Problem with Script Monitoring scom 2012 r2

Hello,
i have some problem. i create 2 state monitoring and it works fine but. mu task is to monitor any changes
i have xml file where is returned some values 
<Item>
<Name>#16</Name>
<Value>NA</Value>
</Item>
when everything is ok value is NA .but when not ok it write here count of problem per server  ex
<Item>
<Name>#16</Name>
<Value>server 1 230</Value>
</Item>
 and in alert it returns as server 1 230 errors.but in script may be that it will change on
<Item>
<Name>#16</Name>
<Value>server 1 230 | server 2 340</Value>
</Item>
but script couldn't get that this is new alert.  what can i do for this. i couldn't found  to resolve alert  after time automatically 

i have one problem now. 
when i run script (vbs) on witch is read from file it don't work 
this is code witch don't work
Dim oAPI, oBag,sComputerName
sComputerName = WScript.Arguments(0)
Set oAPI = CreateObject("MOM.ScriptAPI")
Set oBag = oAPI.CreatePropertyBag()
Set xmlDoc = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
xmlDoc.Async = "False"
xmlDoc.Load("http://" + sComputerName + "/metrics/info.xml")
strQuery = "/Info/Item/Value"
Set colNodes = xmlDoc.selectNodes( strQuery )
Set objNode = colNodes.Item(16)
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\SCOM\NetworkDevice\tms.txt", 1)
Do Until objFile.AtEndOfStream
strLine = objFile.ReadLine
Wscript.Echo strLine
Loop
objFile.Close
Set oAPI = CreateObject("MOM.ScriptAPI")
Set oBag = oAPI.CreatePropertyBag()
Call oBag.AddValue("ComputerName",sComputerName)
Call oBag.AddValue("Tvalue",objNode.text)
Call oBag.AddValue("Tvalue2",strLine)
oAPI.Return(oBag)
this is witch works fine

  • Premiere Pro CS4 - Problem with the monitor program.

    Hi. I'm not able solving problems with the monitor using PremiereProCS4. When I drag a photo (also only one photo) in the timeline and play it in the monitor program, vision in the monitor program doesn't run:black monitor or a little part of the photo appear... sometimes distort colours. Asus P5QPRO, Intel 9550 and Sparkle Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX+ 1024 DDR3; last gpu driver and directX are installed. Different configuration of stratch disks were tested. Where am I wrong?

    Dear Bill,
    thanks for your answer and your article. I tried with your NTSC 4:3 720x480 PAR 0.9 and, "magically", no more problem!!! I used the script pocedure in Photoshop CS4 to resize my images. Now, before starting my workflow and hoping not to overuse your patience, I would like to indicate you my equipment and my target: I use a Canon Eos 7D (generally for still images, 90% are vertical, and just some videos) and I use Premiere Pro CS4 to burn a dvd (normal, 4.7 Gb or double side, more than 8 Gb) with a 16.9 lcd tv (I'm Italian); my camera save as .jpg and .raw (but why use heavy .raw files if I've to redute to 720x480?!??).
    So, according to your "everyone wants the highest quality that they can obtain when doing theri videos..." and "your video project may vary, so you will need to plug in the dimensions for YOUR video project in that case", I've a question: which is the best for me?
    And then:
    1 - Premiere Pro CS4 havn't a batch or a script procedure for still image like PS (only for videos)!?!
    2 - Premiere does'nt allow you to import images like 4.181 Kb (a too large dimension file error appears)!
    3 - In the timeline of Premiere, after you dragged images, you can select them and right click to perform "resize to frame size": it seems to run good without problem, but what appen to the photo? Which is it's pixel?
    4 - In the general preferences of Premiere you can to optimize rendering for "memory" or not: which is the best for you?
    5 - I attached file with a screen of something strange in Premiere: dragging an image (the first of the project) in the timeline, the timeline appears distort (you can see the part in the yellow square): then, when I render the project and play in the monitor program, it becames normal.
    Thanks!

  • Problem with two monitors while using Photoshop, windows move from 2nd screen to 1st screen.

    Problem with two monitors while using Photoshop, windows move from 2nd screen to 1st screen.
    I saved a new workspace and it did not help.
    No problem before I went to Maverick.

    I found the fix, go to System Preferences and open Mission Control and uncheck the box to keep monitors as they were (When switching to an application...........)

  • Potential problem with my monitor, please help.

    Hello
    I recently upgraded my OSX to Mavericks and I've been having problems with my monitor, I've attached a screenshot of what is happening because I didn't know how to explain it and I'm unsure if its the OSX upgrade causing the issue or not, however I'm really worried about my monitor on my macbook pro.
    The model I have is the 15" mid 2010 2.4Ghz Intel core i5 with 4GB RAM.

    Still having this issue with my macbook pro monitor... There was no updates available and I followed every other possible solution, sometimes my monotor looks perfect like there was never any problem and other times my entire screen is just covered with this stuff you've seen in the above image.
    I really have no idea what the exact issue is and how to solve it.
    This macbook was given to me for university by the government as I have a form of dyslexia and because I've just finished my degree the insurance has ended... is there anyway I can still buy applecare insurance for my machine?! I got this MBP in 2010 so I've had it for three years now.
    I'm just worried that one day I'll turn on my machine and the monitor won't work whatsoever.. and I thought apple was suppossed to be good and last a long time.
    Hope somebody can help me further.
    Thanks.

  • Annoying problem with LCD monitor and noise!!

    I have MSI 6330 with 1.2 GHz Athlon (it has a built-in sound card), 384 RAM memory.
    I just bought a new Cornea 17" LCD monitor with built in speakers.
    When I connect the speakers to the sound card, there is an annoying static-like noise coming from the speakers, like an electric transformation sometimes causes. However, this sound is not "broadcasted" to the speakers, because even if I mute the speakers, the noise is still there, as long as there is a picture on the screen. When the monitor is turned off or shows black screen (such as during start up, or when in power-save mode) the noise disappear. The only way to eliminate this noise is buy reducing (almost to zero) the speakers volume, but then you can cannot hear anything at all, not even sound.
    I got a new sound card (I thought it was the sound card problem) - same thing. I connected the monitor to a different computer and the problem is gone, which means - it is something with the computer, mobo, different device....something, I don't know what.
    Any one have an idea what this could be?
    Thank you.

    Hi!
    It could be that you have some problem with the monitor.
    I have - so far - not encountered a monitor with built in speakers which gave acceptable sound anyway, the easiest solution might be that you will not use the speakers in the monitor (even the cheapest stand alone speakers will most likely produce better sound quality).

  • VariableScope problem with sequence containers (SSIS 2012)

    Hi,
    a co-worker of mine experienced a problem with variable scopes in SSIS 2012 when copying a sequence container.
    This is what he tried to do:
    Create a sequence container with a data flow task and a script component
    Add variable "a" with scope set to the sequence container
    Add "a" to ReadOnlyVariables in the script component and assign it to a variable within PreExecute() in the script
    Copy the sequence container (with DFT and SC)
    Rename (or remove and add new - doesn't matter) variable "b" with scope set to the new sequence container
    Change variable in ReadOnlyVariables of copied SC to "b", change it in the script as well
    Now when executing the package, one of the sequence containers will always fail. Interestingly enough, it is not always the same but switches seemingly randomly. It doesn't matter if the script is written in C# or VB.
    The following error is thrown:
    Exception from HRESULT: 0xC0010009
       at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper.IDTSVariables100.get_Item(Object Index)
       at SC_f8fa68ce667a42d2b4b154c26831db5f.Variables.get_VarForCopySeqC()
       at SC_f8fa68ce667a42d2b4b154c26831db5f.ScriptMain.PreExecute()
       at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.ScriptComponentHost.PreExecute()
    In this case, VarForCopySeqC is the variable used in the copied sequence container, but the failing one is the original sequence container.
    Does anyone have an idea how to resolve this? Thanks in advance for anyone helping us out here!
    Regards,
    Thorsten H.

    If the variable is scoped to the Sequence Container then you could leave it as is in the new Sequence Container too. Why rename it to "b" ?
    Granular scoping makes the package debugging and maintenance a lot more difficult because you have to bring the component in focus to see its scoped variables. It is easier to have package-scoped variables IMHO.

  • Having multiple problems with script - NTFS Permissions and AD Groups

    Hi, all!  I'm having multiple problems with my first script I've written with Powershell.  The script below does the following:
    1. Prompts the user for a corporate division under which a shared folder will be created, and adjusts variables accordingly.
    2. Prompts if the folder will be a global folder or an office/location-specific folder, and makes appropriate adjustments to variables.
    3.  If a global folder, prompts for the name.  If an office/location-specific folder, prompts for each component of the street address, city and state and an optional modifier.  I've prompted for this information in this way because the information
    is used differently later on in the script.
    4.  Verifies the entered information and requests confirmation to proceed.
    5.  Creates the folder.
    6.  Creates an AD OU and/or security group(s).
    7.  Applies appropriate security groups to the new folder and removes undesired permissions.

    Set-ACL ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) $FolderACL
    My problems right now are in the assignment/removal of security groups on the newly-created folder, and the problems are two-fold.  Yes, I am running this script as an Administrator.
    First, I am unable to remove the BUILTIN\Users group from the folder when this is an office/location-specific folder.  I've tried to remove the group in several different ways, and none are having any effect.  Oddly, if I type in the lines directly
    into Powershell, they work as expected.  I've tried the following methods:
    $FolderACL = get-acl ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName)
    $FolderACL.SetAccessRuleProtection($True,$True)
    $FolderACL.Access | where {$_.IdentityReference -eq "BUILTIN\Users"} | %{$FolderACL.RemoveAccessRuleAll($_)}
    Set-ACL ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) $FolderACL
    $FolderACL = get-acl ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName)
    $FolderACL.SetAccessRuleProtection($True,$True)
    $BIUsers = New-Object System.Security.Principal.NTAccount("BUILTIN\Users")
    $BIUsersSID = $BIUsers.Translate([System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier])
    $Ar = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($BIUsersSID.Value,"ReadAndExecute,AppendData,CreateFiles,Synchronize","ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
    $FolderACL.RemoveAccessRuleAll($Ar)
    Set-ACL ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) $FolderACL
    In the first case, the script goes through and has no apparent effect because afterwards, I do a get-acl and the BUILTIN\Users group is still there, although when looking through the GUI, inheritance appears to have been broken from the parent folder.
    In the second case, I get the following error message:
    Exception calling "RemoveAccessRuleAll" with "1" argument(s): "Some or all identity references could not be translated."
    At C:\Users\tesdallb\Documents\FileServerBuild.ps1:110 char:5
    +     $FolderACL.RemoveAccessRuleAll($Ar)
    +     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : IdentityNotMappedException
    This seems strange that the local server is unable to translate the SID of a BUILTIN account.  I've also tried explicitly putting in the BUILTIN\Users SID in place of the variable in the New-Object line, but that gives me the same error.  I've
    also tried the solutions given in this thread:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/ad59dc58-1360-4652-ae09-2cd4273cbd4f/remove-acl-issue?forum=winserverpowershell and at this URL:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff730951.aspx but these solutions also failed to have any effect.
    My second problem is when I try to apply the newly-created security groups, I also will get the "Some or all identity references could not be translated."  I thought I had found a workaround to the problem by adding the -PassThru option to
    the New-ADGroup commands, because it would output the SID of the group after creation, however a few lines later, the server is unable to translate the account to apply the security groups to the folder.
    My first Powershell script has been working well up to this point and now I seem to have hit a showstopper.  Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I was hoping to stay with strictly Powershell, but unless I can find a Powershell solution, I may resort to ICACLS.
    As for the problems with my groups not being translatable right after creating them, I think I have solved this problem by using the -Server parameter on all my New-ADGroup commands and this example code seems to have gotten around the translation problem,
    again utilizing the -Server parameter on the Get-ADGroup command:
    get-acl ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) | fl
    $FolderACL = get-acl ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName)
    # Add the new normal users group to the folder with Read and Execute permissions
    $GroupSID = Get-ADGroup -Identity $GroupName -Server chadc01.jacobsonco.com | Select-Object -ExpandProperty SID
    $SIDIdentity = New-Object System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier($GroupSID)
    $Ar = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($SIDIdentity,"ReadAndExecute","ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
    $FolderACL.AddAccessRule($Ar)
    # Add the management users group to the folder with Modify permissions
    $GroupMGMTSID = Get-ADGroup -Identity $GroupNameMGMT -Server chadc01.jacobsonco.com | Select-Object -ExpandProperty SID
    $SIDIdentity = New-Object System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier($GroupMGMTSID)
    $Ar = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($SIDIdentity, "Modify", "ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
    $FolderACL.AddAccessRule($Ar)
    Set-ACL ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) $FolderACL
    Going this route seems to ensure that the Domain Controller I'm creating my groups on is the same one that I'm querying for the group's SID to use in the FileSystemAccessRule.  It's been working fairly consistently.
    Still having issues with the translation of the BUILTIN\Users group, though. 

  • Problems with External Monitor In XP

    Ok, I've got a huge problem with XP on Bootcamp.
    I've recently got a Samsung TV which I can use as an external monitor. This works absolutely fine when I'm using OSX, recognizes the TV and can use it as a second screen.
    When I try to use the same monitor in Windows under Bootcamp, it works as an extension of my desktop, but not able to mirror my desktop. I want to do this so I can play my games on a large screen instead of a small one.
    I've trawled the forums on this kind of problem and found a few answers. However, many of them talk about the ATI graphics drivers. I've downloaded the appropriate drivers and the control center from the website, but to no avail.
    People have also said about going into display properties: settings: advanced and selecting the ATI tab. I have no ATI tab.
    Also with the Catalyst Control Center, when I try to run it, it tells me that I dont have permission to change the settings and to contact my administrator, even though I am the administrator.
    Does anyone have any ideas how I can solve this?
    By the way. I'm connecting the external monitor via the DVI on my Macbook Pro to the HDMI connection on the TV.
    Many thanks
    Chris

    My logic tells me, if you are using a new MBP the way it's designed is that even if you are plugged in at times it will go in battery mode for a few minutes in order to prevent battery damage, than it will recharge. This happens in the background without notice. However, within this couple of minutes you might notice your display screen to sleep because it is setup to sleep in 1 minute or less in the preference under battery mode. So within that window you might have your screen go blank since the entire process takes a lot more than a minute. I hope this helps.

    Since my update to Mavericks I´m having problems with X11. I have the version 2.7.5 of XQuartz installed currently.
    After some troubles, Inkscape opens up just fine.
    But I cannot drag Inkscape over to my external monitor, which is based to the right of my notebook.
    Inkscape simply disappears.
    I´m quite the DAU ;-) with Computers and Software, so it would be nice, if you can help me.
    Thanks a lot in advance!
    Best,
    Sonja

    How about trying a native Mac app like iDraw http://www.indeeo.com/idraw/

  • Problem with nx9420 Monitor

    I have a Compaq nx9420 laptop and on the screen appeared 3 colums of pixels which are "stuck" in the same color. I don`t think they are dead pixels because sometimes they work . What should i do ?

    I have the same problem with my external Acer monitor, starting today. Suddenly, when connected to my MacBook, the Acer monitor says "Input Not Supported". If the Acer monitor is not connected, it says, correctly, "signal not detected".
    When the external monitor is connected, my MacBook can see it, has a display preference for it, lets me change resolution, etc, but the Acer monitor simply says "Input Not Supported". This just started today, and I did the system upgrade yesterday. Is there a connection?
    I've tried the usual fiddling with connections, rebooting, everything.

  • An visual illustration of my problem with V4's "process 2012"

    Tonight's sunset taken with a Nikon D700 w/400mm f2.8 lens. Here is the same photo and its virtual copy with very little done to them yet except one is set to 2012 and the other set to 2010. both were left at Adobe Standard, then set to auto tone to get the fairest comparison possible:
    2012. Notice the thick yellow transition of mostly one color. While the background looks a little clearer, you must butcher it to death in order to smooth out that ugly band. 
    And I am pretty sure the shadow color is very slightly "off".  I realize that "off" is relative, but I would call this one "off" because it is the newer process. This 2012 color might actually look slightly better, but that's not the point --it should look identical to 2010 "as shot". But I can live with that --the big issue is what is causing the thick ugly band.
    2010:   Notice that the gradient from bright to dark is much smoother (and easier to work with). This is a much easier start point for developing.  I'd say 10 steps max would turn this into a decent image.  I have no idea if it could even be done in 2012.
    This is the core of my problem with 2012 --the contrast does not work evenly across all brightnesses.  They made some things look good at the great expense of others. You cannot adjust one brightness range of a photo without thoroughly trashing another. 
    2012 appears to work great on perfect auto-matrix-exposed photos of medium dynamic range.  Another kind of photo I take are action event photos in uneven arena lighting which are all deliberately underexposed because there is no second chance to capture a winning moment (a blown-out photo will not get used by an exhibitor -- this camera body is quite forgiving of underexposure). These are similarly difficult to work with in 2012 for the same reasons.
    How many types of different photos (e.g., action, portrait, landscape, various exposure extremes, etc)  was this alpha version tested on?  And who do they have evaluating these test results, software engineers or actual artists?
    One answer might be to just keep using 2010 --that is not the point I am trying to make.  That would mean this product is no longer improving for me, the user.
    Any constructive feedback, suggestions, links, history lessons, etc. would be very appreciated.

    Hi George,
    You're welcome. And, nice view from your backyard!
    Yeah, I think it's a common mistake to dive into the shadows or highlights slider before taking a good-enough whack at exposure. And, in my opinion, nothing wrong with doing that, as long as you remember that exposure is a very key adjustment in PV2012, and it should always be revisited before finalizing / fine tuning. It's always good to take a whack at contrast too before hitting highlights and shadows, but in my opinion, it is far less critical to overall tonability than exposure is. Once exposure is set correctly, you can fine tune contrast & highlights/shadows with relative impunity, but it does not work so well to try and set contrast/highlights/shadow and then fine tune exposure.
    Also, it's possible that exposure needs to be set higher on average than most newerbies realize, and if it's too bright knock it down with -highlights and -blacks. The opposite may also be true for some people, I don't know. But for me, in Lr3, I was very careful not to set exposure too high for fear of blowing out the highlights (and not being a big fan of Lr3 highlight recovery), *and* I was careful not to set brightness too high to keep from washing out the midtones. Which left fill-light, which I used to brighten, but Lr3 fill would often degrade quality if pushed too hard. So, I often lived with not optimally brightened photos, brightened here or there with a touch of tone curve (and/or locals).
    That same technique does not work so well in Lr4, since shadows slider may not have enough kick to it until exposure is boosted - one of the reasons people coming from Lr3 often complain about Lr4 shadows slider, before they've really learned how to set exposure.
    In Lr4, highlight recovery is sorta like an improved right-side version of Lr3 fill. i.e. one can "over-brighten", and rely on highlights slider to check it (analogous to "under-brightening" in Lr3 and using fill to compensate). -whites is more akin to Lr3 highlight recovery, only different...
    Another thing: I almost always start out editing with the exact same values for -highlights as +shadows. And only during fine tuning, maybe choose to diverge. It's surprising how often having those values equal and opposite can allow one to find the correct exposure, and only then, maybe, skew highlights/shadows, as a fine tuning thing.
    Also, for concert photos, or any other situation when there is a big lump of really dark tones that are important, and a small lump of really light tones that are important (e.g. concert lights), and a dearth of midtones, -whites and +blacks sliders can play bigger roles than -highlights and +shadows for "recovery & fill", than in other more "normal" photos.
    Lastly, my Lr4 tone curves, more often than not (and more often than in Lr3), have a debrightening shape to them, since sometimes it seems good to set exposure higher than I really want in order to achieve overall "tonability", then drop brightness strategically using the curve (and/or locals).
    I'm sure other people do things differently with equal success.
    PS - Where should I send the DNG? (you can contact me via PM or my website).
    Final thoughts:
    The "recipe" I've given here (-blacks, +whites, relatively high exposure & contrast, fairly strong -highlight = +shadows, a modicum of clarity) makes for a very punchy photo with highly detailed shadows, midtones, and highlights. I tend to like such a look on many photos - shooting landscapes and macros, etc... But it can be a bit too intense for portraits or if for whatever reason you prefer a more subtle "natural"/neutral look. One of the awesome things about PV2012 is that you can control the style of look you get. If you want the opposite, then do the opposite, e.g. easy on the -blacks or even use +blacks instead of +shadows, back off on the contrast and exposure so you need less -highlights, use whites = 0 or -whites. You can end up with a very old-school photo kinda look that way - more subtle and gentle, softer...
    Rule 5: Enjoy!
    Cheers,
    Rob

  • Problem with Script Events Manager buttons not showing up

    Hi,
    First off let me say that the latest release of Adobe products is a steaming pile of @#$#$.
    Countless software issues, it's slow, buggy, you name it.
    That being said, has anyone had this problem and know how to fix it.
    My Script Events Manager is broken. Yes broken. The only buttons I see are "Done" and "Remove". There is no "Add" button so that I can actually add events. Someone please tell me this is user error and that I don't need to reinstall PS.

    My system has 8 Gb of Ram and 4 processors. I doubt it's the system. I've had problems with CS Master Collection since day one. My main complaint is the ******* tabs and interface. Everything is so chunky. CS2 was smooth as butter. They keep making their products use more RAM and it's ridiculous. The tabs don't help, they only make life harder.
    Thanks for the suggestions, I was hoping not to have to reinstall PS, but looks like it's the only option.
