at MS servers side. The host should be whitelisted in case if you have firewalls\proxy. At the same time, depending
on your network\proxy\subscription configurations, possible issues could exist because of certificates and authorization at different levels.
In case of proxy - the Office 365 Proxy Run As Account should be configured. It's automatically created during installation of MP, but the account with Internet access should be added there. Take in attention that using the Office365 Run As
Account does not work out. Therefore the separate Windows account should be created and used as the Office 365 Proxy Run As Account, even if it's the same as the Office365 Run As Account. When using the proxy account, one of the Monitoringhost.exe
processes works under this account. If the proxy account is not configured, this process works under the system account. The proxy account was not documented in Office365 MP manual.
Don't change the default name of created Office 365 Run As accounts, somehow it affects the connection monitor.
Hope it helps :)
Natalya
Hi Natalya,
Thanks for this post. Indeed my SCOM server is behind a proxy. Let's say my Office 365 account is called "SCOM.O365" - it appears under Administration - Accounts under Basic Authentication, with the "friendly" name of "Office 365
Run As Account_xxxxx". Do you mean I create a second account under "Windows" (it would be Active Directory based) also called "SCOM.O365" that the MP will use for proxy, and the MP will automatically run MonitoringHost.exe with this
AD account?
thanks!

Hi,
You can use the MP
System Center Management Pack for Windows Server Operating System

"Other Requirements: All management packs (MPs) included in this download are supported on System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 and above."

Office 365 monitoring using SCOM

Looks MS has released MP for office 365 , Did any one imported and configured alert ?
What are the pre-request to configure alert ?
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=43708

This MP is a little annoying as you'll get a critical alert for any Resolved Incident entries still showing on the Microsoft O365 status pages. Until Microsoft expire these entries off from their side, you're stuck with the alert. If you manually close
the alert, it gets recreated as it's still present on the O365 side.
This means you're left with a bunch of unnecessary critical alerts clogging up your Active Alerts, such as:
Resolved Incident EX8319: False positive for Exchange Online (ServiceRestored)
Resolved Incident EX8318: False positive for Exchange Online (ServiceRestored)
Resolved Incident EX8312: Post-incident report published for Exchange Online (ServiceRestored)
Resolved Incident EX8267: Post-incident report published for Exchange Online (ServiceRestored)
Resolved Incident LY7139: False positive for Lync Online (FalsePositive)
Active Incident SP9188: False positive for SharePoint Online (ExtendedRecovery)
Active Incident SP9208: Extended recovery for SharePoint Online (ExtendedRecovery)
Active Incident SP9187: Service restored for SharePoint Online (ExtendedRecovery)
Active Incident SP8367: Service restored for SharePoint Online (ExtendedRecovery)
Resolved Incident IS9202: Service restored for Identity Service (ServiceRestored)
Resolved Incident MO9196: Service restored for Office 365 Portal (ServiceRestored)
Resolved Incident FO8317: Post-incident report published for Exchange Online Protection (PIRPublished)
Resolved Incident MO8285: Service restored for Office 365 Portal (ServiceRestored)
Resolved Incident MO8287: Post-incident report published for Office 365 Portal (ServiceRestored)
Resolved Incident EX8268: False positive for Exchange Online (ServiceRestored)
Resolved Incident MO8253: Service restored for Office 365 Portal (ServiceRestored)
Resolved Incident MO8370: Post-incident report published for Office 365 Portal (ServiceRestored)
Resolved Incident EX9215: Service restored for Exchange Online (ServiceRestored)
Resolved Incident EX8343: Post-incident report published for Exchange Online (ServiceRestored)
Of that lot, I regard only four of those to be Critical, the rest should be in the Informational section.
Bear in mind too that this is per O365 subscription, so if you happen to look after a number of clients with O365 subscriptions, you're going to get multiples of those. Flood city.
They need to further enhance the Office 365 Monitoring API to make it more granular so that things can be properly categorised.
Oh, and the folder should be called Microsoft Office 365, not just Office 365. :-/

Office 365 Management Pack - SCOM 2007

Hi All,
Can anyone please point me to an official link on SCOM 2007 R2 Management Pack for
Office 365. Just wondering if the below link is the right one which I am reffering to
http://www.systemcentercentral.com/scom-monitoring-office-365/
Also, the one which is available for download in "Microsoft Download center" (http://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=43708)
is designed for SCOM 2012 family, not for SCOM 2007 R2
Appreciate your help...
Faizan

Although this MP is not the official document on monitoring Office 365 using SCOM 2007 R2, it original came from
http://blogs.technet.com/b/momteam/archive/2011/07/29/monitoring-office-365-using-operations-manager.aspx which has a higher reputation and reliable source for Microsoft solution. At last, it is high recommend that you should test it on your testing
environment before roll out to production environment.

SCOM 2007 - SharePoint 2007: Maximum connections counter

Hello,
I am trying to locate the "Maximum connections counter" for SharePoint 2007 using SCOM 2007. I don't see it so far!!!
"Web Service - Maximum Connections" does not show anywhere any idea?
Thanks,
Dom
System Center Operations Manager 2007 / System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R2 / Forefront Client Security / Forefront Identity Manager

The object is Web Service, which then has several different counters, which then might have several instances.
If this performance object is something you want to monitor for, and it is not included in the mp, then you just need to create a performance monitor or collection rule, depending on what you want to do with the data.
The Exchange 2013 MP, for example, has no performance collection rules. So it's very possible, while the product group wanted to include everything most people need, they could have forgotten or were just not able to do so before they had to release
the mp. The MOSS 2007 MP has been around for years, was never updated, and isn't one of the better mps from MSFT. So if you want to extend it with a custom management pack, or just add something via the console, then you should be fine.

SCOM 2007 R2 vs Windows 8.1 client Management Pack

Hello
We are running rollout of replacing XP to Windows 8.1 on clients monitored by SCOM 2007 R2.
Clients are discovered but we miss a Win8.1 Client Management Pack to discover and monitor basic parameters as we used to do for WinXP clients.
As far as I know there is no Win8.1 Client MP released yet but I found a workaround (custom MP) which allows to discover Win8.1 clients when Windows 8 Client MP is imported. (http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2014/04/01/windows-8-client-os-mp-doesn-t-discover-windows-8-1.aspx)
The problem is that Windows 8 Client MP is designed for SCOM 2012.
Do you know if it is possible to import the MP above to SCOM 2007 R2 without any consequences?
What is the recommendation for the way forward? Do you think upgrade to SCOM 2012 is a must?
Regards,
Arkadiusz

Hi Arkadiusz:
The download page for the Windows 8 client management pack does accurately indicate SCOM 2012 is the platform.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=38434
The Windows 8 Client Monitoring and Aggregate management packs will not import into SCOM 2007 R2. You do need to upgrade your management group to SCOM 2012 or SCOM 2012 R2 in order to use the Windows 8 client management pack.

SCOM 2007 extest_ user mailbox maintenance/management.

I use SCOM 2007 to monitor our Exchange 2010 environment. I use the test-* commands in powershells on my desktop to catch anything that may occur between SCOM alert thresholds. Several of these use the extest_ account.
Today, I looked at the extest_ user mailbox and found that the tests are accumulating in the mailbox. What do I need to configure so the tests are purged from the mailbox, including the deleted items folder?
Information, links, and comments are all welcome.
TIA.

Hi,
Do you mean that there are many test mailbox and you want to remove them? As far as I know, those account is used for synthetic transaction tests for the Exchange. Those synthetic transactions will perform several tests on your Exchange infrastructure
and warn you if there is a problem with your mail flow. In order to perform such tests the requirement is to have specific users with mailboxes created. Those users is created by script named New-TestCasConnectivityUser.ps1.
Each site will have a test account, please refer to the below link for more details:
http://stefanroth.net/2013/02/09/scom-exchange-2010-mp-extest_-user/
From my point of view, we can remove those account, but then the script can create them again.
If you don't create a test mailbox on one or more Mailbox servers, the Management Pack will return the following warning: “The test mailbox was not initialized. Run new-TestCasConnectivityUser.ps1 to ensure that the test mailbox is created.”

Update agent from SCoM 2007 to SCOM 2012

Expets,
We have SCOM 2007 R2 CU7on 1 server.

when i push the agent from the SCOM 2012 to machine still monitored by SCOM 2007, the machine appear in pending management under device management under setting
tab
but when i remove the SCOM 2007 manualy, there is no problem and the installing of SCOM 2012 agent done successfully
any way to make SCOM 2012 agent automatically without remove SCOM 2007 agent ?
Ahmad Samir | MCSE 2003 | MCTS: Exchange 2010, MCTS: Lync 2010. MCTS: SCOM 2007

Hi,
If SCOM 2012 and SCOM 2007 R2 belong to the same management group, then you are trying to make your agents multi-homing, and if so, just discovery them and push agent to them should work.
Here is a similar thread, please go through it:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c6d15d7f-1779-47ea-a437-bc6ab00e2f64/upgrading-scom-2007-r2-to-scom-2012?forum=operationsmanagergeneral
And we may need to logon to one agent and check its event viwer for operation manager log for more details.
