SCOM 2012 Operations Manager Failed to start a process

We have recently upgraded from SCOM 2007 to SCOM 2012. We are not getting a great deal of “Operations Manager Failed to start a process”. The process varies including:
DiscoverSQL2008ASDiscovery.vbs
DiscoverSQL2008DBEngineDiscovery.vbs
DiscoverSQL2008ASDiscovery.vbs
Microsoft.Windows.Server.NetwokAdapter.BandwidthUsed.ModuleType.vbs
I have researched and researched. I know that you can try to run the scripts locally on the machine but it seems the scripts never make it to the machine. I go to the path in the error, no luck. I look in the other folders as I know that SCOM moves the scripts,
and I even search the entire C drive but the scripts are not getting to the server. The folder is not even making it. For example:
Command executed: "C:\Windows\system32\cscript.exe" /nologo "Microsoft.Windows.Server.NetwokAdapter.BandwidthUsed.ModuleType.vbs" SERVER true Working Directory: C:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager\Agent\Health Service State\Monitoring
Host Temporary Files 11606\1759\
The script is not there and the folder \1759 is not there either.
I have removed and reinstalled the client.
Antivirus is fine, up to date and not blocking on any of the machines.
I have stopped the “System Center Management service” and renamed the “Health Service State” folder and it recreates fine but not long after I get the warning in SCOM about “Operations Manager Failed to start a process”.
I look in event viewer for Operations Manager on this particular one and I see a lot of:
Performance data from the Health Service could not be collected since required registry keys could not be read, the error was 2L (The system cannot find the file specified.). Event ID 6001.
I tried the fix of
"lodctr MOMConnectorCounters.ini" and "lodctr HealthServiceCounters.ini" but I get “error
encountered while updating text in registry. Status: 0”. Again I am using SCOM 2012.
Do I need to look at each failed script or is there a overall issue because the scripts are not making it to the machines. Any ideas?

I guess you might need to run "mofcomp sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof".

Dreaded "Operations Manager failed to start a process" error (2012 R2)

I know this error has been covered many times, and on many topics, but this time mine is slightly different.   It's
NOT the
"SCOMpercentageCPUTimeCounter" error covered by Kevin Holman.
Also, I am running SCOM 2012 R2 UR4 (7.1.10226.1046) and everything seems correctly patched (MS and agents), like
suggested by Nicole Welch and Kevin Holman as well.
So my environment is a fresh installation of SCOM 2012 R2, and I am transferring to this new Management Group, the monitored servers from our old SCOM 2012 "R1" (which I did not upgrade but rather made a brand new independent install). So
all servers aren't migrated yet, but I would like to solve this error before. This error did NOT happen in "R1", nor was it overridden (I imported the exact same Management Packs anyway).
On 2012 R2, it happens on almost all new monitored machines, mainly Read-Only Domain Controllers (RODCs).
Here is the kind of alert text I am getting:
Het om 10:10:15 gestarte proces is beëindigd als gevolg van een uitvoerverzamelfout als gevolg van fout 0x80070057 :
The parameter is incorrect.

Werkmap: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Monitoring Agent\Agent\Health Service State\Monitoring Host Temporary Files 193\24788\
Dit is van invloed op een of meer werkstromen.
Werkstroomnaam: Microsoft.Windows.Server.2008.AD.DomainController.GCSearchTime.Monitor
Exemplaarnaam: RODC02
Our servers have Belgian (Dutch) regional settings, hence the language. But check out the highlighted info in bold.
The related event Number (in Alert Context) is 21404. Most other articles about this, mention 21402 or 21403. I suppose they all must be related but still, it's a new one here.
There you have the failing VBS file. I checked all alerts and there seem to be different files concerned overall. Other examples:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Monitoring Agent\Agent\Health Service State\Monitoring Host Temporary Files 233\22737\AD_Database_and_Log.vbs    (from almost all RODCs)
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Monitoring Agent\Agent\Health Service State\Monitoring Host Temporary Files 196\19876\Microsoft.Windows.Server.Legacy.FreeSpace.vbs
(also from an RODC)
C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012 R2\Operations Manager\Server\Health Service State\Monitoring Host Temporary Files 5891\338282\Microsoft.Windows.Server.CPUUtilization.Monitortype.vbs 95 15
SCOM02.mydomain.be 1.4119384288787842     (this one is from my second Management Server..)
Repeat count of the alert is 1 to 2 a day, so it's not nightmareish, but still, requires to be fixed. I suspect that even if there is a different VBS file concerned, since the eventID and the alert text are the same, the repeat count will just increase,
not showing the last actual VBS concerned.
I connect to each of these servers, and browse to the directory containing the file, and the folder is there, the file is there. The error text mentions incorrect parameters but they still seem OK to me.
I found something which might be worth noting: when browsing to the directory, be it on an RODC or on the SCOM server, I get a permission popup requiring some admin rights to do so - although I am using my domain admin (+SCOM+SQL+local
admin everywhere) account:
SCOM services use the Local System account to run, on every machine. I thought Local System shouldn't be concerned with these permissions popups, but normally the domain/local admins aren't either, yet I am.
The "Health service" folder is the only one from the "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Monitoring Agent\Agent" folder to be concerned with this; I can browse without trouble to any other directory there.
After a SCOM service stop, I renamed the "Health Service state" folder (as you can see on the screenshot, there is a "Health Service State bak" folder) and let the service recreate it after a restart, to ensure it was clean and with
appropriate permissions , but it doesn't help.
Might that be a clue?
Or else what? I'm getting confused and don't find a suitable solution.

Operations Manager failed to start a process + UAC

Ok, I understand that there are perhaps tens of thousands of these posts, but I've not found one after an hour searching that seems to meet up with what I'm seeing.
Seeing this show up on a handful of servers, and I don't see the correlation with the servers having this issue and things they have in common. I'm seeing it on all of our Lync Front-End servers, and then on a few terminal servers. I'm going to give the
error for the Lync servers here though.
The process started at 9:00:25 AM failed to create System.PropertyBagData, no errors detected in the output. The process exited with 0
Command executed: "C:\Windows\system32\cscript.exe" /nologo "GetSQL2012DBFilesFreeSpace.vbs" "FE-05\RTCLOCAL" "FE-05.home.ku.edu" "RTCLOCAL"
Working Directory: C:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager\Agent\Health Service State\Monitoring Host Temporary Files 9359\180265\
One or more workflows were affected by this.
Workflow name: Microsoft.SQLServer.2012.Monitoring.DBFileSpaceMonitor
Instance name: tempdb2
Instance ID: {1FFB1DA7-414F-CAA1-E3EC-07AC097A2CED}
Management group: ITES
So since I've been working through all these little annoying warnings and trying to sort them out I decided to run the script.

As you can see a boatload of data is returned, then I realized that my command prompt was running in admin mode. When I ran the same command not in admin mode, there was no data returned, which seems to fit with the error. The script ran but no data came
back.
So, my question is, should I disable UAC on all my front end servers? Or, is there a better runas account to use? I believe I chose the default LocalSystem for everybody since it doesn't require as much effort.
Any feedback is welcome :)

The agent should use LocalSystem and it is very rare to use a different account to run the agent service. This is probably a need to configure a run as account to be used by the SQL Discovery. SQL Server 2012 is much more locked down than previous versions
of SQL, so unless you gave localsystem admin rights to your instance of SQL running on this box, this script will always come back with nothing. check out kevin holmans article on how to configure run as accounts for the SQL MP, to address this issue.

Creating a Linked Report in SC 2012 - Operations Manager fails with Error

Hello everyone,
I was trying to create a linked report based on an availability report recently. I found Emre Guclu's scom linked report creation guide here:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/emreguclu/archive/2011/10/13/using-linked-reports-in-scom-to-create-custom-availability-reports-for-specified-monitors.aspx
I go to SSRS web console and select a report (Which is Microsoft.SystemCenter.DataWarehouse.Availability in Microsoft.SystemCenter.Datawarehouse.Reports), select "Create a Linked Report" from context menu, select another location for storing the
report just like on this guide but i get an error rsWrongItemType with exact text:
"The operation you are attempting on item ' Microsoft.SystemCenter.Datawarehouse.Reports/ Microsoft.SystemCenter.Datawarehouse.Availability' is not allowed for this item type. rsWrongItemType"
Does anyone know why is this error happening and better how to fix this?
Below is the screenshot of SSRS.

Hi,
Please check the report path you have set, the location must specify the full report path, such as
/custom report folder/MyReport.

Operations manager failed to run a wmi query for wmi events (0x800706ba)

Hi everyone,
I've been working on this issue for a while and I am still no closer to finding out what the problem is. If anybody can offer any other advice or things to check, I'm all ears.
I'm running SCOM 2012 R2 with UR2, and the Cluster Management Pack v6.0.7063.0
My problem is on one particular batch of cluster servers where I am getting the following error.
Name: Operations Manager failed to run a WMI query for WMI events
Alert Description:
Module was unable to enumerate the WMI data
Error: 0x800706ba
Details: The RPC server is unavailable
Workflow name: Microsoft.Windows.Cluster.Node.StateMonitoring
Instance Name: servername.domain.local
Instance ID: {instance_id}
Management group: SCOM_Management_Grp_Name
I am getting this alert regardless of whether I run the Windows Cluster Action Account as Local System, or as a domain user with full local admin privileges on all the cluster nodes.
When looking at the management pack and the workflow in particular (Microsoft.Windows.Cluster.Node.StateMonitoring), I can see that it's trying to access
MSCluster_Node in the root\MSCLUSTER WMI namespace.
This is the workflow for your information...

I can confirm that I am able to browse the MSCluster_Node class locally, as well as remotely using WMIEXPLORER and WBEMTEST,
however it only works when I set the Authentication Level to
Packet Privacy. If I do not select Packet Privacy, a WMI event log error 5605 is logged on the remote servers application log that says...
The root\mscluster namespace is marked with the RequiresEncryption flag. Access to this namespace might be denied if the script or application does not have the appropriate authentication level. Change the authentication level to Pkt_Privacy
and run the script or application again.
I can confirm that all firewalls are turned off, and there are no firewalls between the management servers and the agents in question. AV exclusions have been done and appear to be in place. The nodes are all Windows 2008 R2 with SP1. As
far as I can tell there is plenty of memory available on each of the nodes in question (50%+) of RAM is available.
If I manually run the "Discover the Windows Server 2008 R2 Cluster Components" task in the Cluster Service State section of the management pack in the Monitoring Pane in the console, on the nodes in question - the discovery runs successfully.
Does anybody have any other ideas or suggestions I could try?
Many thanks in advance,
Noel.

Hi,
Common causes of RPC errors include:
Errors resolving a DNS or NetBIOS name.
The RPC service or related services may not be running.
Problems with network connectivity.

Operations Manager Failed to Access the Windows Event Log and management server is showing warning state

Hi,
I am monitoring AD server from SCOM 2012 R2. My management server goes into waning state. When i run Health explorer then it come back in the healthy state but after some time it again goes into warning state. After seeing alert i found that a alert is coming
again and again i.e. Operations Manager Failed to Access the Windows Event Log.The description of alert is mention below
The Windows Event Log Provider is still unable to open the DhcpAdminEvents event log on computer 'nc2vws12ad5.corp.nathcorp.com'.
The Provider has been unable to open the DhcpAdminEvents event log for 64080 seconds.
Most recent error details: The RPC server is unavailable.
Please suggest me how to resolve this so that my management server will again come back in healthy state.
Thanks
Abhishek

Hi Abhishek,
As i mentioned earlier the Alert resolution says the same points.
Can you give details on the below ?
Is there really a log named "Dhcpadminevents" in the MS's Event viewer ?
Did you recently configure any new alert where you mentioned "Dhcpadminevents"
as a event log location ?
If yes then what is the target you selected for the rule / monitor there ?
Can you post the results for analysis ?

Enabling Instant Messaging Notifications in System Center 2012 Operations Manager

Hello
I need your assistance please...
I followed the steps here
http://opsmgrunleashed.wordpress.com/2012/02/24/enabling-instant-messaging-notifications-in-system-center-2012-operations-manager/ to enable IM notification.
I received error in opsmgr console "Failed to send notification" the alert state (Microsoft.Rtc.Signaling.ConnectionFailureException: Unable to establish a
connection) while on the lync server I see critical event ID: 36888 (
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 10. The Windows SChannel error state is 1203.)
Appreciate your help.
Thanks
Mohammad, IT NOC Team

Hi,
Please checked the setting of the IM channel, ensure the Protocol is TLS and port is 5061.
Also try to create the following registry key for a test. If the issue persists, check the event log from SCOM side.
New Key: SHA
Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Hashes\SHA
SubKey: Enabled
Value: Dword:00000000

Operations Manager failed to run a WMI query-Invalid class

Hi Team,
may of the windows 2008 R2 sp1 and sp2 servers getting below SCOM 2012 alert. Please help me to fix the same.
SCOM version : SCOM 2012 R2
Alert: Operations Manager failed to run a WMI query

HRESULT: 0x80041010
Details: Invalid class
One or more workflows were affected by this.
Workflow name: Citrix.PresentationServer.ActiveSessions.PerformanceMonitor

First try it with WBEMTEST to see what is going with the WMI class. The error you are getting usually means WMI misses that class and you should load the mof again/ maybe rebuild the entire repository (careful as the windows files are all located
on 1 folder, but applications tend to store it in their own folders, like citrix, ibm, etc).
Try to run this command:
mofcomp "<Programfiles>\Citrix\System32\Citrix\WMI\ .Mof file for citrix"
{citrixProv.XP10FR3.mof, metaframeProv.XP10FR3.mof, and mgmt.XP10FR4.mof files}
Then, run the WBEMTest again and the namespace should be returned successfully. Then restarting the health service on agent.

Operations Manager failed to run a WMI query -Access Denied

v hosts to 2012 r2, and now we're seeing a lot of "Operations Manager failed to run a WMI Query", With "Object enumeration failed".
Query: 'SELECT Name, State FROM MSCLUSTER_NetworkInterface where Name="our host name
- Management"' HRESULT: 0x80070005 Details: Access is denied.
Our Cluster run-as account is local admin on the hosts beeing monitored.
We've tried rebuilding the WMI database following this procedure:
1. Disable and stop the WMI service.
     sc config winmgmt start= disabled
     net stop winmgmt
2. Run the following commands.
     Winmgmt /salvagerepository %windir%\System32\wbem      (I noticed that you have run this command, but I would suggest
that you try it again)
    Winmgmt /resetrepository %windir%\System32\wbem
4. Re-enable the WMI service and then reboot the server to see how it goes.
     sc config winmgmt start= auto
If the problem remains, then try the following steps to rebuild the repository:
1. Disable and stop the WMI service.
     sc config winmgmt start= disabled     (note that there is a blank between '=' and 'disabled')
     net stop winmgmt
2. Rename the repository folder (located at %windir%\System32\wbem\repository) to repository.old.
3. Re-enable the WMI service.
     sc config winmgmt start= auto
4. Reboot the server to see if the problem remains.
but we've had no Luck so far. Any help would be
appreciated!
Regards,
Torbjørn

Have you checked if DCOM is enabled, WMI will not be able to connect if its disabled.
Use the steps below to configure DCOM.
Run dcomcnfg.exe
Double-click Component Services
Double-click Computers
Right-click My Computer
Select Properties
Select Default Properties tab
Ensure the "Enable Distributed COM on this computer" checkbox is checked
Default Authentication Level: Connect
Default Impersonation Level: Identify
Next:
Click on COM Security tab
Click Edit Limits under "Launch and Acitvate Permissions"
Make sure Remote Launch and Activation permissions are enabled for the Administrators group
Hope this helps

Yes, in a last ditch effort to over come this access denied I made my Action Account a domain admin and configured the agent default account from local system to the domain action account. nothing has worked for me.

Hi David:
It worked fine previously. This has been installed a while ago ( a couple of years). We did have a couple of problems recently with corrupt data files. Deleting the concerned datafile and restarting Wily solved the problem. However I haven't a clue on how to get this going.
