SC 2012 R2 - Operations Manager - All servers except Management server show Not Monitored

Hi all,
I have installed System Centre 2012 R2 - Operations Manager and configured on our Domain and running without a problem. I used the VHD available here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=40844
I have created a single VM called VM1 and installed Windows Server 2012 R2. VM1 has also been joined to our domain.
The management packs for Server 2012 R2 have been downloaded to the SC2012 OM.
I have discovered and added in VM1 server to the OM Server. I can see the agent running in VM1 (Microsoft Monitoring Agent) but it always shows as "Not monitored".
I have restarted both servers, found the guide regarding "Greyed out or Not monitored" but the steps outlined have not resolved the issue.
The account used in the test domain to install and run the service is a Domain Admin account. The test domain network also disabled the firewall on all member servers.
I have stopped all services on the OM server, renamed the "Health Service State" folder as suggested but nothing has resolved the issue.
Could anyone please help me? If more information is needed I would be happy to provide it.
Thanks in advance,
Graham

Thank you all. After coming into the office today I checked the event logs on VM1. All afternoon I had been getting 4 events every 15 minutes;
Three x 21023 - OpsMgr has no configuration for management group SCOM12 and is requesting new configuration from the Configuration Service
And one error, 20070 The OpsMgr Connector connected to SCOM12.test.local, but the connection was closed immediately after authentication occurred. The most likely cause of this error is that the agent is not authorized to communicate with the
server, or the server has not received configuration. Check the event log on the server for the presence of 20000 events, indicating that agents which are not approved are attempting to connect.
However at 00:04, I can see an event log 21019 - OpsMgr has returned to communicating with it's primary hostSCOM12.test.local and since then regular Health Service logs.
I checked in OM and now it is showing as Healthy and monitored - I guess this just needed a lot of time to configure itself? Is this normal behaviour?
I also checked VM1 TCP 5723 which it says was not open (the firewall is off on the server however it is working in OM.
PS C:\PSScripts> Test-Port -computer VM1 -port 5723 -tcp
Server : VM1
Port : 5723
TypePort : TCP
Open : False
Notes : Connection to Port Timed Out
Thanks again for your help. If it goes again I shall create a new post.

SCOM 2007 R2 Root Management server showing Not Monitored State in Ops Mgr Console

Hello Experts,
In my Prod SCOM 2007 R2 environment RMS server state is "Not Monitored", But we are receiving alerts with limitation. By mistakenly I put Maintenance Mode while rebooting RMS server due to slow performance of the server.
Can anybody help me to revert back to the RMS Health state ?

We can identify the Performance Signature Data Collection Rules in this example by executing the following SQL Query. This query should be executed in SQL Management Studio against the Operations Manager database.
-- Return all Performance Signature Collection Rules
Use OperationsManager
select
managementpack.mpname,
rules.rulename
from performancesignature with (nolock)
inner join rules with (nolock)
on rules.ruleid = performancesignature.learningruleid
inner join managementpack with(nolock)
on rules.managementpackid = managementpack.managementpackid
group by managementpack.mpname, rules.rulename
order by managementpack.mpname, rules.rulename
This query will return all Performance Signature Collection Rules and their respective Management Pack name. A column is returned for Management Pack name and Rule name.
The following Performance Monitor Counters on a Management Server will provide information concerning Database and Data Warehouse write action insertion batch size and time. If the batch size is growing larger, for example the default batch size is 5000 items,
this indicates either the Management Server is slow inserting the data to the Database or Data Warehouse, or is receiving a burst of Data Items from the Agents or Gateway Servers.
· OpsMgr DB Write Action Modules(*)\Avg. Batch Size
· OpsMgr DB Write Action Modules(*)\Avg. Processing Time
· OpsMgr DW Writer Module(*)\Avg. Batch Processing Time, ms
· OpsMgr DW Writer Module(*)\Avg. Batch Size
From the Database and Data Warehouse write action account Average Processing Time counter, we can understand how long it takes on average to write a batch of data to the Database and Data Warehouse. Depending upon the amount of time it takes to write a batch
of data to the Database, this may present an opportunity for tuning.

Access to all servers (except DC´s) without Domain Admins privilegies

Hi,
We would like to allow some functional accounts (ITS Accounts)can access to all company´s servers but without be domain admin and neither add them manually on local admin group in each server.
Could we do this using Group Policy management? or Active Directory delegation? (our AD is 2012).
Could anyone help me please?
Thanks and regards
Manuel Osorio

Hi Manuel,
>We would like to allow some functional accounts (ITS Accounts) can access to all company´s servers but without be domain admin and neither add them manually on local admin group in each server.
It depends on which kind of access you intend to achieve. If you just want these accounts to be able to log onto these servers, you can assign
log on locally or log on through terminal services user rights through group policy.
In addition, you may find some built-in groups like Backup Operators, Network Configuration Operators or Performance Log Users useful.

Cannot publish Flash Updates Verification of file signature failed for file SCUP 2011, SCCM 2012 R2 and WSUS all on same Windows Server 2012 machine

I am attempting to distribute Adobe Flash updates using SCUP 2011, SCCM 2012 R2, WSUS ver4 and Windows Server 2012. Everything installs without error. I have acquired a certificate for SCUP signing from the internal Enterprise CA. I have
verified the signing certificate has a 1024 bit key. I have imported the certificate into the server's Trusted Publishers and Trusted Root CA stores for the computer. When I attempt to publish a Flash update with Full content I receive the following
error:
2015-02-13 23:00:48.724 UTC Error Scup2011.21 Publisher.PublishPackage PublishPackage(): Operation Failed with Error: Verification of file signature failed for file:

I have redone the certificates three times with no luck. I can import metadata, but any attempt to download content results in the verification error.
TIA

Hi Joyce,
This is embarrassing, I used that very post as my guide when deploying my certificate templates, but failed to change the bit length to 2048. Thank you for being my second set of eyes.
I changed my certificate key bit length to 2048, deleted the old cert from all certificate stores, acquired the a new signing cert, verified the key length was 2048, exported the new cert to pfx and cer files, imported into my Trusted publishers
and Trusted Root Authorities stores, reconfigured SCUP to use the new pfx file, rebooted the server and attempted to re-publish the updates with the following results:
2015-02-16 13:35:44.006 UTC Error Scup2011.4 Publisher.PublishPackage PublishPackage(): Operation Failed with Error: Verification of file signature failed for file:
\\SCCM\UpdateServicesPackages\a2aa8ca4-3b96-4ad2-a508-67a6acbd78a4\3f82680a-9028-4048-ba53-85a4b4acfa12_1.cab.
Is there a chance this content was already created and signed with the old cert, so installing the new cert has no effect? In ConfigMgr software updates I see 4 Flash updates, all marked Metadata Only (because they were originally published as "Automatic."
No Flash updates in the ConfigMgr console are marked as downloaded. I can't find any documentation on how the process of using SCUP for downloading content for an update marked Metadata Only actually works.
Comments and suggestions welcome.

Assuming that I'm able to find a list of TCP connections on network, how do I know which of them are sqlserver?That isn't what I said. A "protocol" is a description of a methodology involving functionality and communication which solves a particular problem.
There is a "protocol" which describes how to find MS SQL Servers. You don't make it up yourself. You find the description, read what it says and implement it.Or more likely (like Oracle) there's no such security problem in MS SQL Server and instead it relies on the client knowing the connection details or it'll never find them.

Managing Computers with 10.5 Server, but NOT managing Local accounts?

I'll try my best to be clear here - I'm new to 10.5 Server and a functioning Open Directory environment! (formerly used 10.3 Server and never had the OD working).
Environment:
School (K-8), with old iMac G3's (10.3.9), eMacs (10.4.11) and a smattering of Mini's and iMacs (10.5.x).
Server:
10.5 Server, OpenDirectory and DNS appear to be working perfectly.
User Accounts:
Staff members have accounts for logging into sharepoints.
No one (yet!) has server based home directories except a couple for testing.
On each computer there is a "staff" account and a "student" account.
These are LOCAL accounts, and do NOT have same-named accounts on the Server.
I have bound client computers to the Server by OpenDirector
dsconfigldap -v -f -a servername.domain.org -n configname -u diradmin -p adminpass
Now comes the trouble;
I have added the computers to the Workgroup Manager computers list.
I have applied computer preference settings for the Energy Saver preferences ONLY. THey appear to have worked (managed computers slept/shut-down/started up according to the managed preference).
NOW comes the real problem;
The "staff" account on the managed computers is denying access to most applications on the computer!
Note: this "Staff" account is local ONLY, and is NOT a server-hosted account.
I have NOT tried to manage the computer preferences for applications on these computers.
I can resolve the problem by unbinding the computer from the OD Server - but I'd prefer not to do that. I just got them all bound! And, it screws up my migration plan TOWARDS server-hosted home directories.
I have tried managing application prefs for a COMPUTER, only to have both the STaff and Student account lose ALL of their local-only application managment settings (all of a sudden, Students can open terminal, grading programs, etc).
I am obviously missing something!
At this point, I'd like to back up... to NOT having my Server interfereing with the local accounts until I'm further along mapping out my migration from local-only accounts with file sharing access to Server hosted accounts and server managed preferences.
(I will also admit I'm a bit confused about when to manage USER preferences, vs when to use managed COMPUTER preferences.).
Tips appreciated!

Your last question - using managed user vs. computer preferences got my attention. Mostly, I use Group managed preferences. I do use computer preferences for a laptop cart, other than that I use group preferences. Perhaps your situation calls for managing users, but using group preferences allows me to change the settings for a bunch of people all at once rather than changing settings for each user.
In any event, check all the managed preferences for your computer level settings. And since you're using a 10.5 server, you have to check the settings for clients that are running 10.4 and earlier as well as the settings for 10.5 and later clients, as they are different.
At the user level, if you have an OD account and a local account with the same name, the local account will determine what the user can do - I honestly don't know if managed computer prefs will override local settings, but you should look into it. This could be your problem.
At the very least, you should avoid "testing" with systems that folks are using if you want to avoid the frustration that you are now encountering (speaking from experience i.e. similar mistakes, not preaching).

Advice on setting up a windows server 2012 domain LAB for study within Hyper V server 2012 r2 machine

HI im wanting to setup a study lab containing several windows 2012 r2 servers (mixture of core and full installs) to allow me to study towards my MCSA in server 2012 r2 and then for MCSE.
Physical equpiment,
1 pc   which is has window 8.1 pro installed from this machine. This machine i would like to remote manage and connect through to my Hyper-v server and then into any of the virtual machines. (this machine is more of a gaming pc so not
able to run to many vm's from it)
2 pc bought Just for study 8 core processor 1 tb of hhd space 16 gb of ram.
This machine i would like to setup using hyper-v server 2012 r2, which then i would create a test domain within it also with some clients allowing me to play and undstand the principles im learning.
now im getting conflictiong information regarding the Hyper-v server 2012.
If i set the hyper-v server up as a standalone in a work group. Would i be able to manage ther VM's within the hyperv server from my external windows 8 pro machine using the remote server management tools or would i need to connect that pc
to the domain.
Things I think i can do but not sure.   as im still learning
Could I setup a server 2012 r2 running AD dns and add the hyper-v role then wihtin that create the rest of the domain inside, allowing me from my other phyical machine log on to domain and manage all servers and machines.
Could I set up as i originally suggested, set up hyper-v 2012 server in a workgroup, then create the domain within the hyper-v server but still connect from my external pc to manage the hyper-v and all the internal VM's within the domain.
I could run a Domain controller on a VM from my other windows 8 machine (within hyper-v or wmware), then on the 2nd machine install the hyper-v server connect it to the domain running from the other machine from what i can see, many people say this is the
better option, BEST Practice, but this is only a lab and i dont require resilience. and i would prefer to have my  as a sever manager via the remote tools.
So what i like to know if you can point me in the right direction either by a guide for someone who has setup a similar to me.
or tell which of the above options is possible or not so i dont waste anytime.
Network, i know i can do this virtually but i already have cisco routers and layer 2 swicthes so i may make the network lab via them.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me

"If i set the hyper-v server up as a standalone in a work group. Would i be able to manage ther VM's within the hyperv server from my external windows 8 pro machine using the remote server management tools or would i need to
connect that pc to the domain."
It makes it easier to set up if everything is in the same domain, but it is quite possible to manage the VMs without being part of the domain. A very useful tool that I use for my lab all the time (my lab is in a lab domain and my laptop is in the
corporate domain with absolutely no trusts between them) is RDCMAN.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21101 I all my machines, physical and virtual, defined within RDCMAN and can easily connect to any one of them from my laptop. But to understand how to manage everything remotely, I create
one virtual workstation within the domain and load all the management tools on it. I RDP to the management workstation and perform most management functions, but I can get to any machine directly if I need to.
"Could I setup a server 2012 r2 running AD dns and add the hyper-v role then wihtin that create the rest of the domain inside, allowing me from my other phyical machine log on to domain and manage all servers and machines."
Yes, but you could also build the AD as a VM, too.

Manage DPM servers, running DPM jobs, etc from SCOM 2012 SP1

Hi,
Little background about our systems.
We have a dedicated SCOM 2012.
We have 22 DPM servers, DPM 2010 and DPM 2012 (we are upgrading to 2012 SP1, we have customers that still using Windows 2003 servers) to be managed by SCOM
We have a few DPM servers that are not located on the same domain as the SCOM server (untrusted domain).
Some problem we have
1. When we try to manage the DPM servers from the SCOM server.
From SCOM 2012 server I can “Manage DPM server” that are located in our domain but I cannot manage DPM servers located on untrusted domains (customer’s domains). I receive the below error message
"Unable to connect to <untrusted domain DPM SERVER> ID: 948
Verify that the DPM service is running on this computer"
I guess it’s because the account that I’m using to run SCOM server located in our domain and does not have the permission to open the DPM console on the untrusted domain. So I wonder if it is possible to use “RUN AS profiles/accounts”
to solve this issue, and how?
2. I have installed SCOM 2012 Operations Manager Console on my computer and then installed DPM Central Console.
When I select one dpm server (from my computer), that is on our domain, and then click “Manage DPM server” I got this error message
"Unable to connect to <our domain DPM SERVER> ID: 33333
1. Verify that the DPM service is running on this computer (YES)
2. Verify that the current user has been added to at least one of the roles in Operations Manager. (YES)
3. Open Operations Manage console and then try launching the DPM Console (THAT IS WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO)
4. If you have re-imported the management pack recently, the role configuration may be corrupt. Open the DPM-specific roles and check if the roles have task assigned to them. If not, delete the roles and recreate the...."
When I click on “Get more information” I get this error message.
"You don´t have access permission to connect to the System Center Data Access service on <SCOM SERVER>. Please check if it is a permission issue".....
Do you know why I cannot connect to any DPM server on our own domain?
Why do I get access permission error on my computer but not on the SCOM server (using the same account)?
What should we do to be able to connect to DPM servers that are on untrusted domain?
3. Is it possible to see Last Recovery Point date/time in SCOM alerts?
For me it is the first thing I look at. If it has failed 10 min ago it is not critical.
But if it is a date and time more than 1 day old, then it is critical.
I hope someone can help us with this

Hi,
To manager DPM, I think we may need to add the account to local admin group of the DPM server.
In addition, to connect to DPM the user needs permissions to DPM/SQL Server DPMDB.
For your DCs, have your enabled agent proxy option? If not, please enable that option for all DCs.
To monitor DPM with SCOM, please also go through the below links:

Team Foundation Server 2010 and System Center 2012 SP1 Operations Manager WorkItem Synchronization fail

Hello,
We are currently implementing a Devops solution with SCOM 2012 SP1 and TFS 2010 SP1 and we would like to synchronize APM alerts with TFS and the Operational Issue WorkItem. However we are not
able to sync anything.
Here is our environments :

This a French platform with a project based on the Process Template SCRUM 1.0 alone in a Team Project collection. The Operational Issue import completed successfully. It’s possible to manipulate
Operational Issue for all of its states from TFS.

We followed the documentation at :
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj883936.aspx
to configure SCOM Alert Attachment and Operation Manager Tfs Work Item Synchronization. Everything seems to be ok. All configurations succeed. We did not configure Intellitrace collector.
The problem occurs when we are trying to push an APM alert to TFS. When we assigned an alert to the Engineering nothing is synchronized in TFS. There is no error in the event viewer on the TFS
server. But, on the SCOM server we get 2 exceptions raised by Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Modules.Apm.TfsWISync.OMModules. We provide you the log of the SCOM Server in this mail.

Hi,
To monitor the complete TFS infrastructure, you need additional monitoring packs that alert you about a wide range of problems with TFS components. When you import the TFS Work Item Synchronization management pack, it is a best practice to
also import and configure these monitoring packs, you can double check these:

SCOM 2012 R2 Management Servers and SQL Server Availability Groups

My team is in the middle of rolling out a brand new install of System Center Operations Manager 2012 R2.
I have set up a SQL Server Availability group that is spread across multiple subnets and installed the initial management server per
here.
As I have gone through attaching new management servers, I have noticed disturbing behavior. When the AG fails over to another node, the management servers will lose connectivity unless I either recycle the service or it fails back to the original
node. This is not a security issue as I have set up permissions. It says it cannot connect to the database anymore at all.
Has anyone else seen this behavior? Is there a setting I am missing somewhere?
Thanks for your help.

Problem in the first run of "System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager – Evaluation (VHD)"

Hi All,
I need to evaluate the "System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager" so I downloaded the Evaluation VHD from this URL:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40844
I downloaded all the 13x ISO images and used the supplied SC2012_R2_SCOM_EVALVHD.exe to
rebuild the VHD file. I am using Windows Server 2012 Standard.
As indicated by the install instructions, I used “OM2012R2_VHDEval.docx"
to create the Virtual Machine to run Operations Manager. Problems:
1) when I first connected to the Virtual Machine just created in Hyper-V, there was a cmd window saying that was impossible to connect to the domain I provided. i think the domain was correct. Is this error a showstopper or the Operation Manager should be
able to run anyway?
2) To run Operation Manager on the Virtual Machine, the install guide says "On the desktop of the virtual machine, double-click the
Operations Manager Console folder. Operations Manager Console
folder provides access to different parts of Operations Manager. Double-click
Operations Console to open the Operations Manager console."
so I did click on the Operation Console icon but it says the file does not exist in the Virtual Machine. How is that possible if this is a prepackaged Virtual Machine ready to use for evaluation? I checked the pointed folder and actually inside "c:\Program
Files" there is no System Center folder at all..?
Any help would be much appreciated, I'm kind of lost at the moment and not sure how to get started with this (to me) new software.

Any help would be much appreciated, I'm kind of lost at the moment and not sure how to get started with this (to me) new software.

SCOM 2012 R2 installing on SQL 2012 SP1 - Error Code: 0x80131904, Exception.Message: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.

Hi,
I am getting an issue during a SCOM 2012 R2 installation while creating the SCOM DataWarehouse database. Setup seems to timeout during creating the datawarehouse database. I can see all database files created in windows explorer on the SQL server before
setup rolls the SCOM install back.
Has anyone seen this issue before or know how to help resolve it?
Appreciate your help, below is the SCOM installation log:
Thanks
Marc

Hi,
Based on the log, I recommend you use the following way to test SQL connectivity.
You can use a UDL file to test various connectivity scenarios, create a simple text file, rename the extension from TXT to UDL, fill out the necessary information on the connection tab then test the connection, and troubleshoot as necessary
if it fails to connect.
For more information, please review the link below:

Comcast is blocking all outgoing email SMTP servers except for Comcast's own server

Recently I have not been able to send any email from my Apple client on my iMac, MacBook, iPad or iPhones when connected to Comcast. I am using my iCloud account, my GMail account, and my Yahoo (SBCGlobal) account. I keep getting the error message that the SMTP Server cannot be reached. Again, this is only when I'm connected to Comcast. If I turn off my WiFi on my mobile devices, I can send just fine. I even connected to my Hotspot on my phone with my iMac and MacBook, and both of them send fine when NOT connected to Comcast. But if I connect to Comcast, I can no longer send email. I spent an hour on the phone with Apple, and they helped me determine that it is only when I'm connected to Comcast. I then spent over an hour-and-a-half on the phone with Comcast (first guy just hung up on my, the second woman transferred me to someone without telling me, the third guy transferred me to someone else, and the fourth guy said it was the mail client setup, and had nothing to do with Comcast. Comcast blocking all SMTP servers except for their own. I don't want all of my email going through their servers. Through general and advanced troubleshooting I have determined it is Comcast, or my Modem (which is a DocSys3.0 modem). But no one will help. Help!!!!!

It sounds like you may be trying to send over port 25. Have you tried port 587/STARTTLS, or 465/SSL?

User being removed from Domain Admins...how to find all servers his account is being used.

We have a user that is being removed from IT (more like being forcefully demoted) and our owner still finds him valuable in other departments. My challenge is to find all servers that he may be using his account locally on (as a service or added to a local
admin group). It hasn't happened yet, but we need to be prepared to say we know all the servers his account is on when the owner demotes him.
I'm hoping someone has an approach to this that doesn't include going through tons of Event Viewer Security logs. We do have System Center Configuration Manager and Operations Manager 2012 w/ SP1, but the guy that is responsible for those is the guy we are removing
and none of us are aware on how to use the possible tools that those have. If you feel that those would do the trick then please point me to a "how to" and I'll try to learn on the fly. Otherwise I'll take any other suggestions.

Hi Rick,
Based on my research, you can filter events logs based on user name and event ID:
