How to centrally manage system center 2012 all products manger's

Dear All,
I am planning to deploy system center configuration manager, operation manager, virtual machine manager and service manager.
Please let me know is there any centrally manage suite available to manage system center 2012 R2 from single console.
Thanks in advance.

Option 1 or 2 are fine. Changing the user name has no effect as just like all good Windows apps, it doesn't reference the actual name but instead uses the SID.
Option 3 is not sufficient for every single thing delegated to this account. Granted, I can't name what these things are and they are very, very little used, but they do exist. If you do delete the account, the only way to get an equivalent one back is to
call support as it involves updating the DB directly.

Is is possible to install System Center 2012 R2 products using SQL aliases names

Hello,
Is there a way to install System Center 2012 R2 using SQL aliases, and if applicable, which System Center products support this scenario ?
I have it as an acceptance criteria, but I'm not able to make it work.

So, I would like to hear from a voice of someone who have tried this, and can confirm if it is applicable or not.
ok, I have to ask the stupid question but.... What is wrong with your voice?? The setup tells you it is not supported what more do you want?

Why buy System Center 2012 Operations Manager (how to convince my boss)

Hello
I need to put together a document to try and convince my boss to spend the time/money to move from SCOM 2007 R2 to SCOM 2012 R2.
One of the areas I want to focus on is Cross Platform (Unix/Linux), Network Monitoring and APM
Does any one know of any good documents/short videos showing the benefits of SCOM 2012 R2 which a view to selling the benefits to a line manager (also have a very sceptical Unix/Linux team).
Perhaps someone else has already been through this loop, and has such a documents :)
Thanks

Hi AAnotherUser:
Here is a recent video on managing SUSU Linux with SCOM 2012 R2:
http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=video+system+Center+operations+manager+Linux&qs=n&form=QBVR&pq=video+system+center+operations+manager+linux&sc=0-0&sp=-1&sk=#view=detail&mid=F6243978D517D71C1A74F6243978D517D71C1A74
I can assure you this level of ease of monitoring applies to all supported Linux versions not such SUSE.
This video focuses on the dashboarding features in SCOM, it might convey the value you are looking for:

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.

Upgrading SC 2012 Service Manager SP1 to System Center 2012 R2 - ERROR

Hi all
Problems when upgrade from Service Manager in Microsoft System Center 2012 Service Pack 1 (SP1) to Service Manager in System Center 2012 R2 in test lab.
I have two servers:

How to fix this error?

For anyone else, you may need to reset any failed jobs statusid back to 3 after you run the script from
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn299381.aspx (first
issue)
and after that run your jobs in correct order.
I had to reset the statusid for DWMaintenence and common.load.

How to access for Virtual machines in System Center 2012 r2 by remote console through code?

Hi All,
I am new in System Center. I am using System Center 2012 R2. I have a web application written by dot net, which shows the list of virtual machines created in the SCVMM. Now, I need to select a Virtual Machine from the list, and click a link named "console
access". This will allow the console access to the virtual machine. How can I perform this task?
Thanks in advance,
Moohak

The SCVMM VM console is an ActiveX application.
It is installed with the SCVMM Console application.
If you search around for the old SCVMM Self Service portal, you will discover how MSFT originally enabled this from a web front end.
If you look at Windows Azure Pack you will find a new pattern using RDP gateway.

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

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.

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:

How to sequence Microsoft System Center Service Manager?

Issue: This applications has a shortcut named as "Service Manager Shell" which will launch as shown in screenshot below,
The same shortcut will launch as shown in screenshot below with Sequenced Application,
Please let me know how to make this shortcut launch same as source.
Regards,

I would check the package for any reference of the specific path to the C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012 path. Also have you run a ProcMon trace to see where the app is looking for the files? The certificate may be pointing to the C:\Program
Files Directory rather than the App-V path..

How effective is System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection for Windows?

Hi,
Is there any thing out there that compares how effective System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection is compared to other AV / Malware solutions? I have read where MS Security Essentials comes up short of the level of protection compared to
other solutions.
Thanks Lance

Didn't mean to propose that MS love (yes we all know that you love MS Jason) post as an answer to your question.
Truth is SCEP may be good at how it works, it doesn't whine to users and it integrates to ConfigMgr. That's where it's good at. And I get Jason's point there, I'd just like to know what are those "other products" that haven't found the malware
when SCEP did? MS may gather telemetry, but so do all the other players.
There are several companies that do ONLY and ONLY AV products so they put their 100% effort in them, I don't think that AV is the business priority number 1 for MS.
Check this:
http://lifehacker.com/microsoft-admits-that-third-party-antivirus-is-more-eff-1441135677
And for your info Security Essentials uses the same AV engine that SCEP does.
If you want REAL protection, tested in the REAL world, I suggest you read some reviews of the products.

--- ADVERT (I don't think it's illegal here, eh Jason?)
I'd go with F-Secure, it's not that expensive and you get some neat features like USB (or any other device for that matter) blocker. And yes, it can be configured to use individual USB sticks and so on..

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:

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.
Vista Ultimate Dell XPS M1330

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.

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.

Backup Sharepoint 2013 SP1 Farm with SQL 2014 RTM "Always On" using System Center 2012 R2 Data Protection Manager

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).
