SCOM 2012 Disabling Sealed Management Packs

Hi, I need to disable some default MP in scom 2012 as part of testing and its a sealed MP. Could someone pls help me out to share a powershell script for executing the same.
Also I want to know, if I disable this MP, will it allow me to enable in future.
Pls advise..
Regards, Rajeev Parambil

There is no easy way of disabling all alerts, but this script could be used:

I don't know your situation, but I would recommend implementing the management pack in a demo environment, tune the alerts to a new management pack, and then import that custom mp into a production environment.

Scom 2012 r2 DFS management packs mp windows 2008 r2 servers

Hello,
I'm having an issue in getting the 2008 r2 DFS namespaces servers to show up after installing the "Windows Server File & iSCSI Services 2012" and "Windows Server File & iSCSI Services 2012 R2". The attached mp
documentation says to "Remove all existing DFS namespaces packs prior to installing the new dfs namespaces pack". However, the 2012 mp doesn't seem to include 2008 mp.
Does anyone have a guide or can clarify the install/upgrade instructions?
Thanks.

Regarding to
DFS MP Guide, this management pack contain both for windows 2008\2012

Can any one tell me how to pull out a sealed management pack key token

Hi All,
Can any one tell me how to pull out a sealed management pack key token. I want to add dependencies to a management pointing towards a sealed management pack for which a "management pack key token" is required which i need to add in the XML File
of the management pack. Can any one please tell me how to fetch that information.

Hi Gautam,
If you need to reference one management pack in another management pack, then you will need to know what the public key token is. When referencing a Microsoft management pack, it is easy as Microsoft always have the same key which is 31bf3856ad364e35 but
if you need publickey token for other then MS management pack then you can simply run a SQL querry in your OperationManagerDB.
select * from dbo.ManagementPack where MPName = 'Type your ManagementPackID'
ManagementPackID will be present of the properties of the Management Pack.
In that case the management pack should be imported in your SCOM environment.
And you will get Public key token only for sealed Management packs not for unsealed.

Imported sealed Management Pack and its not showing up in Data Warehouse Job MPSyncJob

Hello,
When i try to Import a sealed Management Pack (with defined new Dimensions for Data Warehouse) it works fine, and it shows up under Management Packs under the Administration Pane. But its not showing up in the Data Warehouse Job "MPSyncJob".

Exported SCSM Default ServiceManager.RunbookActivity.Configuration Sealed management pack but unable to import later

Hi,
I exported SCSM default ServiceManager.RunbookActivity.Configuration Sealed management pack and remove it from SCSM. Later when I tried to import back the xml file it shows me this error.
Is there anyway to reinstate the original Sealed management pack?
Thanks
Jeron@Microsoft Technet

This error message is often related to missing the tag ManagementPublicKeyToken within the category tag. If you seal a MP but without defined the token then Service Manager will complain like this. And obviously the token and key must match.
What happens if you insert your keytoken value into the MP, seal it with your own key and then import it?
Somewhat like below:
<Categories>
<Category>
<ManagementPackVersion>xxx</ManagementPackVersion>
<ManagementPublicKeyToken>tokenhere</ManagementPublicKeyToken>
</Category>

Cannot import sealed management pack from unsealed management pack

We have unsealed management pack imported to our scsm 2012. It has an additional dropdown list with list. But now we are now going to seal it but when we are going to import it now, it says it cannot be imported because there is already unsealed management
pack with the same name. If we are going to delete that unsealed managmeent pack, we may lost are data for that field. Is there any way for this?

As workaround you can export data to temp location (XML or something like this), remove unsealed, import new sealed and import data back from temp location. This can be easy done with SMLets
SCSMSolutions
email: freemanru (at) gmail (dot) com
I'm having the same issue as the original poster. I foolishly have been working with an unsealed management pack in our SCSM 2012 SP1, UR2 environment that contains a list of "Locations") We need this to be sealed so it will not only sync to
the DW, but also so we can reference it with new templates/workflows.
I'm hoping for an answer from Anton on more detailed instructions for this workaround, to help a newbie to SCSM and SMLets.

SCOM 2012 SP1 UR4 management servers grey state

Hi,
My SCOM environment is made up of the below :-
SCOM 2012 SP1 UR4.
3 SCOM Management Servers all on Windows 2008 R2 SP1.
Shared SQL 2008 cluster with 2 Windows nodes also on same OS.
Just recently all our SCOM management servers have been flipping in and out from grey to green state. Gateways/agents all look ok as showing green. Alerting from agents appears normal as can see lots of them in console.
Have flushed the health state cache folder on all 3 SCOM MS's and still the same issue.
Appreciate any help on this one.

Event id: 7011 - Was your server recently patched (Installed by any automatic updates) ?
IS SCCM Configured in your MS? If Yes disable and check?
Is Windows update service running ? Stop if for one or two days and check if this issue still appears

For Event id 20026 -
1. Does your Operationsmanager database have enough space ? Check that first.
What is you DB size ?
How much is the free space left ?
2. Was there any resent change in the SCOM Action accoutn password ? Or has the password expired. Try re entering the SCOM Action password by re directing your self to Administration tab --> Run as Config -- > Accounts --> SCOM Action account.
The description would be - This is the user account under which all rules run by default on the agent.
Right click and go to properties and re enter the account name and password there and check.

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).

Hi,
I have SCOM 2012 R2.
I want to get all the Management Servers that are in Gray state using powershell. How can I do that?
I couldn't find anything good in the internet.
The best I got was Get-SCOMManagementServer but when I tested it out - it still showed that my gateway's HealthState was "Success" even though it was gray.
Thanks,

What is the best way to edit alert descriptions from Sealed Management Packs?

We have an alert generated from the Exchange 2010 MP. It basically states that the Database Logical Disk Space is running low. We get this alert a lot as log volume varies each day. Alert:
Alert: The database copy is low on database volume space. The volume has reached error levels (16% free)
Alert Source: Public Folder Database DB Logical Disk Space - <Server Name> (Mailbox)
Alert Description:

ObjectName: Logical Disk
CounterName: % Free Space
InstanceName: E:

<Computer Name>
Impacted Entities (0):
What we'd like to do is edit the subject of the alert to say what the actual value is (in GB for example). What I've been finding is that since the MP is sealed, I'm not allowed to make changes to the alert description.
What is the recommended way to customize sealed MP alerts and descriptions?

Making a change to a sealed Microsoft MP isn't a good idea. If you make a change and then you update the MP down the track you will loose any changes you have made.
When you say edit the subject of the alert, is it the subject in the email notification your talking about or the highlighted value you listed in the alert?
If its the value you highlighted then I don't believe so as this is the raw value returned from the property bag data and this is usually used by other monitors also.
If its the email subject your talking about you can format the E-Mail Notification Channel used and edit E-Mail subject to present the data as you wish in an email.
Cheers,
Martin

How Can i override a target for a monitor in a sealed Management pack

Hello everyone,
I have very generic question here, May be it is too basic.
I have a time Skew Monitor that is present from an AD MP which is targeted to only AD Computers. Now overriding this Monitor to ALL computers , will this monitor function as expected ?
I understand that , by overriding we are changing the scope of this monitor , but still the monitor is created targeting only AD Computer Role Will this work on Non AD Servers after the override ?
S.Arun Prasath

Hi,
When creating an override for a monitor in a Sealed mp, you will automatically be asked to place the override in an unsealed mp.
When overriding, you have different options. If you want to make an override for this monitor, for all AD servers, you simply select "all objects of this class".
I hope that makes sense.

SCOM 2012 - Disable Alerts for a few servers

Hi,
I have about 8 servers and i need to disbale a monitor, how do i do this?
Is there a way i can select the monitor from the agent and then disable it?
thank you in advance :)
Kelly

Find out what the "target" of the monitor is. Create an instance group containing the target class for those servers. If you can do this dynamically based on naming convention or OU, then cool. If not, then you might have to
add them individually. Then override for a group, as the person said before.

Sealed and unsealed management pack in scom ?

Dear all ,
What is Difference between sealed and unsealed management pack in scom?
I know like override alert can not be saved in sealed MP , is there any thing else ?
Sengo.

Hi,
A sealed management pack is a binary file that cannot be edited. An unsealed management pack is an XML file that can be edited. Sealed management packs should have an .mp extension, while unsealed management packs should have an .xml extension.
In general, management packs obtained from an application or hardware device vendor are sealed.
Although you cannot change the settings in a sealed management pack, you can still customize the applied settings of a management pack after it is imported by using overrides or by creating additional settings such as rules, monitors, and tasks that supersede
the management pack's default settings. All customizations that you create are saved to a separate management pack file.
Management packs can only reference another management pack if the management pack that is referenced is sealed

Yan Li

Disabling Management Packs automatically

Not sure if this is the right place but after a duplicate with RMAN I have to recreate the EM repository with emca. Everything is fine and fully automated except I have to disable all features in the Management Pack Access manually while control_management_pack_access is set to NONE. I find it very annoying I selected SE One during installation and everytime I do a duplicate I have to disable the features again. Can this be automated? I read about CHOPT but from what I understand the database has to be closed. Isn't there another way?
Another question, is it really necessary to disable all features from the Management Pack Access when you only have a SE One license? It's not like I am using those features.

The control_management_pack_access parameter is dynamic and you can set to NONE to turn off the featuers.
If you are not using the features, still you have to disable the management packs.
refer below link for features availability by edition.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/license.102/b14199/editions.htm#BABDBGJA
You can refer below link for licensing info
