Install System Center on VMWare?

Is it possible to install System Center 2012 R2 components (VMM, Orchestrator, etc.) to individual VMWare guest OSE's?

Hi
I did it on VmWare Workstation so yes it is possible to install in VmWare.
If you want to build a lab environment with Hyper-V host in VmWare you'll need to added the following to the VMX file hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = "FALSE" and you'll have to enable Virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/RVI in Virtual Machine settings.
Kind regards
Hans

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?

Installed System Center Service Manager 2012 R2 and it crashes if I want to do any useful work with it.

Hi,
I installed SM Authoring Tool 2012 R2 on my laptop allong with Visual Studio Shell 2008 SP1.
After the installation, I tried using the Authoring Tool and when I try editing a class created by SM Authoring Tool 2012 RTS (e.g. the first version) it crashes -- or an entirely *new* class, the tool crashes and reboots itself.
Any idea how to even diagnose the problem, or what the cause is?

the first thing would be to turn on the output window in the authoring tool, and see if there is anything interesting or useful in there before your crash. with the tool open, go to View, Output window. this shows a running log of actions the authoring
tool takes inside visual studio shell and the responses.

Have you installed AppController on the same machine with VMM?

System Center 2012 R2 install: SQL server Data file and log file

This might be a dumb question, but I can't find the answer anywhere.
I'm installing a new instance of System Center 2012 R2 on a new server, I'm stuck on the SQL Server data file section. Everytime I put in a path, it says that tne path does not exist. I'm I supposed to be creating some sort of SQL Server
data file and log file before this installation, I didn't get this prompt when installing System Center 2012 SP1 or hen I upgraded from System Center 2012 SP1 to System Center 2012 R2
My SQL is on a different server
Thank you in advanced

Have you reviewed the setup.log?
On a side note, why would you put the database file on the same drive as the OS? That defeats the whole purpose of having a remote SQL Server. Why use a remote SQL Server in the first place.

It seems ConfigWsman failed .
I would suggest you to perform a check for SCVMM installation environment via running scvmm configuration analyzer:

I am trying to use system center to manage my Azure enviorment

I am freaking lost!!!!
I have a Widows Azure environment that i'm trying to manage using system center ( apparently this is the bee's knees cause every post is about it)
So I attempt to install Microsoft System Center and I got something now on a 2012 server called Virtual Machine manager... I am assuming this is not the product I need to manage my windows azure solution so now i'm back to square one. can someone please
help me with this???
what download do I need to install system center on a windows machine to get this working?!?!
Please help!!

hi,
It seems like the issue is not related to PAAS. I suggest you could refer to those tutorials
2012 configuration manager sp1 lab in the cloud and
how to monitor your windows azure application with system center 2012 and this blog(https://blogs.technet.com/b/keithmayer/archive/2013/04/01/build-your-private-cloud-in-a-month-new-article-series.aspx#.Ux1QJHnxsic
). You could down load System Center files form
this page.
By the way, I suggest you could post this issue on azure
VM forum for more details and better support.

System Center 2012 - 180 days expired

Hi,I have the following question.
I've installed System Center 2012 evaluation version and it will expire in 90 days.
If I would like to restart again the 180 days, can I uninstall System Center and install again the evaluation version on the server so that the 180 days count starts again?
Thanks
Anna

Hi
For SCOM it would not work, because the licensing data is stored in the database. If you would reinstall the Management Servers it would just pull the data out of the database and therefore it would be expired again.
As far I know the only way to get a Version longer than the eval period is adding a license key
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2699998/en-us .
Using the pre-configured VHD might be another Option

Virtualization service status - unknow system center 2008

hi .
i installed system center 2008 on a 2012 server ,
i created several machines on it and they are working fine ... the problem is i cannot do any action like clone or create check points or migrations from system center ..
beside every vm there is a message host is not responding and in the properties of the hyper v host error virtualization service status - unknow but all other options are checked ok
i ve 2 network cards on the host server one is used for the virtual machines and the other is for the local network
all machines are assigned to that virtual network card
please advice on solving this issue

Of the 18 or so machines, most have not been frequent repeat offenders (popping up only every few days) but there are a few that have been somewhat daily offenders. I have removed the client, rebooted, reinstalled the client manually on the heavy offenders
and this has not corrected the issue.
When I RDP to the machine and try to stop the System Center Management service it take awhile (30+ seconds) and then I get an error stating:
Windows could not stop the System Center Management service on local computer. Error 1053: the service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
The when I click OK the service is stopped and I then start it. If I stop it again it takes like 5 seconds and does not give any error.
From looking at the Operations Manager event viewer I have multiples of:
A scheduled discovery task was not started because the previous task for that discovery was still executing. Event ID 10000
The Windows Event Log Provider monitoring the Application Event Log is 1124 minutes behind in processing events.
This can occur when the provider is restarted after being offline for some time, or there are too many events to be handled by the workflow. Event ID 26017 (note on this one, this occurs right after the nightly reboot) --- I flushed the Health Service
State and Cache, still get the System Center Management service to stop responding within an hour and a heartbeat failure on SCOM.
No firewall.
AV (Symantec Endpoint Protection) is clear with the same setting as all the servers.
These servers that keep having the issues do have citrix loaded but again, nothing has changed on the client (servers) side from SCOM 2007 to SCOM 2012 and we never got these in 2007, just 2012.
As for the “ServicesPipeTimeout” I could not locate a key in the registry with that value.

System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection

I am trying to install System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection on my computer for Windows 8.1 and keep getting Error code:0x8004FF71. The license is
offered through our school. Not sure what to do so it will install.

Hi,
You need to use System Center Endpoint PRotection 2012 R2 as that it is the version that supports Windows 8.1.

System center sql 2012 remote or local install

Guys I'm testing System Center 2012 R2 right now I plan on installing configuration manager for starters. I would like to ask you guys did you install your sql server instance locally for System Center or do you have a remote SQL server installation that
System Center is using are there any pros for installing a local instance over a remote one? Also I was reading somewhere that Sytem Center comes with an SQL server license I always assumed that it would come with SQL Server express and not full blown
SQL Server. So with that said does System Center incluse a full blown SQL Server license?

Hi,
In test environment, typically SQL can be on local instance. However in production environment, you can place SQL on remote as when collocated the site server supports a maximum of 50,000 Clients, and if database server is installed on
a Remote server, the Site-Server supports up to 100,000 Clients.
In System Center 2012, along with any edition of Server Management License you get a run-time instance of SQL Server Standard edition when utilized for the SQL engine used by the System Center components.
For further information about SQL Requirements:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682077.aspx

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.

System Center Service Manager 2012 SP1 upgrade install error

I am trying to upgrade my SCSM 2012 front end app server to SP1 and am getting these failures in the log when it fails with the error "Service Manager is not in a valid state"
09:07:58:Could not find WCS portal web site in IIS metabase!

Can someone tell me how to get this rectified? The WCS portal is installed and running and has been for months. The DW is upgraded but I cannot get the SharePoint self service portal or the App server to upgrade due to this error.

Hello
One question you have the website installed on the same
server on which you have the Server Management
Server, so if you can
not make your upgrade to
SP1, this changed because
a prerequisite of System Center Service
Manager 2012 SP1 in which you can not have
the server Mangement and
website on the same server they have to be
separate.

VssNullProver stopped after installing Update Rollup 3 for System Center Data Protection Manager 2012 R2

I recently installed Update Rollup 3 for System Center Data Protection Manager 2012 R2.
As part of the update I updated all DPM Agents, including the ones on our Hyper-V Servers (which are part of a cluster). I also rebooted every DPM Protected Servers. After reboot all Hyper-V Servers raise a warning that the VssNullProvider service has stopped.
Backup seems to work properly. I can start the VssNullProvider service manually. But after the next backup the service it is stopped again. Exactly the same issue occurs on our test Hyper-V Cluster. All our Hyper-V Servers run Windows Server 2012 R2 and
we use System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2.
Something is not ok with Update Rollup 3. Any suggestions?
