HP Laptops and SCOM 2012

Hi,
I wanted to see if there is anyway to push out HP updates to HP workstations(laptops) using SCOM 2012?
Trying to avoid going workstation, through workstation and install updates manually.
Any ideas?

As everyone has said you are talking about SCCM (or ConfigMgr as it is affectionately known). You've been given a couple of links above but these will only get you started. They will show you how to set up a solution for deploying Microsoft updates. I have
one myself
http://www.gerryhampsoncm.blogspot.ie/2013/04/sccm-2012-sp1-step-by-step-guide-part.html
However that is very different from deploying HP updates, which is your requirement. For this you will also need HP System Software Manager (SSM) and System Center Updates Publisher (SCUP).
You will get good information as follows:
http://www.gerryhampsoncm.blogspot.ie/2013/04/sccm-2012-sp1-step-by-step-guide-part_27.html
(this shows how to deploy SCUP)
HP Client Catalog for Microsoft System Center Products - Technical White Paper
(this is for SCCM 2007 but the idea is the same)
Good blog describing the process

Scom 2007 and scom 2012 agent multi home

is there version limit for the agent multihom for scom 2007 and scom 2012?
In technet i found it for SCOM upgrade it mentioned need scom 2007 CU4 and above, how about for multihome approach for SCOM agent?
Besides that, instead of agent upgrade, could we perform agent uninstallation scom 2007 and reinstall scom 2012?
Thanks for your advice.

Hi Cylim,
You can upgrade your agents to SCOM 2012 only from SCOM 2007 R2 CU4. Please look at these helpful links:

As Scott mentioned, you can uninstall SCOM 2007 agent and install SCOM 2012 agent on one or a few servers, and see if they report properly to both management groups SCOM 2007 and SCOM 2012:

What is Licensing Method for SCCM and SCOM 2012

What is Licensing Method for SCCM and SCOM 2012
We have 75000 clients, so we going to implement SCCM and SCOM 2012 environment in azure. Actually we plan to go for One Central Administration site and three primary sites (to manage this clients), going to host in Azure. I need to know how the licensing
process work for this environment, how many licenses we need to get for this? is charging for Client based, Site based or environment based? Please update.
Thank you

Hi,
Running the SCCM and SCOM servers themselves in Azure to manage clients outside azure is not really supported if I remember correctly..
http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2013/10/23/configmgr-and-endpoint-protection-support-for-windows-azure-vms.aspx
Licensing is explained here.
http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/about-licensing/SystemCenter2012-R2.aspx
In short for Client OS you need a cal per client, included in Core CAL and Enterprise CAL.
For servers it is licensed per CPU and can be licensed for all virtual servers on a host as well, included in the guide above.
ps. side note a CAS is not really necessary in most case if you don't have more than 100'000 clients, it adds a lot of complexity and I would avoid it if I could.

SCCM and SCOM 2012 R2 Databases on one box

Our current situation is: About 150 Servers(VMware) and 600 windows 7 clients.
SCCM 2007 and SQL 2008 on one box, and for SCOM 2007 we have a dedicated SQL2005 VM. All of them on W2K3R2 OS.
Because of end of support for W2K3, we are not going to upgrade the servers.
New situation is SCCM and SCOM 2012 R2 with SQL 2014 on W2k12R2. I'm considering to install one SQL 2014 server only for SCOM and SCCM. Would performance be an issue??
I've read http://www.hasmug.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/07-201210-Oct-SQL-Server-Optimization-and-Best-Practices-for-System-Center-Administrators-Kevin-Holman.pdf
and other articles, but couldn't find info about the pro and cons having both SCOM and SCCM DB's on one SQL 2014 server

There is no great different in settng up gateway server in SCOM 2007 R2 and SCOM 2012. As summary, it requires
1.Request certificates.
2. Import those certificates into the target computers by using the MOMCertImport.exe tool.
3. Distribute the Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.GatewayApprovalTool.exe to the management server.
4. Run the Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.GatewayApprovalTool.exe tool to initiate communication between the management server and the gateway
5. Install the gateway server.
However, the prerequisites has different between SCOM 2007 R2 and SCOM 2012

Exchange 2013 SP1 and SCOM 2012 R2

Hi there,
Hopefully someone can assist me with this issue, if it is one...
I am halfway through an Exchange migration, from Exchange 2010 SP3 on Server 2008 R2 to Exchange 2013 SP1 on Server 2012 R2.
76 users in total, roughly 80GB of Public Folders.
I have configured the 2013 environment with a cross datacenter DAG, also increased all of the timeouts of the cluster to take this into consideration, and everything appears to function as expected.
Added both 2013 machines to SCOM 2012 R2 for at least a week with no active users on it, and all monitoring reported ok, no issues.
Exchange 2010 is configured to use webmail.company.com for RPC over HTTP, which is what I have configured 2013 to use as well.
Implemented Microsoft ARR for client access to Exchange 2013, as opposed to ISA we've used for Exchange 2010.
A week ago, changed the DNS records for webmail.company.com from ISA to ARR, and all clients connected perfect.
Thought, ok, now we can start the migration. So far everything "seems" to be going perfect with the mailbox moves, however, SCOM is really noisy.
Attempted to reran the probe for EWS and got the error below:
Is there perhaps anyone that can assist me with these errors?
Cheers

FYI... IIS ARR is not supported for Exchange Server.
Check in event log if you are getting anything related to the issue.
About Outlook POP UP to end users. Check the event log on 2010/2013 for MRS events.
Are those mailboxes still moving or in move request?

SCVMM and SCOM 2012 Integration Issues

Hello, I have integrated SCOM 2012 RTM and SCVMM 2012 RTM and am having lots of issues that were not present with 2007/2008 family integration. For starters, my SCOM environment manages multiple untrusted domains, etc. When enabling VMM integration
I now get hundreds of alerts about "Unable to verify Run As Account", stating that is cannot login as the VMM service account for all clients that don't live in same domain as SCVMM server. For starters why do my physical servers, and all VMs need
to be distributed with this account? The alert is also expected logically, because this is impossible to distribute a Run As account to every agent in a multi-domain untrusted environment. Also according to this configuration, the Virtual
Machine Manager Connection Account created in SCOM is set to less secure (distributed to all agents), which is why the alert is coming up; additionally less secure setting is typically bad practice. Why does SCVMM do this by default? Can it be
changed? What are options here? It seems to me only the SCOM management server should need this Run As account, not every agent? Thoughts on this? Thanks!

I'm running SCVMM 2012 R2 and OpsMgr 2012 R2. I have the integration setup and have had the same issue with the RunAs account logging on to workgroup computers.
I tried changing the account distribution to More secure and only targeting my two management servers and the VMM server. I also changed the profile so that it targeted only the Windows Computer object for the same three servers. I came in this
morning and I do not have the "Run As Account Could Not Log On" message anymore on the workgroup computer, but now I have an alert "VMM Agent Not Monitored By Operations Manager" for the VMM server. I look at the Health Explorer and see that the agent
is reachable but its not being monitored.
I tried changing the RunAs profile back to "All Targeted Objects" but monitoring still didn't restart. Then I tried restarting the OpsMgr agent and then the VMM agent, but still the status did not change. Now, I have just set the account back
to Less secure and have again received the warning from the workgroup computer about not being able to log on. I'll wait a little longer to see if the VMM server begins to be managed.
Any experience with this?

Exchange Server 2013 Management Pack in SCOM 2012, can not update healthset status automatically

Hi, all
I have Exchange Server 2013 and SCOM 2012 installed. I have imported Exchange Server 2013 Management Pack to SCOM 2012. Now I have a question that when there is a service not healthy, I can find the red alert in my alert view with the Exchange 2013 server,
but after the service is healthy automatically, the red alert is still there. I can only make it become green healthy status after reseting the healthset status in the healthset explorer.
Does anyone know how to make the server become green healthy status automatically after the monitor is healthy?
Thank you.
Nile

Hi,
How many Exchange Servers do you have? Does this issue only occur on one Exchange Server?
Please check the application log on the problematic Exchange server and see whether there are any related event error.

Is it possible to use SCOM 2012 R2 with the new Azure Managment Pack to monitor Aure Wadlog Events for azure sdk 2.5

My operations team has been using MOM 2007 and has recently migrated to SCOM 2012 R2.
Till now we are using Monitoring Pack management packs which were released way earlier (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11324),
and had a dependency on diagonstics connection string being present in the cscfg of Azure package.
This pack was allowing us to monitor the wad logs and events generated by applications.
However we plan to move to newer Azure managemen pack (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38414), which allows for discoverability.
I have 2 questions -
Is it possible to monitor Diagonstics Event Log with the new Monitoring Pack released on 10/2014 ? Or will the users still require the earlier pack for monitoring diagnostics installed in parallel ?
Azure SDK 2.5 got rid of diagonstics connection string. Is there any possible way to Monitor of Azure Diagonstics wadlogs using SCOM 2012 R2
Thanks,
Pratush

Hi Pratush,
I would like to suggest you go through the management pack guide to get details. And you should be able to create custom monitor to monitor event logs for Azure.
Hope the below links be helpful for you regarding to monitoring Azure:

SCCM 2012 integration with SCOM 2012 - Disable Alerts during patching

Have SCCM 2012 R2 and SCOM 2012 R2 and use the Software Update Patching process for servers. When using the checkbox to "Disable Operations Manager Alerts when this program runs" option have noticed on completion of the job and the target
server is rebooted, a scheduled task appears for a short time titled "SCOM 2007 Agent Resume Task". The task disappears and there is no history to view.
Is this a legacy naming convention from 2007 world when the maintenance mode is turned off from the SCCM patching process?
How do I see the actual code behind the SCCM and SCOM integration with Maintenance mode to validate it.

SCCM should use the following SCOM SDK to do that.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb437532.aspx
That's incorrect. There is no API or method to put an OpsMgr agent into maintenance mode on the client itself -- maintenance mode is a centrally controlled feature of OpsMgr. The API/code sample you linked is performing that activity on the management server
which assumes you know the management server name and have permissions to carry out the action -- neither of which is fulfilled by the ConfigMgr agent.
The ConfigMgr agent pauses the OpsMgr client agent service and also unloads the workflows from the OpsMgr agent (it only did the first part in ConfigMgr 2007). This effectively puts the agent in Maintenance Mode (although to my knowledge this is not directly
reflected in the OpsMgr console).

NOT RESOLVED - SCOM 2012 R2 - App Advisor and App Diagnostics Issue

Hi there!
Here is our scenario: SCOM 2012 R2 is deployed in the environment
SCOM - Management Server and SCOM Management Console.
SQLOD - SQL 2012 Operational Database
SQLDW - SQL 2012 Data Warehouse Database, SQL Reporting Services, SCOM Reporting, SCOM Web Console.
Problem: SCOM Administrator is able to open SCOM Application Advisor, SCOM Application Diagnostics and SCOM Web Console from any computer only after the SCOM Application Advisor, SCOM Application Diagnostics and SCOM Web Console are opened
from SQLDW (i.e. after opening them from the place where they were originally installed). The errors message prompts to retry after adding the user to the proper groups for SCOM Application Advisor and SCOM Application Diagnostics. SCOM Web Console prompts
the user to login.
Workaround: Open SCOM Application Advisor, SCOM Application Diagnostics and SCOM Web Console on SQLDW (i.e. after opening them from the place where they were originally installed) and everything works fine.
Question: What is causing the issue and how to fix it?
Many thanks, in advance!

I followed the article and it did not fix the issue.
Here are additional details:
There is only one user who does not experience the issue and it is a user under whose credentials the SCOM was installed AND that user has to login from the local network. If this users tries to connect over VPN he receives the same error.
Here are errors when Test1 user logs in:
Application Advisor (Enabled authentication: Windows Authentication, Forms Authentication, ASP.NET Impersonation):
Authentication error
User account: DOMAINNAME\Test1
This user account does not have sufficient rights to use Application Advisor.
Ask your administrator to add this user account to the Operations Manager Report Operators role, and then try again.
Application Diagnostics (Enabled authentication: Windows Authentication, Forms Authentication):
Access denied
User account: DOMAINNAME\Test1
This user account does not have sufficient rights to use Application Diagnostics.
Ask your administrator to add this user account to the Operations Manager Application Monitoring Operators role, and then try again.
Operations Manager Web Console (Enabled authentication: Windows Authentication):
Prompted for credentials with error:
The user credentials are invalid or user does not have permissions to access the application.
Please provide the following information to the support engineer if you have to contact Microsoft Help and Support :
Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Presentation.Security.ConnectionSessionAccessDeniedException: The user access is denied.
This error reappears no matter whose credentials are entered. Even the SCOM Installer's credentials generate Error 3 when entered at the time when Test1 user is logged on.
App Pools:
OperationsManager - 4.0; Integrated; ApplicationPoolIdentity; 1 application
OperationsManagerAppMonitoring - 4.0; Classic; NetworkService; 2 applications

SCOM 2012 R2 Gateway installation error and no System Center Management server after install

Hi,
I have installed SCOM 2012 R2 Gateway and I got an error 25372 error at the start of the install. It still installs though. However I have no system center management service running in services but I can see healthservice.exe is running.
Why am I not seeing the system center management service?
Thanks.

Using gateways with certificates is always a bit complicated because there are several things that needs to be configured correctly.
DNS: The MS and the GW server need to be able to resolve each others FQDN. you can adjust the hosts files if needed.
Traffic is only TCP 5723 from the gateway to the MS. You can test this with the telnet client.
Certificates:
http://marthijnvanrheenen.wordpress.com/2012/03/28/scom-2012-connecting-a-gateway-server-using-certificates/
The gateway server should NOT be in pending management. Remove it from here before running the approval.
You should start by making sure DNS and the 5723 port are functioning because that is probably where the problem is.

SCOM 2012 repair and rebuild

Hello Gurus
I have a quick question. I have a SCOM server that is giving me weird errors, I have already posted the question at http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/systemcenter/en-US/b034c553-c1b9-4152-bb77-d9a29906d25c/scom-2012-r2-network-monitoring-error?forum=operationsmanagergeneral#b034c553-c1b9-4152-bb77-d9a29906d25c
but no answers :(
I would have loved to troubleshoot the error but since time is running out, I am thinking maybe to re-install the server. Every other component of SCOM is working, so I was wondering, is it possible for me to keep the other settings and configuration of
SCOM in the new SCOM installation. I want to retain the following specifically:
Management pack and their customization
The workgroup server management certificate
Server inventory
Overrides
Reporting and analysis service
Web console configuration
Account and run as profile configuration.
Alternatively, I am okay if I can only get rid of the network device inventory from the database. I believe the issues that I am facing are because of rogue records of network devices in the database. I am okay with removing them and starting the discovery
of the network devices again.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,

Verify that SNMP open in core switch to Management Server {#snmp-server community "Password" username}and verify from string community (case sensitive)
If not worked, Delete Network Device and reconfigure it again
To Delete Network Device, follow the below steps
In the Discovery Rules option under the Administration Tab, you will be able to see all the network devices that are discovered. This shows the devices that are discovered and currently getting monitored in SCOM. You can select multiple devices and then
remove them.
Then Run in powershell Get-RemotelyManagedDevice to check that all Network devices deleted.
you can also check below link to remove/restore network device
