SCOM 2012 License for SCOM 2012 R2

Hi,
I want to upgrade SCOM 2012 SP1 to SCOM 2012 R2. Do I need to have any additional license for this upgrade or SCOM 2012 RTM license will work for R2 as well?

Hi,
I'm afraid you may need the additional SCOM 2012 R2 license after upgrading. Here is the detail information.

SQL standard 2012 licenses for SCCM 2012 R2

Hi,
We are implementing SCCM R2 for customer, is the license for SQL standard 2012 included in price for SCCM licenses, we have around 5000 mahcines to be managed also a Secondary with express edition installed .
can secondary and primary have different version of SQL for replication ? or it should be same version?
is there a requirement for SQL standard like processor (How many number of processer can be used if this
license is free of cost for SCCM2012 (any limitations ) ) Is license cost calculated based on processor ?
also how many DB can be installed with standard on single instance ? can we use it for WSUS, MDT DB?
how will i get this SQL standard free version from Microsoft any download location.
Please advise.
Thanks
Shuaib

SQL Server Standard is included with all System Center products. As Tim said CPUs are irrelevant in this case.
You can use whatever versions of SQL you like as long as they are supported. However isn't it always best to standardise.
You can install as many databases as you like as long as they are System Center related - the ones you mentioned are OK.
The customer should download SQL from their Microsoft Volume Licensing Center. If they choose the SQL that is bundled with System Center it will be pre-populated with a license key.

Need help with recomendations on licenses for Server 2012 Std R2

I have a client who wants to purchase a server from me. I can buy the parts and assemble the system no problem. But I'm a newbie when it comes to user CALs or device CALs. The company will be having about 50 computers connecting to it. I'm assuming they'll
just be using the standard user/password domain login.
What else would I need to purchase in addition to the OS?
What kind of features does the vanilla server OS give you? Can 50 computers connect to just the OS alone? I've seen places that have a 1 user CAL for $36. Do I need 50 of these? If I don't purchase them right away, could my client still connect their computers
to the server?
mr.t

Hello,
Licensing Windows Server 2012 comes in four different flavours foundation, essentials, standard and datacenter.
Your client is wanting connect 50 users which really does rule out two of those flavours.
Essentials is ruled out because it is an OEM operating system and only supports up to 15 users and has limited functionality
Foundation is rules out because it only supports up to 25 users and has limited functionality
This leaves us with two Windows Server 2012 flavours you can purchase Standard or Datacenter. They both have exactly the same functionality; the difference is the virtualisation
rights. With standard one license covers two physical processors and supports two virtual machines, if you need more virtual machines then you would have to buy another standard license and giving the right to four virtual machines for example. Then
for datacenter license covers two physical processors and covers you for an unlimited amount of virtual operating systems.
To make this hopefully easier:
1 x standard license covers = 2 x physical processors – 2 x virtual operating systems environments
1x datacenter license covers = 2 x physical processors – unlimited virtual operating environments
Both Standard and Datacenter come with Full functionality
Meaning standard licensing is really for no or very limited virtual environments, then if you are looking in to a virtual environment Datacenter is the way to go.
On regards to CALS are required for every user or device accessing the server. They/you will need to decide whether or not you go for Device or user CALs. User CAL
is more expensive but it gives companies a lot more flexible if the users are running more than one device for example if they support a bring your own device strategy. Although there are different types of CALS depending on what the customer will be
looking to use and access.
Also can your user still connect to the server: technically speaking yes, CALS are not like license keys you cannot activate them it is effectively a piece of
paper to say you have purchased X amount CALS and your compliant to allow your users to connect. So you can connect with out purchasing but you will not be compliant from a licensing standpoint.
Hope this helps to some degree!
Cheers,
Harry

Sql 2012 server for SCCM 2012 - Agent not starting

Hi ,
In our environment we have a Sql 2012, and it was working fine till now. but after installation of RDP role and subsequent installation of certificates for remote desktop in the SCCM server ( SQL 2012 is
installed in it)
we are facing the issue - Sql server management studio not connecting ( windows authenticaltion)
1) A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: SSL Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 233)A
2) I tried starting the sql agent service in services.msc and the below error came
The SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER) service on Local Computer started and then stopped.
Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs.
3) In the Sql Server configuration manager also tried starting the sql agent but
The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion.
Consult the event log or other applicable error logs for details.
The widows event logs show this error
A fatal alert was generated and sent to the remote endpoint. This may result in termination of the connection.
The TLS protocol defined fatal error code is 20. The Windows SChannel error state is 960.
We have removed the certificate and the RDP role in that .
Can anyone please help on this

I would check for error messages in the SQL Server ERROLOG file and also Agent's SQLAGENT.OUT file.

Windows 2012 License activation (MAK)

I have a Windows Server 2012 Std - via OpenLicense (Physical Host + DC and a VM for Exchange 2013)
Needed to add Remote Desktop Services - so purchased another License for Windows 2012 Std on the OpenLicense again.
Installed Windows 2012 on another Physical box - when I try to activate using MAK key I get an error that key is not valid.
Ok...I think its a R2 and NOT R2 issue!
The original Licenses included Windows 2012 St and Windows 2012 R2 keys but the new license does not !
because the 1st Server is Windows 2012 Std - (NOT R2) the copy I installed is NOT R2 as I wanted to keep BOTH server running the same version. [When I have more time I intend to do a lab deploy of R2 and test]
is there a way around this ? i.e. without doing a R2 install ??
I really need to go live with this tomorrow (monday).
Does anyone know - would it be legal to use the MAK supplied with my 1st order ?
ChrisS

Sorted...got non R2 keys issued...

Which type of SQL DB do I need for SCOM 2012?

Hello everyone,
We would like to install a SCOM 2012 Server for reporting and alerting of our Exchange and Lync Server.
Our guys from database management asks me, what type of SQL DB do I need. "An SQL DB with 100GB" shouldn't be enough :-( I'm not very familiar with SQL.
So, which informations could be missing?
Thanks in advance and best regards
Daniel
Beste Grüße

Daniel,
usually Standard Edition is enough and included in the SCOM (agent) license.
Here you find more about requirements:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn249696.aspx
SQL specific:
Check for updates and hotfixes for Microsoft SQL Server. See
SQL Server in System Center 2012 R2.
Operations Manager does not support hosting its databases or SQL Server Reporting Services on a 32-bit edition of SQL Server.
Using a different version of SQL Server for different Operations Manager features is not supported. The same version should be used for all features.
For SQL Server collation settings, see
SQL Server in System Center 2012 R2
The SQL Server Agent service must be started, and the startup type must be set to automatic.
The db_owner role for the operational database must be a domain account. If you set the SQL Server Authentication to Mixed mode, and then try to add a local SQL Server login on the operational database, the Data Access service will not be able to start.
For information about how to resolve the issue, see
System Center Data Access Service Start Up Failure Due to SQL Configuration Change
If you plan to use the Network Monitoring features of System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager, you should move the tempdb database to a separate disk that has multiple spindles. For more information, see
tempdb Database.
You should have a look at the sizing calculator:

Maintainence Mode script for SCOM 2012

Hi All
Currently we use PowerShell script to place servers in maintenance mode (SCOM 2007 ). While executing the script we specify a text file which contains list of agents.
Am looking for same type of script which can work for SCOM 2012. After searching I got the MM tool for placing agent or group in Maintenance. Instead I would need the script to get agents from text file. Also it should check if agent is part of
cluster and place related cluster also in MM.
Let me know , if any one can help me here.
Regards
Madhavi

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/7375.configuring-sudo-elevation-for-unix-and-linux-monitoring-with-system-center-2012-operations-manager.aspx
The questions are:
Did the Sudoers configuration changed from SCOM 2012 SP1 to SCOM 2012 R2?
If yes,
Where is information about sudoers for SCOM 2012 R2?
Thanks in advance!

I've updated the wiki to indicate that the same examples apply to SP1 and to R2. Thanks for pointing this out so we could get it fixed.

Options for monitoring health of SCSM 2012 SP1 using SCOM 2012 SP1

Hi,
I've done some research on how to monitor SCSM using SCOM (version 2012 SP1 for both) and found two options:
Option 1 - Agent-based monitoring. With SCSM2012 SP1, it looks as though the agent is
already present (for upgrades and also for fresh installs). So it follows that SCOM will be able to monitor the health of SCSM.
Option 2 - Agentless monitoring. On the Technet
download page, 'System Requirements' section indicates compatibility with SCOM 2012 and above, and SCSM 2012 and above. Details tab says the following (emphasis mine):
This System Center Management Pack for System Center 2012 - Service Manager should be used to monitor
System Center 2012 - Service Manager, System Center 2012 R2 - Service Manager
and includes monitors for the management server as well as the Data Warehouse server. In this release of the management pack, the Data Access Service, Health Service, Configuration Service, and workflows are monitored.
So it looks like both options are viable, but I'd be interested in hearing other people's experiences of using one vs. the other. Is there any major difference in the information that's provided by agentless vs. agent-based monitoring, or are they just two
different ways of pulling the exact same information into SCOM?
Edit: Just occurred to me that SP1 isn't explicitly mentioned in the Technet article linked above under option 2. Has anyone successfully used agentless monitoring on SP1?

Recommendations for SCOM 2012 -- 2012 R2 migration

Hello to all. I have a customer that has SCOM 2012 in its IT environment but uses it barely and does not have any documentation. I proposed to install a new Manament Group (MG) and "reboot" to a paralell SCOM 2012 R2 considering the
use of new features present on 2012 R2.
Questions:
1- Does SCOM support a side by side migration strategy , like SCCM 2007 R2 --> SCCM 2012 R2 that takes its main source objects and bring them to the new separated Management Group (the SCOM 2012 R2)?
2- Considering that all regular member servers are monitored by SCOM 2012 (all have agents installed), what is the recommended way to to install SCOM 2012 R2 agents on them (multi homed deploy, deploy a new agent and it will upgrade/remove the
already existing SCOM 2012, etc)?
3- Does SCOM allows a approach to install a SCOM 2012 R2 on already existing SCOM 2012 MG and "migrate" its objects to new server and after that decomission SCOM 2012 (the old version)?
Your inputs and references will be very welecomed.
Regards, EEOC.

Upgrade Paths for SCOM 2012 R2

I looked through many forums and MS sites but can't find if it's possible to upgrade SCOM 2007R2 to SCOM 2012R2 directly. Or do you have to upgrade to the integrated SCOM 2012SP1 package first? or is even that supported? I'm trying to
upgrade to 2012R2 from 2007R2 and everything is on the same server.

Agree
The correct upgrade path is
SCOM 2007 R2 CU4 --> SCOM 2012
SCOM 2012 --> SCOM 2012 SP1
SCOM 2012 SP1 --> SCOM 2012 R2
