Impact of reinstalling the SUP role at the Central server

Hi Experts
Env: 1 Central Server
15 Primary servers
1 WSUS Server
Multiple Active update sources (all primary servers)
We have identified an issue with multiple WSUS update sources in the database. This is from a previous WSUS installation where in the stale entries still prevail in the database. We have determined to delete the inactive update source from the db and reinstall
the SUP role alone. Apart from redoing the updates classification and custom site settings what impact is this going to have in the environment. e.g. on the old update lists, DMs, CIs. Am I going to lose all of that as well?
Looking forward to a response :)

Thanks Jason.
Would I have to reinstall the WSUS server again?  I am indeed testing this on my lab, and my DMs and U/Ls were all in place after uninstalling the SUP role and on reinstalling I can see entries in my wsyncmgr.log such as:
"Syncronizing sms database with wsus server"
"Synchronizing update 
"Incrementing CI version to '#' which I believe is pretty standard.
and I was following the blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/george_bethanis/archive/2013/01/31/confmgr2007-security-updates-cannot-be-downloaded-on-a-win2008-server-with-error-on-wuahandler-log-failed-to-add-update-source-for-wuagent-of-type-and-id-error-0x80040694.aspx
It nowhere said, we would have to reinstall the entire WSUS server!!
Kindly clarify.. </guid>

  • Charm Impact on changing the production server

    Hi All,
    we currently using Charm for a three system ECC landscape.
    Now currently so many changes are there in various stages.
    now , the team is planning to change the production server to high availabitlity server.
    there will not be any change in the transport route and all, only instead of existing server, the new server details will be added.
    I just wanted to know will there be any major impact in the current chagnes.
    kindly advice.
    Thanks,
    Subhashini.

    Hi
    its like system migration to the new server? or it is by client export?
    can you refer the thread [How to replicate Existing running Production server.|How to replicate Existing running Production server.]

  • How to deploy multiple instances of WebLogic on the central server,wl6.0

     

    I would suggest 2 domains each of them for it's own purpose, with an admin and a managed server with the same db connection name connecting to its own database. In this case the only difference is the domain name(has to be unique on a physical server) and the ports will have to be different on QA vs DEV. They could share the applications which can be located outside of both domains, but they will have to be deployed separately. if you want to work with different levels of code than you'll need 2 separate directories for storing the applications.
    In fact you should test in QA only after DEV is done with development(?!).
    In this situation watch the memory allocation as you can affect one of the domains by doing a lot of work/load on the other one.

  • [Forum FAQ] The Reporting Server cannot be reinstalled on a same SQL Server Reporting Service instance

    Symptom: Sometimes, when you want to reinstall the Reporting Server Role for Operation Manager 2012,
    but you may encounter an issue that the Reporting Server Role cannot be reinstalled after you successfully uninstall it. When you check the System Center Operation Manager installation log, you can find the following error as shown in Figure 1.
    Figure 1: Reporting Server Role cannot be reinstalled
    It seems that the SQL Server Reporting Service has not been configured properly. When you open Reporting Services Configuration Manager to check the settings, the settings seem fine though.
    Even you recreate Reporting Service Database, the error remains.
    After reviewing the OpsMgrSetupWizard.log, we get the following errors when wizard try to connect to SQL Server Reporting Instance (Figure 2).
    [07:24:05]:    Error:  :CheckHttpAddressResponse failed: Threw Exception.Type: System.Net.WebException, Exception Error Code: 0x80131509, Exception.Message:
    The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.
    [07:24:05]:    Error:  :StackTrace:   at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse() at Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.Setup.ReportingComponent.CheckHttpResponseFromSRSUrl(String
    httpSite)
    Figure 2: Error Log -1
    It indicates the Reporting Service encounters an internal error. The Website cannot handle the request. So you may check the Reporting Service log which is located in C:\Users\Administrator.SCOM2012\AppData\Local\SCOM\LOGS
    and the following errors may be found (Figure 3).
    library!ReportServer_0-18!1448!03/30/2014-02:53:23:: e ERROR: Throwing Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.ServerConfigurationErrorException:
    Unable to load assembly Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Reporting.Security, Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.ServerConfigurationErrorException: The report server has encountered a configuration error.  ---> System.IO.FileNotFoundException:
    Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Reporting.Security' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
    File name: 'Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Reporting.Security'
    Figure 3: Error Log -2
    Reason: After the Reporting Server is installed on a SSRS instance, the Reporting Server of SCOM
    needs to modify the web.config and rsreportserver.config  file to add its own assembly to make the Reporting Server work. But it does not change it back when Reporting Server is uninstalled. So the assembly cannot be loaded and the SSRS cannot respond
    our requests.
    Resolution:  When the Reporting Server is installed, the old web.config and rsreportsserver.config
    files will be backed up to web.config1 and rsreportsserver.config1. So you just need to change the files’ name back, then try to install Reporting Server of SCOM again. Everything would go smoothly.

    Hi AakashGhare,
    According to your error message, SQL Server 2008 databases are version 655. SQL Server 2008 R2 databases are 661. When you are trying to attach an 2008 R2 database (v. 661) to an 2008 instance and this is not supported. As other post, once the database has
    been upgraded to an 2008 R2 version, it cannot be downgraded. You'll have to either upgrade your 2008 SP2 instance to R2, or you have to copy out the data in that database into an 2008 database (such as using the data migration wizard).
    In addition, if you want to use a Windows Batch file code and command to automatically login to SQL Server, detach database and attach a new one database, there is a similar details about batch code for attaching database to a new database, you can refer
    to this article.

  • How to reset the wiki server (MAC OS X 10.9 with OS X Server App Version 3) with all wiki datas only

    Hi,
    I need to reset my Wiki on MAC OS X 10.9 with OS X Server App Version 3, but without reinstalling the whole server app to configure all services.
    Does anybody knows how to reset the wiki server (MAC OS X 10.9 with OS X Server App Version 3) with all wiki datas only.
    Thanks a lot for your hints

    Hi Linc,
    sorry, I haven't saved the System-Logfile before restoring my parallels VM.
    But it looks like issues of linking data.
    For testing the Server services I have done a reset for a user password and I have deleted the profiles and configuration from Client-Side. One with Mac OS X 10.9.1, one iPad with iOS 6.1.3. But it was not possible to reconfigure/reinstall the Server Profile. Also a manually configuration was odd, because for some services the new password was necessary and for other services the old password. Very strange.
    To bring back the services I have rolled back the last snapshot of my parallels VM. Afterwards there was no probleme to reconfigure/reinstall the Profile on Client-Side (OS X 10.9.1 and iOS 6.1.3). Also the manually configuration shows the password for all services are matching with the current configuration.
    I'm going to install a further parallels VM with Mac OS X 10.9.1 and Server App 3 from scratch to move the services.
    Greetings

  • Monitoring Targets That Were Monitored by the Central Agent

    I had to reinstall the central agent (oms agent) and i would like migrate all targets of the old agent to the new one as described in the documentation:

  • SCCM 2012 R2 Cu1: Can I reinstall the Reporting Services Point role without delete or change the SSRS-DB?

    Hi, I have some issue with the reports,
    Can I reinstall the SCCM Reporting Services Point role without delete or change the SSRS-DB (just reset the SCCM SSRS function)?
    I have saved/backup the custom made reports.
    /SaiTech

    Yes you can remove and reinstall the Role.  I had to do this recently on our SCCM 2012 R2 due to an issue with the reports not loading.   Found out that the problem with reports was from the upgrade to R2 from 2012 SP1 and was able to run
    a command to re-register the reports with WMI.  I actually removed the role, uninstalled reporting services feature from SQL, deleted the report databases, reinstalled the SQL feature, configured the reporting databases again, added the role back, and
    ran the following command.
    mofcomp "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof"
    This allowed all my reports to register as they should have and run without errors.  If you are having similar problems, you may be able to just run that command to get reports running without all the extra work I did.  For us we were getting an
    invalid Class error in the srsrp.log.

  • Impact of having the fsmo role holders not available for 14 hours...

    Hi everyone, we have a situation where we will lose power to the building for 14 hours and since we don't have a generator we'll be shutting down our main site. We have 15 sites, each has a dc and the hq site has two with the fsmo roles distributed between
    the two at hq. So two questions to start with:
    1. What will be the impact of having the fsmo role holding domain controllers inaccessible for a period of 14 hours?
    2. What will we be facing once we regain power and turn the hq dc's back on?
    Look forward to hearing back about this - the power outage is this weekend though!!

    Hi,
    Sorry for the delay reply.
    If your PDC Emulator fails, certain domain functions, security functions, can stop functioning. If anyone of the following is not happening then you should check if your PDC Emulator is working properly:
    •Time is not Syncing: PDC is the default source for the client computers to sync the time. If client computers are not syncing the time then you should always check the PDC.
    •User accounts are not locked out: PDC Emulator processes the account lockouts immediately for the entire domain.
    For more detail information, please refer to:
    FSMO - if server holding PDC Emulator fail on 2003 / 2008, what happen?

    The fix was to manually remove HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\Components\SMS_EXECUTIVE\Threads\
    SMS_WSUS_CONTROL_MANAGER registry key then re-try.

    Yes!!!  this worked for me.  I have SCCM set up with a number of untrusted forests with a firewall in between my SCCM servers and the untrusted forests.  The firewall went down and half of my site servers in the untrusted forests were giving
    the "operating system reported error 997: Overlapped I/O operation is in progress" on a number of their components. Finally found this, deleted the reg keys under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\Components\SMS_EXECUTIVE\Threads"
    and that allows SCCM to reinstall.

  • I cannot get my HP Officejet 6500A Plus 710N to print in color. I have reinstalled the drivers..

    I cannot get my HP Officejet 6500A Plus 710N to print in color. I have reinstalled the drivers.  It used to print in color and just stopped.  I think it may be a settings issue?  I have checked the ink levels and they are all fine. When I print a diagnostic report on print qualify, the black prints well, but there is no color printing.

    Okay, I had the same problem. It's most likely your printhead. All you have to due is clean it.
    Note: I was sceptical of this approach but can fully attest to it's sound results as it restored my printer back to full functionality. Prior to this the printer only would print Black ink.
    The print head is the carriage that holds all of your ink cartridges in the printer. On the 6500A it's super easy to remove. Opent your lid like your changing your ink cartridges. Remove all of your ink cartridges. Once they're out. There is a lever on the left side of the carrier that holdes your ink cartridges. Lift it up and the print head comes right out. Net take your print head to the sink and run it under hot water aiming towards the the four cirles were the ink flows into. Keep running it under the hot water until it is coming out clear. It's okay to run it under the bottom part too infact you'll need to inorder to get it completely rinsed out. Also don't touch the computer metal strips with your hand thought you can run water over them. Once your done rinsing use a blow dryer or a can of compressed air (thats what I did) to dry every thing out. I was able to get everything dry in about 5 minutes or so. Let it sit for a few minutes and check it again for water. I recommend moving it around to get full exposure to insure it is dry. Also if you use a hair dryer try to put it on a cold setting since there ar rubber grommets the surrount the inlet ink ports you wouldn't want to melt them with the hot air etc.. Like I said I used a can of compressed air.  It's important to use a quick method of drying as mentioned otherwise mineral particles could become deposited on the unit. This won't happen with the methods as I've described because the molecules won't be able to bond since your blowint them off. Oh yeah, you'll want to place a clean peice of paper down as your blowing because at first you'll end up with a few black jet marks as your blowing. Also don't wear your favorite white shirt lol. 
    Okay once it's dry replace the print head carriage back in push the lever down install the ink cartridges. Close the lid then unplug the printer. Wait 5 seconds plug it back in then it will reboot and start its set up procedure kind of like whet you first bought the printer except you won't have to change any of your network or setup setting since they are saved in memory. Also be patient about the set up procedure it seemed very slow for me. Once it finishes you will be prompted to run the printer alignment process. Run the alignment process and you should be all good. If not at least you gave it a shot. If this doesn't work your going to have to pay $60 for a new printer head. Which is not that big of a deal but hey if you can fix it for free why not. If you do decide to buy a new printer head you might find deals online or ebay just make sure it's an Genuine HP print head. And lol use the Genuine HP ink cartridges. Finally make sure you print at least on colored page per month to make sure the ink doesn't clog up in the future.
    Remember this suggestion is after you have run the HP clean ink cartridge procedure twice. Sometimes the clean procedure will correct the problem first. Also there is video I watched on YouTube about this just search for "Clean HP 6500 print head. Hope that helps
    Once it's all dry just reinstall the printer head carriage

  • SUP and WSUS on the same server.

    Hi,
    My SCCM environment as follows:
    Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard, Configuration Manager 2012 R2, SQL 2012 SP1 CU7
    WSUS 6.3.9600.163.84 . All these running on the same server.
    SCCM SUP role is enabled, WSUS using SQL Express database. This is Central and Primary site server as well.
    Issue is:
    1. SUP does not get updates. SUP is configured to get updates from Internet and WSUS console Sync options pointing to its own server name. I tried to change WSUS console sync option to internet couple of times but it looks WSUS changes this back.
    2. I want to use WSUS/SUP for SCCM Endpoint definitions update and also for patch installation for clients (Clients Windows update pointing to this server)

    What do you mean that this is a Central and Primary site server? Those two roles can not be installed on the same site server.
    When it comes to SUP in ConfigMgr, the installation process on WS 2012 is basically this:
    1. Install the Windows Server Update Services role, run the initial configuration wizard.
    2. Install a SUP site system role on the server and let ConfigMgr configure everything.
    Additionally I'd not run a SQL Express for the WSUS since you already have SQL installed. Instead I'd create the SUSDB on the same SQL server that you're running the ConfigMgr DB on.
    In my preprequisites installation tool, all you need to do is to open a PowerShell console, run the tool and click on the Install WSUS button, specify the SQL Server and the tool will automatically configure everything. When the tool has completed, you can
    go ahead and add the SUP from ConfigMgr and configure it from the ConfigMgr console.
    You'll find the tool here:

  • SUP role on Secondary Servers - Network Impact

    Hello All,
    we are planning to build the SCCM 2012 R2, we happens to have a depot for PC builds and this is remote site connected over WAN links. close to 50 to 100 machines are Imaged on daily basis, at present SCCM 2007 Secondary Server installed with PMP,
    no SUP. client may never talk to local SUP server again once they go out of this facility.
    I want to check is this good idea to install SUP role on SCCM 2012 SS with  PXE role.  does client download the SUP metadata again when clients scan against primary SUP server?
    any other suggestions welcome. Thanks for your time
    Sreedhar

    Anytime a client changes WSUS servers, there is a hit to ensure the catalogs are synched. This hit is generally fairly small though if the WSUS instances are in the same hierarchy. So, no the entire catalog does not get downloaded again, but it does need
    to be synched.
    Is it worth having a SUP at this remote site? That's really based on your expectations, how long its taking to download the catalog, and if your network team is screaming or not. For 50-100 clients, I would generally say no though.

  • How do I install all my old programs and data from an old system folder after I have reinstalled the same OSX system after a crash?

    The system is OSX10.5.8 Leopard on a 2009 imac. A new system was installed from the installation disks and the original system saved to a folder.
    I need to use my Adobe programs, rescue my email, i-tunes and iphoto data.  The disk utility indicates that my Time Machine back-up disk is damaged and I don't want to take a risk of having Time Machine erase my hard drive and try to reinstall the exact system existing at the time of the crash.  There was over 650 gb of stored files that I was copying and removing from the drive at the time it crashed. The total size of the original system file is still about 650 Gb.
    I would prefer to go back in Time Machine and only rescue the programs as most of the files have been copied to external hard drives, but I can't access the back-up hard drive from the new version of the Time Machine.  Or by I don't want the Time Mchine to start copying the new operating system which would include all the data in the old system file. Time Machine was working fine at the time of the crash.

    No, the disk was backed up with time machine a few hours prior to the crash.  I was unable to open the computer when I tried to restart it- got a grey screen with the spinning disk- after a few minutes the screen would go black and would reboot continuously, but not load any images or programs. I started the computer from the 10.5.4 installation disks and checked both the time machine external hard drive and the Imac internal drive with the disk utilities. Both showed as damaged --the internal drive and permissions were repaired, but the external drive (time machine back-up)  was damaged and not repairable by disk utilities. I don't believe that the external drive for Time Machine was connected to the computer at the time of the crash as I was copying files to a different hard drive drive. And I was not having any problems with the TM back-up drive prior to the crash.
    I accessed the Imac internal disk by firewire (as a target disk) and copied as many data files as I had room for on my external hard drives available.  And I deleted quite a few files from the imac internal drive (mostly just jpegs, duplicate tifs, etc--nothing that was used by i-photos, i-tunes or the Mail program).
    Then I installed a new OSX10.5.4 system from the installation disk and the old system was moved to a folder on the hard drive.  I previousy had had the option to reinstall the complete system from Time Machine when I connected that drive and booted with the installation disks with the C key depressed.  But it didn't seem like a good option because I was unsure of the condition of that external disk and whether it would be able to reinstall my data correctly, once it had erased my internal hard drive. 
    I'm considering buying some new external hard drives and backing up the present system to time Machine (so I'll still have my old data in the old system folder).  And then I would try using the old Time Machine back-up to try to reinstall the sytem previous to the crash.  That back-up would reinstall about 700gb of data and operating software and programs which sounds like a lengthy back-up.  Since I have never used Time Machine to do a full reinstallation (I've only used it for individual files), I'm reluctant to do anything rash.
    I'm a professional designer (with a deadline) but I can still use my Illustrator and Photoshop by opening them from the old system folder and saving the files to an external drive.  So it's not neccessary to do anything hasty except to delete some of the excess art and document files that were causing the computer to run slowly and the  Adobe programs to crash when I tried to save my work. I have quite a few books on tape in the i-tumes folder which is probably talking up tons of space but I don't where the i-tunes files live.
    Thanks for any help. Peggy

  • Why can't I use my Adobe ID if I have to reinstall the digital reader?

    I already have an Adobe ID.  I had to reinstall the Digital Reader and it will not authorize using my Adobe ID because it says another computor is already using that ID.  It is the same computor it is only that I had to reinstall the program.

    For me it's the same, I've just bought an iPad mini two weeks ago but I cannot log in with any Apple account in FaceTime.
    I enter my apple account in faceTime, then I press next the second screen and it shows "validating..." but it never gets validated.
    What's happening? This is really annoying

    I erased my macbook air because it was running really slow (it didn't resolve the problem). I reinstalled the disc that came with it (Mac OS X 10.6.8), but now iTunes cant find my iphone. I need to back up my data from my iphone 4s to my computer so I can transfer the info to my iphone 5. Can anyone help?

    Don't know if ubuntu had repartition everything but you could try pressing F11 repeatley after power on button is pressed.
