Create metric alert in OEM 12c for windows services

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a way to create metric alert for services on a windows host, so that when any service is in stopped state, we will get an alert.
We can check the status of services from OEM that are running in a windows server.
Host -> Monitoring -> All Metrics -> Services
I got below command from this forum that was posted a long time ago,
nmefwmi "wbem_wql=select name, pathname, processid, Started, startmode, state, status from win32_service" "wbem_wql_column_order=name, pathname, processid, Started, startmode, state, status" "wbem_namespace=root\cimv2"
However, I am not sure where to run this command. Basically we want to get an alert when a windows service stops.

Hi Abid,
Ensure you are logged in as sysman user or any other super Admin user
Go to Host -> Monitoring -> All Metrics -> Services >
Next to Collection Schedule there is a modify button > click on that
It will show a new page having following options
Data Collection Enabled Disabled (Select Enabled here)
Frequency
Default is 15 min , if you want then you can change it accordingly

OEM 12c for solaris (sparc) disk2 download failed

I am trying to download OEM 12c for solaris (sparc) from below link but disk 2 download failed after 80% with a error saying connection to server closed. I tried it couple of times with different browsers even from different machine but still same error. Disk 1 downloaded successfully but disk2 always failed right at 80% after 2.4 GB downloaded. It makes me belive that it is a problem related to source file or server. Anyone has similar experience and know how to get it solved?
Appriciate for your help.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/oem/grid-control/downloads/solsoft-094433.html

I can't download it either, and nor can any of my colleagues, using any browser. I am in UK, I suspect there's an issue with the Oracle mirrors, and that if you are downloading from US it probably works fine. Can someone from Oracle investigate this please?
We consistently get the same result: the downloaded file is: 2,732,571,489 bytes, rather than 3,430,333,041 bytes. It will not unzip as it is not a valid archive, error message:

Portege R500 - Does Toshiba sell OEM licenses for Windows 7

Hi
I have a Portege R500 with Windows XP.
I have now installed a Windows 7 version without activation to see if all drivers work (Windows 8 is not supported as far as I know).
All looks good and Windows is telling me now as expected it is not genuine and offers me to buy the license, but when I go to MS it fails (it seems MS does not sell Windows 7 anymore).
Does Toshiba sell OEM licenses for Windows 7 for a R500 ?
It would be a shame to throw it away because of that.
Thank you
Markus

Toshiba offers notebooks with preinstalled recovery image and offered version is activated. With other words when you buy notebook you buy also valid licence for preinstalled OS version.
Toshiba supports newer operating systems too. As you can see on Toshiba download page you can find drivers, tools and utilities for Win7 64bit and use them after Win7 installation.
Unfortunately Toshiba doesn't offer licence for it. All you must do it to obtain Win7 64bit with valid licence.

Error message: Host process for windows services stopped

I recently had to install a new hard drive into my laptop. I am running windows vista and have installed all updated drivers. After installing itunes and uploading my backed up library, I went to play a song and I got the error "host process for windows services stopped working and was closed." Movies play fine. I have searched but have not found anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Q I just upgraded to a new mobo and CPU, the EVGA X58 SLi and i7 920, and this issue still persists! That means it is either the sound card or Steam. The drivers on the CD have no issues, only the newer ones do. So by deduction there is something wrong with the new drivers, but I need them to not BSOD in OpenAL!

A135-S4527 Host Process for Windows Services stopped...

I have started getting a Windows error: Host Process for Windows Services stopped working and was closed. Laptop runs fine except my network connection says Connection Status: Unknown The service to detect this status is turned off and McAfee stopped working. Can't run any of the MS tools either. I am suspicous of conficker e but don't know how to detect or remove it. Have seen the b variant on an XP machine at work, but the tools we used on it don't work on Vista.
I am running Vista Home Edition (came on Laptop) upgraded to SP1 with auto-updates on. McAfee was also set for auto-updates and nightly full scans, active e-mail and internet scanning. No recent software downloads except for updates.
Have been having the issue since about April 28. Tried to restore but no dates exist past May 5. Tried the F8 Startup recovery no problems found. Have tried restarting services but they quickly stop again. Uninstalled McAfee and tried AVG. It allowed defintion updates and I scanned all files. No viruses, trojans or malware detected.
Any suggestions? I have a tasklstserv file I can copy and paste if it will help.

That's a bad-sector event. At a command prompt (cmd.exe), run chkdsk /r.
Event ID 7 Source Disk
But it doesn't seem likely that's the cause of the message. When you get another one, note the time and check the Application and System logs for entries at that exact time.
Thanks for the detailed information.

I keep getting a popup that says"host process for window services has stopped"

I keep getting a popup window that says "host process for window services has stopped"
How can I get rid of this?

Hello tribefanz,
Sounds like a compatiblity issue with a program and Windows 7. We need to find out what program is causing the issue though. We can do that through event viewer
1. Click the start orb
2. Select Control Panel
3. System and Security
4. Under Administrative Tools select the Event Viewer
In the event viewer you will want to drill down into the Application and System logs and look for anything with a Red X that says Error. Identify the program causing the problem and then we can go from there.
If I have helped you in any way click the Kudos button to say Thanks.

Application Restart and Recovery APIs doesn't work for windows services

I am using the Application Restart and Recovery mechanism (provided in Windows API Code Pack for Microsoft.NET Framework) to collect some information (i.e. stack information when there's an unhandledexception) before my windows service crash down.
It works well for windows form applications, but the callback method wouldn't be called if the host is a windows service.
I have checked the article: https://msdn.microsoft.com/zh-cn/subscriptions/downloads/cc303708
But it doesn't specify clearly whether it works for a windows service. It seems that the recovery will only be activated when the user interacts with the error dialog of Windows Error Reporting (clicking "close" on the dialog, for example).
So I am wondering is my guess right that the Application Restart and Recovery mechanism doesn't work for windows services. Or is there a better way to meet my requirement?

I would suggest trying ARR if that's what you want to use. The restart portion won't work, but it doesn't need to as if you fail out of your service, the Windows service controller will handle recovery (up to and including restarting your service).
You configure those recovery actions either through code or one of the built in administrative tools for services such as services.msc.
DebugDiag/ADplus and similar tools ultimately do use built-in APIs; you don't need to add anything external to collect debugging information. You do however have to write a good deal of code to do somethings. It's pretty simple to use the unmanaged
function that I pointed out before and
MiniDumpWriteDump to write a minidump when you hit an unexpected error(the dbghelp.dll that comes installed with Windows has it so you don't need anything additional installed). You can even write a basic debugger that literally debugs a process using
only kernel32 functions (see
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms679301(v=vs.85).aspx if you're interested).

SB Live! (DELL OEM) driver for Windows 7

I've just installed Win7 on my Dell Dimension 4600 which has an on-board Creative SB Li've! (Dell OEM) device.
Everything has installed ok but I'm pulling my hair out trying to resolve the Windows 7?driver requirements for this device. The DELL Resource CD doesn't seem to provide the drivers and the supplied and the original Sound Blaster Li've! CD that came with ther system doesn't find the device.
I've looked all over the place for a windows 7 driver for this device but without success.
Failing this, I was thinking of purchasing a Creative Sound Blaster 5. VX PCI card but would like to know if this device is Windows 7 compatible.
Steve

, In all sincerity, the SB Li've is simply too old of a card to install for Windows 7. The card would only have basic functions anyway. You should check on Ebay for an X-FI of some sort and I truly believe you would get 3 to 4 years out of that card or the life of Windows 7.
Any money you spent on that card has long come back to you as old as that card is. You can buy an X-FI from $30 to $50 on ebay, and I have done it for MANY friends and family.

Permissions for Windows Service on Server

Post Author: bdimon
CA Forum: Authentication
I wrote a Windows service running as an Active Directory user. It cannot print on the Windows Server so I wrote a windows application to test the permissions. When a user with local admin rights runs the test application, it prints. He starts the program using the "Run As" option and enters the Active Directory user from the service, he gets the same error as the Windows Service gets. This must be permissions-based.
When I installed this Windows Service on a staging server, everything was fine. However the staging server was not "secured" by the network team so the Active Directory user had Read/Execute permissions on the C: drive. I do not want to ask for these permissions on the production server's C: drive.
The error is:
System.Exception: Load report failed. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800002AD): Error in File UNKNOWN.RPT:

I believe I'm having a similar problem, and was hoping to see if either you have found an answer to the problem or reactivate this thread in hopes someone will finally answer us.I'm creating reports using a windows service as well. The report files are compiled into the DLL, and they are being exported to save them to disk.   The error is being generated when the report object is first accessed (which happens to be when attempting to set the Text property on a TextObject). It works fine on my development machine. I've installed the service on the production server using a Visual Studio 2005 Setup and Deployment project. I added the 2005 Crystal merge module to the setup, so all necessary files should exist on the server. The service is running as a domain user that has admin rights on the local machine, but we're still getting this error that seems, according to posts I've found online, to be a permissions issue.Here is the exception in its entirety:

ISE Posture Condition for Windows Service Pack and Remediation

Hi,
We having ISE ver 1.1.1 and currently on PoC. I have the following points to be clarified for Posture and Remediation.
1) How to configure a condition to check Windows Service pack (may be more than 1 Windows favor such as XP, Win 7 and Win 8) and how to remediate in case client is not complying with Windows requirement.
2) I configure AV condition and looks its working fine, however I still couldnt find the place to how to remediate in case client is not having proper verion and AV definition on his PC.
3) We have a Authorization profile configured with dACL"Posture Remediation" where we allowing AV server update url and also matching ACL configured on switch "Posture Redirect", wants to know the exact purpose on these two ACLs.
4) where can we see the logs of none-complaints logs and find out the reason for non-complaints
appreciate if someone can please give us a proper document to achive the above task or send me any working senario configuration steps.
thanks in advance.

Group policy preventing write access to hard drive for Windows Service

I recently stood up several SharePoint Servers which use various domain user accounts as service accounts. Everything was going fine until the servers were moved from the staging OU to the production OU which has a server hardening GPO applied to it. Once
this occurred, all of SharePoint's logging via the Tracing service broke--because this account doesn't run as Local Service, but rather one of the domain user accounts.
After examining the Application event log, I saw it filled with errors indicating the E:\Logs\ULS and E:\Logs\Usage were not accessible due to error 0x5 -- access denied.
I explicitly granted permissions to the service account to these folders, and gave Full Control perms. I then restarted the service, but the Access Denied errors persisted. I granted Full Control to the entire E: drive -- the root folder -- with inheritance,
and made sure the permissions were inherited. And yet the problem persisted.
I installed a different application which can log to different drives, and it writes to the E: drive just fine when run as Local System. If I change it to one of the domain service accounts, it too produces Access Denied errors trying to write to the E:
drive, regardless of the NTFS perms.
The E: drive is a hard drive, not a USB or removable drive.
I found several posts here that explain how to disable write access to USB and DVD media, but I cannot find anything how to block writing to a hard drive. The server hardening GPO contains thousands of different settings and it'll take days to comb through
them all. Does anyone know of a GPO setting that can block writing to a hard drive, regardless of NTFS perms?
The servers in question are running Windows Server 2012 standard (not R2).
UPDATE: If I grant the service account the ability to log on locally (i.e. add it to the local Users group), and open a command prompt with "Run as User," I can write to the E: drive just fine. But the access denied
persists when running as a service. This leads me to believe a GPO is blocking the write access to a
service user but allowing the same account when logging in as an interactive
user.

I created a test Windows service that does nothing more than open two StreamWriter objects -- one to write into E:\Logs\ULS and the other into C:\ProgramData\Logs. The former writes dummy text once per second, while the latter writes errors. So error messages
will get written into C:\ProgramData\Logs.
I set up this test Windows Service and set it up to use my SharePoint app pool account, and this was written to the error log - the first line indicates the account being used.

Mind you I'm starting and stopping the service while logged in interactively -- I can CLEARLY SEE there's an E: drive and E:\Logs\ULS folder!
It is quite evident to me that there is a policy blocking Windows services from seeing the E:
drive.
Run this under the LocalSystem (SYSTEM) account, and all is well.

ITunes for Windows services

I just downloaded the latest version of iTunes. As usual with iTunes, there is another service that starts with the program. This one is for the iPhone.
Now, as I do not have an iPhone, nor is one in the immediate future, there is no reason for this service to be running.
There is no service listed when I look using msconfig. When I go into my registry and delete the key, the system works fine, but it reappears on the next reboot.
How can I get rid of this unneeded service?
