SCOM 2012 SP1 - PowerShell Script failed to run - 3 alerts appear after every reboot of the SCOM Server

Brand new SCOM 2012 SP1 install with Update Rollup 1 applied
Single server, local SQL install, SQL Server 2012 SP1
Hyper-V VM running on Server 2012. VM has 8GB Ram, single vCPU
Going through initial management pack importing and configuration, at this point I have the Windows Server 2012 and SQL 2012 MP's installed.
See screenshot
http://i.imgur.com/l0Molh1.png
I am getting the following alerts in my SCOM console and cannot find a resolution to fix the issue. I don't want to set an override, as an override will prevent the PowerShell alert in other instances, where I might want to receive an alert.
Looking at the alert description, it states "The Data Access service is either not running or not yet initialized"
The SCOM Console launches and responds fine, and I get no other errors. I check the Data Access service and it is online. I have left the system alone for a couple of hours and no other errors. I then closed those alerts and restarted the
server, and they came right back in, so I know that this is something that is happening at either server startup of during the start of the SCOM services.
Is it possible that SCOM is trying to execute these scripts and the Data Access service has not come online yet?
Has anyone else come across this before?

Please try the method in the following thread:
Note: As there is operations related to Registry, please perform a backup before doing this.

SCOM 2012 SP1 Web Console High Availability Configuration

We are a large children's hospital, with many ancillary units that we are trying to get to help monitor their servers/devices/applications through the SCOM web console. Due to the number of connections we have two standalone web console servers. The
entire environment is running on Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition servers, and we are running SCOM 2012 SP1 UR3. When accessing the web console directly via the FQDN of the server, everything works great. We have an HLB virtual IP and DNS entry
(SCOM.domain.com), which works flawlessly when access the default IIS website. However, when accessing the web console URL (http://SCOM.domain.com/OperationManagerdown) Negotiate:Kerberos, NTLM, Negotiate. I believe the issue lies in the fact that
the Application Pools are running under the ApplicationPoolIdentity identity, and the HTTP SPN's are using the machine account. We have tried changing the identity of the application pools to a domain account (the SDK service account), and modified the
SPN's so the HTTP SPNs are assigned to the domain account. We also created SPNs for the HLB VIP DNS alias. But to no avail. While we realize that Microsoft does not support load balancing of the web console, there has to be a way to make
it work. We will have more than 50 connections, so using one web console server is not an option, and asking our users to use two different URLs is not very user friendly. If anyone has any suggestions or had any success, please let me know.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Is switching to forms based authentication an option? The extra login might be considered a pain however, but forms plus SSL is the only successful LM configuration we have worked with. We use F5s.

Problem upgrading from SCOM 2012 SP1 to R2 (near impossible to uninstall SCOM agent from Management Server)

I'm trying to upgrade our SCOM 2012 SP1 environment to R2, but I have a heck of a problem getting there.
We currently have an test installation with SCOM 2012 SP1 with Management Server and Console on a single 2012 Standard server. The database are located on a remote server. The R2 setup stopped mid way through the setup, because the SCOM 2012 SP1 agent is
installed. And I could NOT remove it my any normal means. I've tried "misexec.exe /x productcode", the setup, powershell uninstall and so on. Nothing works, because the management server installation is blocking the uninstall. The uninstall says
I have to remove the management installation first. And that's not gonna happen.
I had to follow this guide to finally getting through the setup: http://www.opsman.co.za/forcibly-removing-a-scom-agent-that-cannot-be-uninstalled-by-normal-means/
In addition to searching for the agent msi install key in registry, and deleting everything. After I did this, the setup is working, and the SCOM management server, console and DB are up to date. However, the Microsoft Monitoring Agent are STILL there in
Control Panel. And this can NOT be the most healthy way of getting through the setup.
I'm about to upgrade to R2 in our production environment with 3 management servers, and I would hate to go through this sketchy process there as well. Just for the record, I have no idea why the agents are installed on our management servers.
Any of you have tips as to how I can get rid of the agents more gracefully?

Hi
Thanks for the replay guys!
None of those links touch my problem I'm afraid. I have followed the Upgrade guides you pointed to, step by step. But the setup does not Complete. There's problems during the actual software Upgrade of the management servers (3'rd step in the Upgrade page).
I've dived into the Application logs and installation logs, and as far as I can tell, it stops because it has trouble upgrading while the server has the 2012 SP1 Agent installed. I do not remember the actual error text right now, but I can get it in a few
days.
Anyhow, the setup DID move on once I removed most of the registry information of the agent installation. So. that leaves me to the conclusion that the agent IS in fact stopping the setup. Either the agent are malfunctioning, or the setup do not expect the
agent to be present on the management servers. I suspect the latter to be the the most plausible. At least until Yan Li told me this was normal.
So, I'm not sure what to think. I'm pretty much forced to remove this agents, as this is the only thing allowing me to continue the setup. At least untill I'm told otherwise. But I hate to do it this way. It's so dirty. The registry is pretty much cleaned,
but there's still Application files present, and the agent is still in the Control panel and can be started. It's not something I would like to do in our prodution environment.

Performance of Network Monitoring in SCOM 2012 SP1

Hi all!
I´ve problems with performance of the network monitoring feature in SCOM 2012 SP1.
According to the
guide the following should be adeqate:
•1000 network devices (approximately 12,500 monitored ports) managed by a resource pool that has three or more management servers
•500 network devices (approximately 6,250 monitored ports) managed by a resource pool that has two or more gateway servers
We have 800 network devices with a total of 24000 ports,
BUT only 1500 of them are monitored. This is basically what happens automatically after discovery, since only ports between monitored devices are monitored by default.
For this setup I first used only one management server dedicated to the Network Pool,
based on my assumption that if two servers could monitor 6250 ports, one server would be more than enough for 1500. I found this configuration working very poorly so I added another server. I now have two servers
dedicated for the Network Resource Pool. (They are NOT members of the “All management servers resource pool”)
Still, I get constant alerts regarding Health Services Private Bytes on these servers. They vary between 1-2Gbytes. Furthermore, if one of the servers goes offline, the network devices that was monitored by that server becomes grey for
several hours. Even if the server only is rebooted it takes forever to get everything online and green again.
I don´t really know what I should do now. I had a plan to replace our current network monitoring system (SNMPc) which easily handles this load on only one server. They are of course completely different beasts, but still. SCOM seems to
require a massive back-end to produce equivalent real life results.
Any suggestions or reflections from the field are highly appreciated!
Regards
Peter

Hi,
Try to overide the monitor Health Services Private Bytes by the following steps.
◾Go Authoring space – Management Pack Objects – Monitors
◾Go to change scope – select clear all – look for Health Service – tick it and press OK.
◾Expand Health Service – expand Entity Health – expand Performance – expand Health Service Performance
◾Select the Health Health Service Private Bytes Threshold.
◾Right click the mouse and choose to overide the monitor for a group
◾Select the group called Management Server Computer Group and press OK
◾Select the Agent Performance Monitor Type – Threshold and change the value 104857600 to ex. 2610612736.
◾Select to store the overide in a management pack you have created and press OK

Non supported version of SQL with new install of SCOM 2012 SP1

I have SQL 2012 SP1 running on Server 2012. I have tried the SCOM installation with and without CU2 (to fix the 1618 installation error)
SC VMM installed cleanly and appears to work.
The install for SCOM produces an error that says, "The installed version of SQL Server is not supported". I have not been able to find any log from the install that has that error in it.
Also, I have not been able to determine the true requirements of the SQL server for SCOM. (I found dock SCOM 2012 RTM and SQL 2008 R2, but noting for 2012 SP1.
Can someone point me to the correct place for the install log with (hopefully more information) and/or the requrements for the SQL installation?
Roy

The log is not created yet because it has not started the install.
The firewall is the most common issue indeed. Temporarily Disable the firewall and see whether you can continue.
Are you using a developers edition? The only 2 editions supported are standard and Enterprise.
The true requirements for SCOM 2012 sp1:
We recommend that you check for updates and hotfixes for SQL Server. Note the following database considerations for Operations Manager:
SQL Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2012 are available in both Standard and Enterprise editions. Operations Manager will function with both editions.
Operations Manager does not support hosting its databases or SQL Server Reporting Services on a 32-bit edition of SQL Server.
Using a different version of SQL Server for different Operations Manager features is not supported. The same version should be used for all features.
SQL Server collation settings for all databases must be one of the following: SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, French_CI_AS, Cyrillic_General_CI_AS, Chinese_PRC_CI_AS, Japanese_CI_AS, Traditional_Spanish_CI_AS, or Latin1_General_CI_AS. No other collation
settings are supported.
The SQL Server Agent service must be started, and the startup type must be set to automatic.
Side-by-side installation of System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 reporting and System Center 2012 Service Pack 1 (SP1), Operations Manager reporting on the same server is not supported.
The db_owner role for the operational database must be a domain account. If you set the SQL Server Authentication to Mixed mode, and then try to add a local SQL Server login on the operational database, the Data Access service will not be able to start.
For information about how to resolve the issue, see System Center Data Access Service Start Up Failure Due to SQL Configuration Change
If you plan to use the Network Monitoring features of System Center 2012 – Operations Manager, you should move the tempdb database to a separate disk that has multiple spindles. For more information, see
tempdb Database.

Thanks, Harry :-)

Hi There,
Based on my knowledge, When ever a SQL query is ran against any database the query output is executed and stored in TempDB and then it is shown to your SSMS or reporting application.
So i would suggest you check the size of the temp SQLDB and see if auto growth is enabled for that and does your drive as well have enough space to hold that temp DB in its local drive if the DB grows its self.
As querying 1 years data for 1400 servers is a huge data and requires lot of time and space.
I had a similar issue here, Look here:

SCOM 2012 SP1 Test environment - "New View" is greyed out?

I'm new to SCOM....
I just created a SCOM 2012 SP1 test environment, but for some reason the "New View" button is greyed out. (I attached a screenshot)
I can't figure out why and it pretty frustrating. I'm assuming it is a permissions issue, but I can't figure out how to get this feature enabled.
any assitance is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
The "New View" is greyed out if you try to create a new View in a sealed Management Pack.
You can create a new View only in unsealed Management Pack's inside the console.

Hi all!
What would be the best recommended Management Pack for HP Storage (P2000) for the SCOM 2012/SP1/R2? Free products are privileged, of course, but we would also consider the paid ones.
Thank you very much for your time and attention!
Best regards!

Hi,
Recently I created Custom Management pack for MSA P2000 Storage. Its primary purpose is to monitor performance.

SCOM 2012 SP1 Can't get email alerts for Heartbeat Failure or Computer Unreachable when combined with Group.

Hello,
I have SCOM 2012 SP1 RTM POC lab. I have created a dynamic group that picks up my system center servers based on some simple criteria and this works fine.
I have set up a subscription for critical and high severity alerts originating from this dynamic group called SCOM Servers to send emails to a distribution. This also worked well for any critical alert that was NOT Heartbeat Failure or Computer Unreachable.
I see those in the console but no email.
So I set up a new subscription by right clicking on the alerts and here's the kicker. If add no other conditions to these subscriptions, they will send emails to the DL I provided, but if add the condition initiating from group, and specify my dynamic
group SCOM servers, no email alert. But the alert still appears in the console.
Any ideas on this? I would like the appropriate support groups to get these types of alerts for the servers that they support (i.e. SCOM will get SCOM servers, Exchange Admin will get Exchange and never the two roads shall meet.).
I even tried some internet posted custom management pack, but I couldn't import it after adding the code that he listed.
I mean, isn't this a basic requirement for any mid-sized company?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Donald,
Like Dan says you need to add the "Health Service Watcher" objects to the groups as wel. Unfortunately this cannot be done in the Dynamic group Editor but has to be done in the XML. Export the XML and add the following piece of code between the
lines </MembershipRule></MembershipRules>:
<MembershipRule>
<MonitoringClass>$MPElement[Name="SystemCenter!Microsoft.SystemCenter.HealthServiceWatcher"]$</MonitoringClass>
<RelationshipClass>$MPElement[Name="MicrosoftSystemCenterInstanceGroupLibrary7084300!Microsoft.SystemCenter.InstanceGroupContainsEntities"]$</RelationshipClass>
<Expression>
<Contains>
<MonitoringClass>$MPElement[Name="SystemCenter!Microsoft.SystemCenter.HealthService"]$</MonitoringClass>
      <Expression>
<Contained>
<MonitoringClass>$MPElement[Name="MicrosoftWindowsLibrary7084300!Microsoft.Windows.Computer"]$</MonitoringClass>
          <Expression>
            <Contained>
              <MonitoringClass>$Target/Id$</MonitoringClass>
            </Contained>
          </Expression>
        </Contained>
      </Expression>
    </Contains>
</Expression>
</MembershipRule>
Save the XML delete the old one in OpsMgr and import the edited.
For SP1 the SystemLibrary version is 7.0.8430.0. If this is not your version you need to edit this in the code above.
Hope this helps,
Regards Marthijn van Rheenen

Upgrading SCOM 2012 SP1 agent to SCOM 2012 R2

Hello All
We have created a new SCOM 2012 R2 environment and now planning to upgrade our agents which are in SCOM 2012 SP1 environment . We want to keep the agents dual homed for some time . I would like to know if there is any kind of automation/script that someone
has already made to upgrade SCOM agent from SP1 to R2 ,and at the same time have it dual homed (pointing to 2 MG)

You may try
1) upgrade the SCOM agent by
msiexec /i MOMAgent.msi /qn /l*v D:\logs\AgentUpgrade.log AcceptEndUserLicenseAgreement=1
2) Add additional management group y using following vb script
Option Explicit
Dim objMSConfig
Set objMSConfig = CreateObject("AgentConfigManager.MgmtSvcCfg")
‘Add a management group
Call objMSConfig.AddManagementGroup ("MyManagementGroupToAdd", "company.sm.net",5723)

SCOM 2012 SP1 Notifications - Escalation

Hi,
I am looking to implement a tiered notification, with escalation..so for example..
Initial alert hits Email Group
Unresolved after 30 mins text sent to on call engineer
Unresolved after a further 60 mins all engineers receive text
Is this possible to configure in scom 2012 sp1?
Thanks
Gareth

Hi,
You can try this Process if still not done…
We assume that you have created one Group in SCOM and added respective servers or devices into that group. (Explicit or dynamic member)
We assume that for each level of notification you have created distribution list in
AD or Exchange and added those DL in to SCOM Subscriber
Also assume that mail delivery channel is created in SCOM
Subscription 1:
In Condition, Select
Raised by any instance in specific group and specify group name in Criteria
Also you can specify
severity, priority and resolution state
–if required.
Add Immediate Alert Subscriber’s Distribution list ( Ex:-
Helpdesk Team DL)
In Channels, select Email Channel which you create already also selects
Send notifications without delay
And Enable this notification subscription when finish.
Subscription 2:
In Condition, Select
Raised by any instance in specific group and specify group name in Criteria
Also you can specify
severity, priority and resolution state
–if required.
Add Call Engineers Distribution list ( Ex:-
L1 Support Team DL)
In Channels, select Email Channel which you create already also selects
Delay sending notifications if conditions remain unchanged for longer than (in minutes) and specify the time as you mentioned 30 minutes
And Enable this notification subscription when finish.
Subscription 3:
In Condition, Select
Raised by any instance in specific group and specify group name in Criteria
Also you can specify
severity, priority and resolution state
–if required.
Add All Engineers Distribution list ( Ex:-
L2 Support Team DL)
In Channels, select Email Channel which you create already also selects
Delay sending notifications if conditions remain unchanged for longer than (in minutes) and specify the time as you mentioned 60 minutes
And Enable this notification subscription when finish.
All three subscriptions
severity, priority
and resolution state should select the same if you specified otherwise no need to worry.
Above steps will solve your query i think.
Thanks & Regards, Kesa_Kara

SCOM 2012 SP1 failed to send notifications by IM Channel

Hello, I have a problem with my SCOM 2012 SP1. When it tries to send notification by IM Channel I get the following alert in SCOM:
Notification subsystem failed to send notification using
device/server 'live.august.ru:5060' over 'sip' protocol to
'sip:[email protected]'.
Microsoft.Rtc.Signaling.OperationFailureException: The GetInbandDataAsyncResult
operation has failed with message: "The data session subscription to server
failed.". See the InnerException and FailureReason properties as well as the
logs for additional information. . Rule id:
Subscription077dc311_59c0_4ba5_a432_072b486cd287
At the same time the following event in the Application Event Log generates on the server with IM service:
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: Live Communications Server Authentication
Event Category: (1003)
Event ID: 16435
User: N/A
Computer: LCS
Description:
At least one invalid authentication signature was detected.
There were 2 messages with invalid signatures in the last 7112 minutes. The last one had the FROM header: sip:[email protected]
Cause: This could be due to a client or server which is not handling authentication correctly, or it could be due to an attacker.
Resolution:
None needed unless the failure count is high (>100). Check your network for any rogue clients. Restart the server if problem persists.
Notifications sent by the SMTP channel work fine!
I Have the following Servers:
LCS (live.august.ru) - Win 2003 EE SP2 + Live Communication Server 2005 SP1
SCOM - Win 2012 + SCOM 2012 SP1
Also I have a third server (Win 2003 + SCOM 2007 R2) and it sends notifications to the same VMLCS server successfully. The configurations of IM Channels are identical on both servers:
IM server: live.august.ru
Return address: sip:[email protected]
Protocol option: TCP
Authentication method: Kerberos
IM port: 5060
I tried to change the Authentication method to NTLM, and the port to 5061, but it doesn't help...

Rebuilding/Reseting the SCOM 2012 SP1 Data Warehouse. What is the easiest way and what steps i have to perform

Hello guys,
What are the best steps to rebuild the data warehouse ? In SCOM 2012 SP1 it is build during the initial installation and SCOM it is not giving you a tool to rebuild it. I have tried to create one DW database using the Data Warehouse Initial Setup.sql file
from the installation dvd and copied the permissions from my original DW. Although the sql script executed successfully i found some missing tables in the newly created database. So I'm not sure whether if i detach the old DW and rename the new test database
to OperatonsMangerDW it will work. Please advice on this issue. Please let me know if there is any easier approach of rebuilding/resetting the Data Warehouse database.

Hi,
I would like to suggest you refer to the below link to move the data warehouse database to a different system:
