Management Point, System Center License required?

Hi
If I am setting up a Windows Server as an additional Management point and Distribution Point. Does it need a System Center server license?
/ALX

No. You only need a license for servers and workstations you want to manage (not the management servers)

However, MS licensing is a minefield and all organisations have different benefits. You need to contact your Microsoft License reseller for best information.

3.press 2 for xxxx
4. dial by name
5."0" for operator ( reception)
can you please clarify me, what type of license required for implement this solution? ( number of agent license, ivr port etc..)
Does ccx IVR included dial by extension as unity call handler?

System Center Licensing, SQL Server

We want to implement four System Center 2012 components (SCOM, SCDPM, SCCM, SCVMM). We have 4 SC Datacenter licenses. How do we license the 4 SQL servers we need for these components (as SQL license is included in the SC license)? Should I apply the same
license of SC to SQL during installation? Is it a valid option of licensing the SQL ?
What about the licensing of the operating system (Windows Server 2012 R2) where I am going to install SC components? Can it use the same SC license or does it need one on its own?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Megi Shyle

Hi Megi Shyle
System Center 2012 R2 includes a license for SQL Server Standard (if you need to run SQL Server Enterprise you will need to license this separately).
The Windows Server license is not included as part of the System Center 2012 R2 license.
You can find out more about licensing from:
http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/about-licensing/SystemCenter2012-R2.aspx#tab=2
You can also get more information from the
System Center 2012 R2 Licensing Guide and your Microsoft account contact or licensing contact can also provide answers that are specific to your situation.

Where are the hostnames stored in hyper-v manager (not System Center related) stored and can I updated them from the command line.

I have 20 or 30 Hyper-V hosts that I want to work with using windows 8.1 Hyper-V Manager (mmc) interface. Is there a way I can add the hosts into the interface with out doing the click, click, click . . . thing. I don't recognize anything in the Hyper-V
module that would let me enter hosts that would then just "show up" in the console. I expect I will need to do this with more than one workstation.
Thank you,
Stacey

You can create hosts with PowerShell. Search for "powershell new-vm"
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh848537.aspx
Once you have defined the VM you can add existing disks of you can move an already created VM to a machine and activate it.

Please clarify license about server managed and configuration manager client ML system center 2012

Could clarify why managed servers License required ,already we bought the configuration manager client ML License ? We are planing to buy system center operation manager 2012

Hello,
if you wants planing to Monitoring your AD with Exchange Server and you have only one physical Server with for example 2 CPUs and 2 VMs, you need to purchase the System Center Standard 2012 R2 SML for Monitoring your Server environement. However, if
your AD is a datacenter or for example 4 x Windows Server Standard with 8 VMs than, you need to purchase the System Center datacenter SML.
the System Center SML is licensed per physical Server: one license up to two physical CPUs. if you have for 2 physical Hosts with 2 CPUs each, you need to purchase two System Center licenses.
the only difference between Standard and datacenter is only about virtualization rights
for System Center Operation Manager for your Clients Desktop, you need to purchase the System Center Client Management Suite includes: Operation Manager; Services Manager; Data Protection Manager and Orchestrator.

System center 2012R2 licensing suggestion.

Hello,
I am reading about system center licensing but getting more and more confused, so any help is greatly appreciated.
I want to implement SCOM to monitor following servers:
win server (90% Virtual machines) - 80 (apprx)
unix /linux server (50% Virtual machines) - 25
6 Vmware ESX host (3 with 16 and 3 with 24 processor each)
Networking switches and firewall from Dell (looks like scom monitoring is free for them)
and SCCM 2012 R2 with FEP for apprx 1200 WIN 8 client machines
also maintain inventory + FEP for above win servers.
most of my servers have single core CPU, but some of have them 4 and 2-3 have 8 virtual cores.
Now that I understand no license is needed for actual products like SCCM and SCOM, how many and which user cal's do I need in all for my clients together?
My doubts are:
- Do I need standard or datacenter approach or can it be mix
- does the sml's or client machine license covers FEP or is it separate license
- If I manage a server with both SCCM and SCOM, then 1 need just 1 SMLs not 2.
- also are they just paper license or do I need to add them in the products.
Thanks in Advance

hello,
Sytem Center 2012/2012 R2 is not complexe to understand the licensing model.
for your Servers: you nedd System Center Standard for each physical Server with 2 CPUs to manage 2 VMs.
for example: if you have one Server with 4 CPUs and 6 VMs than you Need 3 System Center Standard or 1 System Center datacenter.
if you have one Server with 2 CPUs and 8 VMs than you Needs: 4 std or 1 datacenter.
2. for Clients: you Needs 1200 Systen Center Configuration Manager Client mangement License(CML) + 1200 System Center Endpoint Protection as a subscription in open value for example.
3. if you manage for example one Server with 2 CPUs and 2 VMs with SCCM and SCOM than you Need only 1 System Center Standard while the compenents of System Center 2012 are all included on the std or datacent suites. standalone compenents will no longer
be sold separately.
4. you Need to add System Center products on your Server products.
I hope that my Suggestion clear to understand it(my english is not very good!)
thanks

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.

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.

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.

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

Pagefile exclusion for VHDs is not functional System Center DPM 2012 R2

The Release Notes for Data Protection Manager in System Center 2012 R2 state that:
Pagefile exclusion for VHDs is not functional
Description: Pagefile exclusion for virtual hard disk files (VHDs) is not functional.
Workaround: None.
I feel silly asking this in the forums, but my mind just can't wrap around the fact that this feature (that was just recently added in DPM 2012 SP1) is broken in the new release of 2012 R2. Does anyone with actual knowledge of the product have any
additional info on this issue? Do we need to wait for a service pack to fix it or are there possibly ANY workarounds or situations where it might be used?
TIA

Hi,
This is a documentation error and will get it addressed. DPM 2012 R2 RTM does still support page file VHD exclusion same as DPM 2012 SP1.

MS System Center Operations Manager 2010 Download required for Upgrade from SCOM 2007 R2 (Select)

We need the download of SCOM 2012 without Service Pack1.
Upgrade from SCOM 2007 R2 (select license) fails while upgrade check with error: Logs shows "At least one of the following applications is installed on this computer. Due
to incompatibility with System Center 2012 - Operations Manager, these applications must be uninstalled."
Upgrade was started from dos elevated prompt with modified parameters like this:
setup.exe /silent /upgrade
/AcceptEndUserLicenseAgreement:1
/UseLocalSystemDASAccount
/DataReaderUser:<domain\user>
/DataReaderPassword:<password>
Research in internet and we found another person with same issue, which reports that direct upgrade from SCOM 2007 R2 to SCOM 2012 SP1 is not possible but if upgrade is done over
SCOM 2012 to SCOM 2012 SP1 it succeeds.
Unfortunately, we don't find any downloads for the first release of System Center 2012 e.g. Operations Manager.
Everything shows Service Pack 1 or the newer R2.
Who can help?

Our “Recommended” rolling upgrade path looks like the following:
SCOM 2007R2 CU4+ > SCOM 2012 RTM UR2+ >
SCOM 2012 SP1 UR4+ > SCOM 2012 R2

How to check System Center Service manager 2012 R2 license version

Hi,
I have installed Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 Service manager 3months before but do not have remember whether I put permanent license key or evaluation, can anyone please let me know how can I check whether this is evaluation or permanent license?
Warm Regards, Pramod Kumar Singh Manager-IT

Hi,
During setup of the retail edition of System Center 2012 – Service Manager, you have the option of performing the installation without a product key and instead installing Service Manager as an evaluation edition. The evaluation
edition times out 180 days after installation. If you start with an evaluation version of Service Manager and you rerun Setup and install the retail edition or select edition, and you decide to use the existing databases that you created originally,
your installation will time out after the original expiration date.
I summarize the following steps and hopefully it will help you.
You could find the install date on :HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\System Center\2010\Service Manager\Setup"
Try to change the system time from install date to install date + 180days.
If you can't open the console again, you are evaluation Edition.
Rerun Setup to install Retail Edition or Select Edition.
For more information, please review the links below:

System Center 2012 R2 Config Manager requirements

Looking to deploy System Center 2012 R2 and have been musing over system requirements. There was slight thud as my jaw hit the floor when I discovered a standalone primary environment (SQL installed on same server as Config Manager) required 32GB of memory!
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh846235.aspx
You would lucky if we had 200 clients. Am I really going to have to assign 32GB of my virtual hosts memory to the server?
I had earmarked 8GB, will this suffice? What is the minimum I can get away with??
Thanks in advance!
Steve

Thanks for the responses folks.
One other question. I am aware that there are co-existence limitations with some of the other Server components (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn281928.aspx) but
(bearing these in mind) can I install other components on my Configuration Manager Server? VMM for example.
If the answer is yes, I would assume I would need even more resources on the Server as well?
Regards,
Steve

New to System Manager - Advise needed on my requirements

Hi there!
I am very new to System Manager 2012, so I am seeking advise on how to best start my project. I read the initial part of the Getting Started guide ( http://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn235548.aspx ), but System Manager is a big product so I need
to double check the direction I should take, based on my design requirements.
So here is what I am trying to achieve in two bullet points:
- I got my own monitoring system application that I can query via an API. The API is REST based (i.e. HTTP GET/POST operations) and I already wrote a Python script to query my API so I can export data and alerts from it.
- I'd like to integrate the data/alerts coming from my own monitoring application into the Microsoft System center.
Questions:
1) in the first page of the Getting Started guide, I can see I am offered the option to download several evaluation virtual hard disks (e.g. App Controller, Operation Manager, Service Manager, Orchestrator, Virtual Machine Manager). Not sure which one I
should use for what I am trying to achieve?
2) depending on the component picked in point (1), what's the best documentation link to start studying how the Microsoft application works, and how to integrate the data coming from my API?
3) is my Python script fine to run on the Microsoft Virtual Machine, in order to query my API and pass the data to the System Manager 2012?
Thanks in advance for your help, and looking forward to actively join your community!
Wally

The system center suite contains several products.
For monitoring purposes you should look into the Operations Manager product.
Have a look here for details on OpsMgr:

These forums are specifically for Configuration Manager.
