  • Zenworks Desktop Management for Windows 7

    Hello,
    We are trying to figure out what is the solution for Windows 7. We are currently in a Novell environment (I believe Zenworks 7). Being unfamiliar with the Zenworks Desktop Management - can someone please explain the following to me:
    We are trying to find the application launcher answer to deploying on Windows 7. Whenever I run the ZfDAgent.msi (7 agent/Zenworks Desktop Management) on a Windows 7 (Enterprise) machine, it says the following:
    "The Remote Management Mirror Driver can only be installed on Windows 2000and Windows XP machines". Is there a new version of the Zenworks Desktop management software available/coming out for Windows 7?
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Windows 7 is not supported on Zenworks for Desktops 7. You will need
    to upgrade to Zeworks Configuration Management 10. I'm in the middle
    of doing this myself right now.
    Regards,
    Ken
    Thanks for the quick reply -- by chance have you ran across any white papers, webcasts, or documentation as to the desktop application features included with Zenworks Configuration Management 10? Such as how the application explorer/window are handled with this new version? I tried doing a search to no avail.
    Thanks for any suggestions!

  • Kerberos Configuration Manager for SQL Server: Access of system information failed!

    I'm trying to use the new Kerberos Configuration Manager for SQL Server tool that was released recently to verify SPN on several SQL Servers, but any time I attempt to connect to a server I get the following error in the log:

    2. Attempt to connect locally without inputting any information for server/user/pw
    3. Attempt to connect remotely using server/user/pw
    I always receive the same error message and log: Access of system information failed!
    Has anyone else run into this issue?

    Update to this:
    There were some invalid user accounts added to the Local Administrators group only showing up as a GUID. This caused the enumeration of the group to fail and generate the error in my original post. Removing those user accounts from the Administrators group
    got past the enumeration error.
    However, now when attempting to connect to the servers (locally or remotely) I get this error:

  • Why when I try to Build === Configuration Manager === Active solution platform === New does not open up a platform configuration window???

    I have read that in order to process my .xlsx file using Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 Connection String I need to create a "x86" Active Solution Platform.
    Welllll, when I <Right-Click> on my Solution in Microsoft Visual Studio, and <Click> on
    Configuration Manager and then <Click> the Active solution platform
    and choose <New...> absolutely nothing happens. How can I try and create a new
    Active solution platform if nothing happens and I don't get a dialog box or window?
    Am I doing something wrong here?
    Do I have a Setting that is incorrect?
    Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.
    ITBobbyP85

    Hi ITBobbyP85,
    After testing the issue in my SSIS project, I also couldn’t add a new Active solution platform in the SSIS project.
    As per my understanding, I think the Active solution platform doesn’t supported in Business Intelligence projects (SSAS, SSRS and SSIS). If the project is application project(C#, VB, etc.), by default, the target platform is x86. And we can also configure
    the project to target to a 64-bit platform. For more details about how to configure projects to target platforms, please see:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-IN/library/ms185328.aspx

    If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

  • [Forum FAQ] Configuration Manager Console shows nothing if you change SSRS to using SSL after Reporting Service Point is installed

    If the SSRS is changed to SSL mode and http binding is removed after Reporting Service Point is installed. The Configuration Manager Console shows nothing in Reporting Pane. After digging into this problem, the cause is that the SSRS information has not
    been updated in Configuration Manager Database. The following steps are taken for finding the root cause.
    1. After changing to SSL, the Reporting Service Point log shows the error as shown in Figure 1.
    The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found.
    (!) SRS not detected as running
    Failures reported during periodic health check by the SRS Server DB2.SCJIZHO.COM.
    Figure 1
    From the error, seems the cause was the Reporting Service Point detected a wrong port. We digged around in Registry and found the information is a Registry key named ReportServerUri at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\SRSRP. After changing the Report
    Server address to https. The error is gone as shown in Figure 2. But the issue remains, the Console still shows nothing. It is not a right direction.
    Figure 2
    2. Open the Console log file, it also shows some valuable information.
    instance of __ExtendedStatus
                    Operation = "ExecQuery";
                    ParameterInfo = "SELECT * FROM SMS_Site WHERE SiteCode = 'PRI'";
                    ProviderName = "WinMgmt";
    \r\n

    [52, PID:3136][05/11/2014 20:14:15] :[ReportProxy] - User-specified default Reporting Point [PRI.scjizho.com] could not be found, [DB2.scjizho.com] is now the default Reporting Point (Figure 3).
    Figure 3
    It seems the Console wants to access the old http site and it fails to get into the site for sure. Actually, the Site Configuration information is come from Site Control File and as we all know that ConfigMgr 2012 doesn’t store the Site Control file in the
    file system. However, it’s stored in the SQL database (as XML file). The XML file is stored in a view named vSMS_SC_SiteControlXML. This view is a read-only view. We cannot edit it directly. The related table stored the SSRS information for this view is SC_SysResUse_Property.
    Running the following query will list the SSRS address. We can see the address is still the old one. This is why the Console shows nothing.
    SELECT
    name,
    value2
    FROM dbo.SC_SysResUse_Property
    where name
    ='ReportServerUri'
    or name=
    'ReportManagerUri'
    Remarks:
    This article is just to let you know why the Console cannot show the Reports after changing to SSL mode. We do not intend to make you change the table in Database, if you want to change it, you will be at your own risk. The real solution to this situation
    is to reinstall your Reporting Service Point.

    Ok, but how do you solve this problem? Does uninstalling the RP and adding it back solve this problem?

    I managed to fix my issue by coping the Client, ClientUpgrade, and Scripts from the files from SCCM install discs folder SMSSETUP to c:\program files\Microsoft Configuration Manager folder.  I noticed that some of the files in the scripts
    folder was missing and I copied the other folders over because I felt that maybe my local copy of the Client installer where missing some key files as well.  Once I did that and disabled software update push, restarted the wsus computer, and re-enabled
    the software update push it was able to publish the client and start installing it that way.
    I thing the initial log messages where pointing me in the wrong direction for a few hours because I was thinking it was permissions as well and kept trying to figure that out but in the end I do not believe any of that was the reason I was receiving the
    same error as you where.

  • When converting over to HTTPS and PKI for clients, not all actions are available in configuration manager cpl

    I'm not exactly sure which forum heading this should go under so if this isn't correct please let me know or move it on my behalf.  
    So I am trying to setup Internet Based Client Management in SCCM 2012 R2 and have come across a few articles on how to do so.   I think I have mostly gotten it to work but I seem to be having a client issue when deploying new machines.  My already
    deployed servers seem to have picked up the PKI setting no problem.  In the past when I would deploy a new windows client everything would be fine.  When i converted over to PKI in my test environment I am now having issues when I go to deploy a
    new windows client. I don't get all of the Actions listed in the Configuration Manager control panel.  All I have are Discovery Data Collection, Machine Policy Retrieval and Eval, User Policy Retrieval and Eval, and Windows Installer Source list Update
    Cycles, before all of them would populate no problem.  I have let this machine sit here for several hours and nothing has changed yet.  It does say PKI for client certificate.  Sometimes when I would deploy new machines it would say NONE for
    Client certificate.  In my production environment it says self-signed.  I have found if i uninstall the client and re-install the client it does populate all of the cycles but I don't understand why it is not working on deployment.
    Ok so maybe not all the time that when i reinstall the client it fixes it.  I just did an uninstall and reinstall on a test client and all it has under actions are machine and user policy cycles.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Hi,
    I think SCCM client installed before the GPO applied, so you don't a certificate available when it is required.
    You can export and import the certificate by using MDT integration, try this blog for PKI part:
    How To: Build and Capture in Configuration Manager 2012 using HTTPS
    And in addition, you can upload the log to your onedrive so you can share with us.

  • Configuration Manager 2012 R2 - SRS Reporting Services not configuring Report Server

    Hi all,
    I am running stand-alone primary site and remote (shared) SQL 2012 SP1 on Windows 2012 R2 Standard. Remote SQL server is currently hosting multiple instances and Configuratoin Manager is running on a custom instance. SCOM databases also co-exist on the same
    SQL environment (different instance with SSRS installed & running perfectly).
    After setting up the Reporting Services role on Configuration Manager environment,  srsrpsetup.log & srsrpMSI.log states installation is successful. However, when monitoring srsrp.log file, we encounter the below message -
    SMS_EXECUTIVE started SMS_SRS_REPORTING_POINT as thread ID 5232 (0x1470).

    Steps taken so far -
    1. Switched reporting services to run from local system account to domain account. 
    2. Created new Report Server database on our instance and reconfigured Reporting Services to this DB.
    3. Un-installed and re-installed Reporting Services role in Configuration Manager
    4. Un-installed and re-installed SSRS on Configuration Manager (dedicated) SQL instance after removing Reporting Services role in CM12.
    I have referred couple of links on forum and none seem to help resolve this issue.
    Let me know if there is anything specific I missed out from my end. Appreciate any assistance.
    Regards,

    It seems that Reporting Services for SCOM and SCCM cannot co-exist on the same server (it sounds like a bad idea anyway)

  • Zenworks Linux Management Device Registration Issue

    All,
    Below is a detailed description of a resistration issue using Zenworks
    Linux Management 7.
    Hardware Configuration:
    1- DSL Modem (Westell Model 2200)
    1- DI 614+ 2.4 GHz Broadband Wireless Router (includes 4-5 ethernet
    ports) with a IP address of 192.168.0.1
    1- PC Server running Redhat SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 (has a static
    IP address of 192.168.0.103). This machine is running the Zenworks 7
    Linux Management Software and is able to sucessfully launch the Zenworks
    7 Control Panel.
    1- Redhat Linux Enterprise Server 3 on a completely different network
    with a static IP address (207.44.142.56). This machine is running the
    Zenworks Linux Management Agent install using the ./zlm-install -a
    command.
    Network Configuration:
    The broadband DSL modem is connected directly to the WAN ethernet port on
    the wireless router
    The primary PC server running Redhat SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 has a
    direct connection to one of the ethernet ports on the wireless broadboard
    router with a private static IP address of 192.168.0.103 and has a public
    IP of 70.22.107.168.
    The DSL modem is has a direct connection to the telephone line.
    The Redhat Linux Enterprise Server 3 is on a completely different network
    with a IP of 207.44.142.56.
    No firewalls are configured on the primary server and the wireless router
    Port Forwarders are configured on the broadband wireless router as
    follows:
    zlm1
    192.168.0.103
    TCP 80/80
    always
    zlm2
    192.168.0.103

    zlm8
    192.168.0.103
    TCP 10636/10636
    always
    Goal:
    To successfully register the Redhat Linux Enterprise 3 server (i.e. the
    managed device with IP 207.44.142.56) with the primary server
    (192.168.0.103 SUSE Redhat Enterprise Server 9 machine) so it can be
    viewed and managed from the Zenworks 7 Control panel.
    Nature of Problem:
    When attempting to register the managed device (207.44.142.56) with the
    primary server (192.168.0.103) which resides inside of my Wireless Local
    Area Network (WLAN) via the following command, it appears to fail. I'm
    unable to view or configure this managed device inside of the Zenworks 7
    Linux Management Control Panel. The following are 2 manual approaches
    that I take to register the managed device and the results for each.
    Register using private IP approach:

    duplicate question - can I gently mention a point? Whilst we naturally
    understand that you may need information/help in a hurry, asking the
    same question in multiple forums dilutes the answers you get, and makes
    more work for those of us who have to read them; it would help if you
    could avoid this in future.
    Many thanks

  • SSRS 2008 configuration Manager - "Invalid Class"

    Reporting Services Configuration Manager is throwing an error when I try to "Find" the server. The manager starts up and takes me to the "Reporting Services Configuration Connection" window. I click on the "Find" button (leaving the default comptuer name as-is; the local machine)  and get the error message "Invalid Class" with the title "Reporting Services Configuration Manager".
    I've been searching around the interner and only found one forum post with a similar problem to my own. It was on this forum and the advice seemed to be pointing towards a problem with WMI, but it seemed that the user never found a solution. I've downloaded and ran the WMI diagnostics program and the log does contain quite a few warnings, but I don't know how to go about solving most of them. I did run regsvr32 on some dll files though :)
    I won't post any logs yet, as I have no idea where the problem may be based. Please advise and I will post the required information.

    Hi SiM99,
    The issue shoule be caused by the case onpnt mentioned and you are trying to use Reporting Services Configuration Manager 2008 to connect to Reporting Services 2005. From your post, I am sure you never install SQL Server 2005 in the server. But, sometimes, SQL Server Express 2005 may be installed with other program. So, I would suggest you checking if SQL Server Expree 2005 is installed in the server using Services control(by running command services.msc). If SQL Server Express 2005 is installed, please uninstall it.
    The issue should be caused by the uncompleted installation too. There may be a error during the installation.
    Could you please check if there is any error in the installation error message?
    By default, we can get the installation logs from:
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\Log\Summary.txt
    By the way, could you please follow these steps to check if the Reporting Services WMI provider is installed correctly?
    1. Run command wbemtest
    2. Click "Connect"and connect to “ROOT\Microsoft\SqlServer\ReportServer”(type this path in the Namespace textbox)
    3. After connecting to the name space, click "Query" to query “SELECT * from __namespace”. There would be one data in the record window(while the server only have one RS instance).
    4. Double-click the record, in the new properties windows, get the path value such as “\\<server>\ROOT\Microsoft\SqlServer\ReportServer:__NAMESPACE.Name="RS_MSSQLSERVER" ”
    5. Now, close all sub dialogs, and then re-connect to “ROOT\Microsoft\SqlServer\ReportServer\RS_MSSQLSERVER”. "RS_MSSQLSERVER"  is the Namespace.Name in step4
    6. Query “SELECT * from __namespace” again.
    7. Repeat step4,5, we will get the new path “ROOT\Microsoft\SqlServer\ReportServer\RS_MSSQLSERVER\v10”
    8. Repeat step2 to 7 until there is no record in the Query result dialog. Finally, the path is \\server\ROOT\Microsoft\SqlServer\ReportServer\RS_MSSQLSERVER\v10\admin
    If we can't get the final path \\server\ROOT\Microsoft\SqlServer\ReportServer\RS_MSSQLSERVER\v10\admin, it means the Reporting Services WMI provider is not installed correctly.
    Please try using the following method to solve it:
    1.Execute the Command windows.
    2.Go to the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer\bin
    3.Run the command: MOFCOMP reportingservices.mof
    Please feel free to ask, if you have any more questions.
    Thanks,

  • Exception with the Configuration Manager

    Hi All,
    I need to access the Configuration Manager in my J2EE application on NetWeaver 7.0.
    I follow the guidelines on http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/0d/7fcb4974874767be388007bf9e5c2a/content.htm
    In the application-j2ee-engine.xml file, I add:
    <reference
       reference-type="hard">
       <reference-target
          provider-name="sap.com"
          target-type="service">configuration</reference-target>
    </reference>
    And my Java code is as follows:
    Context ctx = new InitialContext();
    ApplicationConfigHandlerFactory appCfgHdlFctry = (ApplicationConfigHandlerFactory)ctx.lookup("ApplicationConfiguration");
    ApplicationConfigurationHandler cfgHandler = appCfgHdlFctry.getApplicationConfigurationHandler();
    But, at the call appCfgHdlFctry.getApplicationConfigurationHandler() I get an Java exception:
    java.rmi.RemoteException: You are trying to get-application-information of an application with name null, which is not legal
    Could you tell me what cause that issue?
    Thanks,

  • 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.

    Issue 2: I'm trying to deploy a couple of Packages/Applications using SCCM 2012 R2 running on Win2K8 R2 with no luck, knowing that I could install the packages
    on a test VM “in the DataCenter site”, but when trying to deploy the packages to production PC “in the Office Site”,
     the status is packages deployment compliance stuck at 0%
    Infrastructure:
    3 SCCM servers: CAS, PRI & SEC. Both CAS and PRI are in the DataCenter site, and SEC is in the Office site. The office site has several IP subnets.
    Boundaries are configured through Forest Discovery “IP Ranges and AD Sites” since that the AD site should contain all the IP subnets that the AD site contains, Boundaries groups are also configured and a site reference
    server is configured for each group respectively.
    A OU based Collection has been configured that contains 13 PC "the collection contains the PCs that the packages should be installed.
    Packages/Applications are configured correctly since that I could successfully deploy the packages to the test VM which is on the same subnet as the CAS and the PRI servers "the DataCenter subnet". The issue
    is that I can't deploy the packages to production PCs in the Office subnet!
    Firewall rules are configured and applied via GP, and I even turned Windows Firewall off, and still nothing! I tried to manually initiate Computer Policy download via the SCCM GUI and via a script, still no luck!
    I tried configuring IP Subnet Boundaries, still no luck!!
