SCOM 2007 R2 Removal

Hi Guys,
Looking for an advice, if there is any procedure to do SCOM 2007 R2 decommissioning, it is updated with Cu5
Thanks,
- Thanks, Varshinie

If you are looking to decommission the whole SCOM 2007 R2 environment (ie remove everything) then there is no need to remove the CU .. below assumes that there is only one SCOM environment and you want to purge it from your organisation:
1) Uninstall all agents.
2) Uninstall all core components (MS, RMS, Reporting). Potentially decommission the servers if they were dedicated to SCOM
3) If you are looking to reinstall at some time or want to use the SQL Servers for something else then delete the databases and logins for the SCOM service accounts
4) Disable the SCOM service accounts. You can delete them but I'd prefer to disable them in the first instance in case they have been reused elsewhere. If something breaks then you can just re-enable the account
5) If you have deployed the AD Management Pack then delete the OpsMgrLatencyMonitors container
6) If you used AD Integration then remove the container that this creates from AD
7) If you have configured excchange to relay messages from the Management Server then you can remove this configuration in Exchange
8) Network devices that have been configured to use SCOM can be reconfigured (security removed) to clean up the ACLs
9) Ideally, if you have created Run As Accounts for specific applications e.g. SQL then you might need to remove these from the applications themselves e.g. remove the SQL logins used for SQL monitoring

Cannot remove SMTP Channel Scom 2007 R2

Since my SCOM 2007 machine stopped sending notification mails i try to delete the smpt channels and recreate them.
Now when i try to remove them i get the next error message:

Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Thanks for your message...
I have created a new smtp channel and tried to test it with the notification test tool.
I don't get mail and in my event viewer i get the next warning in the application log:
Connection with the Operations Manager Root Management Server failed.
Error: A Management Pack in the Management Group has been added, upgraded, overridden, or deleted. A reconnection will be needed to detect the changes.
Number of occurrence: 1
Retrying in 30 seconds...
I have checked my management server in the administration console which says it is healthy and seems working correctly

Update agent from SCoM 2007 to SCOM 2012

Expets,
We have SCOM 2007 R2 CU7on 1 server.
we installed another single SCOM 2012 r2 on another server.
when i push the agent from the SCOM 2012 to machine still monitored by SCOM 2007, the machine appear in pending management under device management under setting
tab
but when i remove the SCOM 2007 manualy, there is no problem and the installing of SCOM 2012 agent done successfully
any way to make SCOM 2012 agent automatically without remove SCOM 2007 agent ?

Hi,
If SCOM 2012 and SCOM 2007 R2 belong to the same management group, then you are trying to make your agents multi-homing, and if so, just discovery them and push agent to them should work.
Here is a similar thread, please go through it:

And we may need to logon to one agent and check its event viwer for operation manager log for more details.

SCOM 2007 - OPerations console only for exchange servers.

HI All,
There is s requirement in my organisation where-in we have to create monitoring /operations console , only for exchange servers is that possible? If yes, can some share the information on the same also, this needs to be done in SCOM 2007 R2.
Rgs,

Hi Naren,
If your organisation does not have any restrictions in providing the Administration acces, Then i would sugges you import the Exchange 2010 / 2013 management packs.
Download link: http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=692
http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=39039 ( Exchange 2013 M's not compatible with SCOM 2007 R2 as per my understanding)
Post importing,
Go to the operations console and SCOPE the objects only to Exchange 2010 Monitoring target, So that the console will only display you the Exchange 2010 management pack alerts.
Once in a while remove the SCOPE and clear the other alerts as well and then re scope it back.
Or if you are only monitoring Exchange 2010 then no need to SCOPE at all as there will be no other management packs to throw alerts in SCOM console.
If security is your concern then Make a normal operator account like the below and tell them to SCOPE the objects to Exchange 2010 or give them access to the Web console where the administration tab will be unavailable at all times.
Security scope: Make them a member of This group for limited / only monitoring access:
I Admin access is necessary, Then make them a member of Operationsmanager Admins on the 1st group of the screenshot.

SCOM 2007 extest_ user mailbox maintenance/management.

I use SCOM 2007 to monitor our Exchange 2010 environment. I use the test-* commands in powershells on my desktop to catch anything that may occur between SCOM alert thresholds. Several of these use the extest_ account.
Today, I looked at the extest_ user mailbox and found that the tests are accumulating in the mailbox. What do I need to configure so the tests are purged from the mailbox, including the deleted items folder?
Information, links, and comments are all welcome.
TIA.

Hi,
Do you mean that there are many test mailbox and you want to remove them? As far as I know, those account is used for synthetic transaction tests for the Exchange. Those synthetic transactions will perform several tests on your Exchange infrastructure
and warn you if there is a problem with your mail flow. In order to perform such tests the requirement is to have specific users with mailboxes created. Those users is created by script named New-TestCasConnectivityUser.ps1.
Each site will have a test account, please refer to the below link for more details:
http://stefanroth.net/2013/02/09/scom-exchange-2010-mp-extest_-user/
From my point of view, we can remove those account, but then the script can create them again.
If you don't create a test mailbox on one or more Mailbox servers, the Management Pack will return the following warning: “The test mailbox was not initialized. Run new-TestCasConnectivityUser.ps1 to ensure that the test mailbox is created.”

I have imported SharePoint 2013 MP in SCOM 2007 R2 and the sharepoint farm group is in "not monitored" state, moreover only one computer name out of all sharepoint farm servers is being populated in unidentified machines (rest are not being

I have followed all the steps as per installation guide of sharepoint 2013 (foundation & Server) MP. Configured run as account has the farm admin rights.

Can overrides from SCOM 2007 R2 be used in a new SCOM 2012 R2 installation?

Hi All,
I'm wondering if we can "easily" use our overrides/configuration from our current SCOM 2007 R2 implementation and use them in a new SCOM
2012 R2 environment that we plan on standing up. We are using SCOM to monitor approx. 400 servers (physical and virtual).
We have been using 2007 R2 for a few years and we'd like to start using 2012 R2. Instead of using the update path (2007 R2 to 2012
to 2012 SP1 to 2012 R2), we are planning on setting up a new 2012 R2 environment and configuring our servers to start reporting to 2012 R2 (after it has been configured in such a way as to "mimic" our 2007 R2 environment).
Ideally, we'd like to avoid going through the upgrade path. (We'll leave our 2007 R2 environment running so that we can still access "historical
data" until the new 2012 R2 environment has had a chance to build up its own "historical data".)
So ... I was thinking we could export our overrides from 2007 R2 and import them into 2012 R2, but I'd like to verify that this approach makes
sense. We haven't done extensive customizations to 2007 R2 in terms of Distributed Applications or Management Pack Objects (although we have made some changes - which I guess we could manually configure in 2012 R2 to offer the same "experience").
The following are some of the Management Packs that we are using in 2007 R2:
Microsoft Windows Active Directory
Active Directory Certificate Services
EMC Storage Monitoring
IBM Hardware
Microsoft Exchange Server 2010
McAfee
Microsoft Forefront Server Protection 2010
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007
Microsoft SQL Server
Microsoft Windows DNS Server
Microsoft Windows WINS
Microsoft Windows Hyper-V
Microsoft Windows Internet Information Services
Microsoft Windows Server
Microsoft Windows DHCP
NetBackup Operations Manager
Office Communications Server
OpsLogix (BlackBerry)
Service Level Dashboard for OpsMgr 2007 R2
SolarWinds Orion
Schedule Maintenance Mode
Team Foundation Server 2010
Virtual Machine Manager
Microsoft Windows Cluster
Operations Manager 2007 R2
I appreciate all feedback and the sharing of you expertise.
Thanks, Joe.

As long as the base pack works and you wish to retain the customisation then you should be ok, there’s a good article
here which explains how to perform the migration and some of implication/things to check.
There will be complications if you’ve stored anything in the default mp but this is explained in the above article.

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

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

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

Hi,
The below code should work to get all servers that have alert of logical disk free space is low in specific period:
get-alert -criteria 'Name = ''Logical Disk Free Space is low'' AND TimeRaised >=''3/24/2014'' AND TimeRaised <= ''4/24/2014''' | select MonitoringObjectDisplayName,MonitoringObjectPath,Name,TimeRaised | sort MonitoringObjectDisplayName

SCOM 2007 R2 CU 7 SQL Database script update

Hi..I'm in the process of installing CU 7 for SCOM 2007 R2 (SQL 2008 R2). I completed the Server update successfully. While running the SQL operations manager DB upgrade I get the message '(0 row(s) affected'
Auto-attach to process '[144] [SQL] Server' on machine 'Server' succeeded.
The thread 'Server\Instance [87]' (0x8fc) has exited with code 0 (0x0).
The program '[144] [SQL] Server: Server\Instance' has exited with code 0 (0x0).
Also, there are no alerts being generated since yesterday which I assume are due to the database not being updated.
Am I missing something here?
Thanks

Hi,
I suggest you follow the official KB methods here.
1. Log on to the computer that hosts the Operations Manager 2007 database by using a user account that has database system administrator (SA) rights to the instance of the Operations Manager 2007 database. To perform the database update remotely, log on
to a computer that hosts SQL Server Management Studio by using a user account that has the appropriate SA rights to the Operations Manager 2007 database.
2. Run SQL Server Management Studio.
3. In the Connect to Server dialog box, connect to the instance of SQL Server that hosts the Operations Manager database. The default database name is OperationsManager.
4. On the toolbar, click New Query.
5. From the SQL Editor toolbar, use the Available databases option to select the Operations Manager database.
6. On the File menu, click Open, browse to C:\program files (x86)\System Center 2007 R2 hotfix utility\KB2783850\SQLUpdate, select the CU_Database.sql file that was extracted by the Windows installer (.msi file), and then click Open.
7. When the file is loaded, click Execute in the SQL Editor toolbar.
8. View the Messages pane to check whether the Transact-SQL commands ran successfully.
9. Exit SQL Server Management Studio.
10. For the Operations Manager data warehouse, repeat steps 1 through 8. However, connect to the instance of SQL Server that hosts the Operations Manager data warehouse, and then run the \SQLUpdate\CU_DataWarehouse.sql file.

Report with all monitors & their threshold for a server for SCOM 2007 R2

Hi,
I need a report with all monitored monitors & rules with their effective threshold for SCOM 2007 R2. I tried few scripts & tools mentioned on different blogs, but not getting anything.
Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
TIA

This would be a custom report, which is not available to my knowledge. You need to consider overrides, and this is the crux of the situation. What you can do is open the pack in MPViewer, and export the pack which will contain the thresholds. And you could
also create an override view, in My Workspace, based on the pack you are interested in.
Otherwise, it will be a custom TSQL query or stored procedure, that you may incorporate into your custom report.

Thanks for the question Sandoss. This is something that we all come across at sometime.
Thanks & regards, Sumit Agrawal
The lack of this feature is an inexcusable oversight for an enterprise management product. They have some serious lightweights making design decisions on the SCOM team. 5 thumbs down.
BTW the answer is probably LOTS of stuff. Literally 100's of workflows are running on any server.
The following OpsMgr DB query will list all running monitors on a server. Change the name of @srv. I think this works pretty well. I'd like some feedback if something is missing.
DECLARE @srv varchar(30)
SET @srv = 'your name here'
SELECT mon.displayName as monitor, bme.FullName,bme.DisplayName as object,
case
    when s.HealthState = 1 then 'healthy'
    when s.HealthState = 2 then 'Warning'
    when s.HealthState = 3 then 'Critical'
    else 'N/A'
end as Health
FROM state AS s WITH (NOLOCK)
left join BaseManagedEntity as bme WITH (NOLOCK) on s.basemanagedentityid = bme.basemanagedentityid
left join dbo.MonitorView Mon WITH (NOLOCK) on Mon.ID = s.monitorid
where
bme.FullName like '%' + @srv + '%'
and s.HealthState <> 0
and mon.IsInternalRollupMonitor = 0

Hardware Requirement for SCOM 2007

Hello,
I have still SCOM 2007 R2.
I would like to know what is or are the requirements for the hardware:
Disk : I have 300 Gb 10 K will it be enough for the database server or 15 K is mandatory?
Thanks,
Dom
System Center Operations Manager 2007 / System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R2 / Forefront Client Security / Forefront Identity Manager

the majority of measurements at least for the DB side which would be the most important aspect would be measured in IOPS. I would wait for 15k drives just b/c your going to have to live with it for a few years. weather 15k drives help your IOPS numbers will
depend on your Raid settings and disk configuration.
hope this helps!

Hi!
You have to add the correct controls in the parameter block, add the code-block, add report parameters as in the parameter block and replace query parameters.
