SCCM and SCOM 2012 R2 Databases on one box

Our current situation is: About 150 Servers(VMware) and 600 windows 7 clients.
SCCM 2007 and SQL 2008 on one box, and for SCOM 2007 we have a dedicated SQL2005 VM. All of them on W2K3R2 OS.
Because of end of support for W2K3, we are not going to upgrade the servers.
New situation is SCCM and SCOM 2012 R2 with SQL 2014 on W2k12R2. I'm considering to install one SQL 2014 server only for SCOM and SCCM. Would performance be an issue??
I've read http://www.hasmug.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/07-201210-Oct-SQL-Server-Optimization-and-Best-Practices-for-System-Center-Administrators-Kevin-Holman.pdf
and other articles, but couldn't find info about the pro and cons having both SCOM and SCCM DB's on one SQL 2014 server
Thanx

What is Licensing Method for SCCM and SCOM 2012

What is Licensing Method for SCCM and SCOM 2012
We have 75000 clients, so we going to implement SCCM and SCOM 2012 environment in azure. Actually we plan to go for One Central Administration site and three primary sites (to manage this clients), going to host in Azure. I need to know how the licensing
process work for this environment, how many licenses we need to get for this? is charging for Client based, Site based or environment based? Please update.
Thank you

Hi,
Running the SCCM and SCOM servers themselves in Azure to manage clients outside azure is not really supported if I remember correctly..
http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2013/10/23/configmgr-and-endpoint-protection-support-for-windows-azure-vms.aspx
Licensing is explained here.
http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/about-licensing/SystemCenter2012-R2.aspx
In short for Client OS you need a cal per client, included in Core CAL and Enterprise CAL.
For servers it is licensed per CPU and can be licensed for all virtual servers on a host as well, included in the guide above.
ps. side note a CAS is not really necessary in most case if you don't have more than 100'000 clients, it adds a lot of complexity and I would avoid it if I could.

Scom 2007 and scom 2012 agent multi home

is there version limit for the agent multihom for scom 2007 and scom 2012?
In technet i found it for SCOM upgrade it mentioned need scom 2007 CU4 and above, how about for multihome approach for SCOM agent?
Besides that, instead of agent upgrade, could we perform agent uninstallation scom 2007 and reinstall scom 2012?
Thanks for your advice.

Hi Cylim,
You can upgrade your agents to SCOM 2012 only from SCOM 2007 R2 CU4. Please look at these helpful links:

As Scott mentioned, you can uninstall SCOM 2007 agent and install SCOM 2012 agent on one or a few servers, and see if they report properly to both management groups SCOM 2007 and SCOM 2012:

I would like to know the differences for gateway server setup in Scom 2007 and 2012 versions..
Are there any changes in the data collection or in the configuration? and also the prerequisites for it.
Please let me know these info..

There is no great different in settng up gateway server in SCOM 2007 R2 and SCOM 2012. As summary, it requires
1.Request certificates.
2. Import those certificates into the target computers by using the MOMCertImport.exe tool.
3. Distribute the Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.GatewayApprovalTool.exe to the management server.
4. Run the Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.GatewayApprovalTool.exe tool to initiate communication between the management server and the gateway
5. Install the gateway server.
However, the prerequisites has different between SCOM 2007 R2 and SCOM 2012

SCOM 2012 R2 database in-place upgrade SQL 2008 R2 to SQL 2012

Hello,
I intend to upgrade my SCOM SQL 2008 R2 environment to SQL 2012. I have (of course) an OPS, DWH and Reporting Services instances/databases.
When I run the Update Advisor I run in to several issues.
Has someone had experience with an in-place SQL update?
Help would be appreciated.

HP Laptops and SCOM 2012

Hi,
I wanted to see if there is anyway to push out HP updates to HP workstations(laptops) using SCOM 2012?
Trying to avoid going workstation, through workstation and install updates manually.
Any ideas?

As everyone has said you are talking about SCCM (or ConfigMgr as it is affectionately known). You've been given a couple of links above but these will only get you started. They will show you how to set up a solution for deploying Microsoft updates. I have
one myself
http://www.gerryhampsoncm.blogspot.ie/2013/04/sccm-2012-sp1-step-by-step-guide-part.html
However that is very different from deploying HP updates, which is your requirement. For this you will also need HP System Software Manager (SSM) and System Center Updates Publisher (SCUP).
You will get good information as follows:
http://www.gerryhampsoncm.blogspot.ie/2013/04/sccm-2012-sp1-step-by-step-guide-part_27.html
(this shows how to deploy SCUP)
HP Client Catalog for Microsoft System Center Products - Technical White Paper
(this is for SCCM 2007 but the idea is the same)
Good blog describing the process

Exchange 2013 SP1 and SCOM 2012 R2

Hi there,
Hopefully someone can assist me with this issue, if it is one...
I am halfway through an Exchange migration, from Exchange 2010 SP3 on Server 2008 R2 to Exchange 2013 SP1 on Server 2012 R2.
76 users in total, roughly 80GB of Public Folders.
I have configured the 2013 environment with a cross datacenter DAG, also increased all of the timeouts of the cluster to take this into consideration, and everything appears to function as expected.
Added both 2013 machines to SCOM 2012 R2 for at least a week with no active users on it, and all monitoring reported ok, no issues.
Exchange 2010 is configured to use webmail.company.com for RPC over HTTP, which is what I have configured 2013 to use as well.
Implemented Microsoft ARR for client access to Exchange 2013, as opposed to ISA we've used for Exchange 2010.
A week ago, changed the DNS records for webmail.company.com from ISA to ARR, and all clients connected perfect.
Thought, ok, now we can start the migration. So far everything "seems" to be going perfect with the mailbox moves, however, SCOM is really noisy.
Attempted to reran the probe for EWS and got the error below:
Is there perhaps anyone that can assist me with these errors?
Cheers

FYI... IIS ARR is not supported for Exchange Server.
Check in event log if you are getting anything related to the issue.
About Outlook POP UP to end users. Check the event log on 2010/2013 for MRS events.
Are those mailboxes still moving or in move request?

VVM Connection to SCCM and SCOM

Hi,
i was wondering how do i connect Virtual Machine Manager to Configuration Manager. do i need to have operations manager installed and up and running? or can i connect it to SCCM directly as it is being the main component.
From my understanding of the VMM is that it is used for provisioning and controlling of Hyper visors (cytrix, Vmeare, etc.).
why do i need to go through the Operation Manger? why can i not connect directly to SCCM?
whats the Advantages of using operations manager instead of using CM?
Thanks.

Hello There,
I do believe you need to understand better why you need SCCM, SCVMM and SCOM first.
System Center 2012 is a series of Software:
SCVMM will work integrated with Hyper-V Computers to enhance its functionalities, to deploy VM templates and facilitate your work with the Virtual environment.
SCCM will manage applications, packages, software updates, generate reports, compliance, deploy operating systems etc.
SCOM is the framework to monitor your environment, it uses Management packs to monitor health state for servers, network interfaces and much more in your environment.
I'm not sure if the answer I've given may help.
Let me know if this is the question you have.
Thank you very much!

SCVMM and SCOM 2012 Integration Issues

Hello, I have integrated SCOM 2012 RTM and SCVMM 2012 RTM and am having lots of issues that were not present with 2007/2008 family integration. For starters, my SCOM environment manages multiple untrusted domains, etc. When enabling VMM integration
I now get hundreds of alerts about "Unable to verify Run As Account", stating that is cannot login as the VMM service account for all clients that don't live in same domain as SCVMM server. For starters why do my physical servers, and all VMs need
to be distributed with this account? The alert is also expected logically, because this is impossible to distribute a Run As account to every agent in a multi-domain untrusted environment. Also according to this configuration, the Virtual
Machine Manager Connection Account created in SCOM is set to less secure (distributed to all agents), which is why the alert is coming up; additionally less secure setting is typically bad practice. Why does SCVMM do this by default? Can it be
changed? What are options here? It seems to me only the SCOM management server should need this Run As account, not every agent? Thoughts on this? Thanks!

I'm running SCVMM 2012 R2 and OpsMgr 2012 R2. I have the integration setup and have had the same issue with the RunAs account logging on to workgroup computers.
I tried changing the account distribution to More secure and only targeting my two management servers and the VMM server. I also changed the profile so that it targeted only the Windows Computer object for the same three servers. I came in this
morning and I do not have the "Run As Account Could Not Log On" message anymore on the workgroup computer, but now I have an alert "VMM Agent Not Monitored By Operations Manager" for the VMM server. I look at the Health Explorer and see that the agent
is reachable but its not being monitored.
I tried changing the RunAs profile back to "All Targeted Objects" but monitoring still didn't restart. Then I tried restarting the OpsMgr agent and then the VMM agent, but still the status did not change. Now, I have just set the account back
to Less secure and have again received the warning from the workgroup computer about not being able to log on. I'll wait a little longer to see if the VMM server begins to be managed.
Any experience with this?

TNS:cannot allocate memory - is there limit to the num databases on one box

Hi,
Server Spec:
Windows 2008 R2 x64 with all updates applied
Oracle 11.2.0.1 Standard Edition with Patch 16 applied (which matches all of the live databases version)
10GB RAM
I have a standby server which has all my standby databases on it
I have recently added about 8 new standby databases taking it to 102 and since then I keep getting an intermittent TNS error; TNS-12531: TNS:cannot allocate memory
I have scripts that loop through all the databases one at a time, they start the standby database, apply new archived redo logs and shut the database down
This has worked perfectly for years but I started getting the issues after added a few more databases, it probably failes 1 in 3 times so it is not consistent.
With all of the databases just idling the server is using 6GB out of the 10GB available RAM so there is plenty of free memory
If I remove half a dozen databases from the scripts it starts to work again.
I created 2 new listeners and split the databases so half run on one listener and half on the other, it still has intermittent failures
Server has been restarted many times and sometimes will run through a couple of times before failing and sometimes will fail on the first run through
Failures are normally towards the end of the script, ie. has applied the logs to 95 databases and fails on the 96th!
I've reorded the databases in the script and it always fails towards the end, not on a specific database
I have also added restarts to the listeners during the scripts which made no difference
I have now ammended my scripts so the actual windows service is not running for any database and the script does a net start before applying the logs and a net stop afterwards. It now runs through without a problem but I would like to get to the bottom of the issue and keep the windows services running as starting and stopping them adds time to the job of apply the logs across all the databases
Thanks
Robert

TNS-12531 On Windows 64-bit [ID 1384337.1:}You need to check the third value for the registry entry \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\SubSystems\:
Eg: SharedSection=1024,20480,1024
The third argument is the maximum amount of heap memory allocated to non interactive desktops. Increase this third value and check when the TNS error disappears. There is no optimum value, it depends from one system to > another.
Restart of System may be required for changes to take effect

Will SCOM 2012 R2 co-exist with SCCM 2012 SP1

Hi. Sorry if the answer is obvious, but I need to ask...
Will SCOM 2012 R2 coexist with SCCM 2012 SP1?
We currently have SCOM 2007 R2 installed and we'd like to upgrade.
We installed SCCM 2012 close to 2 years ago and upgraded to SP1 last summer.
We had SCOM 2007 R2 integrated with SCVMM 2008 R2, but have upgraded to SCVMM 2012 SP1 recently - so there is nothing setup between SCOM and SCVMM.
There is currently nothing setup between SCOM and SCCM.
We're a single forest, single domain shop. Ideally, we'd like or System Center products to "work together", thus the question about the 2012 SP1 and R2 mix.
Thanks for any input. I appreciate your time and expertize. Joe.

Hi,
I concur with Alexey, a side note SCCM and SCOM do not use the same SQL Server.

SCCM 2012 integration with SCOM 2012 - Disable Alerts during patching

Have SCCM 2012 R2 and SCOM 2012 R2 and use the Software Update Patching process for servers. When using the checkbox to "Disable Operations Manager Alerts when this program runs" option have noticed on completion of the job and the target
server is rebooted, a scheduled task appears for a short time titled "SCOM 2007 Agent Resume Task". The task disappears and there is no history to view.
Is this a legacy naming convention from 2007 world when the maintenance mode is turned off from the SCCM patching process?
How do I see the actual code behind the SCCM and SCOM integration with Maintenance mode to validate it.

SCCM should use the following SCOM SDK to do that.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb437532.aspx
That's incorrect. There is no API or method to put an OpsMgr agent into maintenance mode on the client itself -- maintenance mode is a centrally controlled feature of OpsMgr. The API/code sample you linked is performing that activity on the management server
which assumes you know the management server name and have permissions to carry out the action -- neither of which is fulfilled by the ConfigMgr agent.
The ConfigMgr agent pauses the OpsMgr client agent service and also unloads the workflows from the OpsMgr agent (it only did the first part in ConfigMgr 2007). This effectively puts the agent in Maintenance Mode (although to my knowledge this is not directly
reflected in the OpsMgr console).

SSRS for SCOM 2012 need separate instance of SQL

Hi All,
My customer has planned to install SCOM 2012 R2 in their environment. I designed for them as followings:
Planned 3 MS servers namely, MS1, MS2 & MS3
The rolls planned on those MS servers as follows:
MS1 – Management Server,
Operation console & Web console
MS2 – Management Server,
Operation console & Web console
MS3 – Management Server,
ACS, SQL Reporting services & SCOM Reporting server
Customer has their existing SQL cluster database configured. This existing SQL database is also utilized by other applications.
I am planning to keep all the SCOM databases (Operation Manager DB, Operation DW DB, Reporting DB & ACS DB) on the central location on SAN storage of the SQL cluster.
For this, I requested to customer for a new instance of SQL to install SCOM DBs & SQL Server Reporting services.
Customer raised a concern on Why would need to install the databases & SQL Server Reporting services on a separate instance.
I replied as, The new instance requested will host the databases along with the SQL Server reporting services (SSRS).
The installation of SQL server report server will integrate the security of selected SSRS instance with Operation Manager role based security. Any reports that were previously installed on this
SQL server instance might become inaccessible. No other applications that are using SQL Server Reporting Services can be installed on this instance of SQL Server.
On this, Customer says if SSRS is planning to install on the MS3 server then there would not need to create a separate instance on SQL cluster. We can go with the existing instance for installation
of SCOM databases on SQL cluster and SSRS on MS3 server.
I need your inputs on this, as can I still require the new instance of SQL on SQL cluster or can go with the existing instance for installation of SCOM databases on SQL cluster and SSRS on MS3 server.
Kindly provide your inputs.
Regards,
SandeepK

Although SCOM can share a single instance running SQL Server to store data, this is not a recommended configuration. The SSRS is the same, no document says that it can be shared with others.

SCOM 2012 Installation problem - SQL Instance name

Hi All
Strange problem here, I wonder if anyone else has had the same issue.
I have a two-node SQL Server 2014 (Enterprise) Database server configured with a "SQL AlwaysOn Availability Group & Listener". The listener DNS name is: sql-ag-listener
On a separate server VM I attempted to install SCOM 2012 R2 - but when it came to the setup prompt to enter the "Servername & Instance" for the SQL server / Databases it will not accept my SQL AG Listener DNS name. However if I enter any
of the two individual SQL node names (SQL1 or SQL2) then it does accept those values and proceeds with the setup wizard. I do have a DNS entry for the SQL AG name.
All VMs are hosted in Azure. The SQL Servers are in their own Cloud Service and the SCOM MS Servers are in their own Cloud service.
I tried moving one of the SCOM MS Servers to the same Cloud Service container as the SQL Servers - still the same result.
Interestingly (as a test) - I started the SCOM 2012 Installation wizard on one of the SQL Servers and it DID accept the SQL AG value as the "Servername & Instance".
No firewalls are on. The VM endpoints allow SQL port 1433. Also, I can Telnet to the SQL Servers using 'telnet > O sql-ag-listener 1433' - response = Connected....
Not sure why this wont accept my virtual SQL AG name....?
thanks

Hi,
As when you install SCOM on one of your SQL server, then the AG name can be resolved, so it seems like this issue related with network resolution.
On the server where you want to run SCON setup, please use NSLOOKUP command to make sure it can the AG name to an IP address.
In addition, when you run the setup, don't select reporting server, as reporting server role need to install on a SQL server holding SSRS.
We still can install SCOM on normal database, and then add them into availability group later:
Add SCOM Databases to Availability Groups
