SCOM 2012 SP1 - Automating alert ownsership with command channel notification: the command keeps executing

Hello everyone,
here is the context: one of my client wants that, when a SCOM operator changes the resolution state of an alert to a specific resolution state "XYZ", the alert's ownership is automatically set to this user's AD Account.
What I did:
a PoSh script that takes the alert ID as a parameter, extracts the user ID from the alert's history - get-scomalerthistory - and sets the alert's owner field with this ID - set-scomalert -owner.
a command channel running the script
a subscription that triggers for alert with the specific resolution state "XYZ"
It works great the first time - when the user sets the alert to XYZ state. Problems come right after this as it seems that modifying the alert in anyway - via GUI or script - will trigger the subscription once again.
So, in fact, I need the subscription to trigger only when the alert CHANGES its resolution state to XYZ.
Does anyone have an idea about this ?
Reagrds,
P. Augras

Hi, it's predictable behavior as your script updates the alert property but alert property matches criteria specified. So one of methods is to change the resolution state in script to another state, something like XYZProcessed.

SCOM 2012 SP1 "Task invocation failed with error code -2146232576"

Hi,
I`m trying to discover a Linux RHEL 5.9 Server which is in another untrusted domain and from the Discovery wizard I receive the following error:
Task invocation failed with error code -2146232576. Error message was 0x80131700.
Any ideas ?
Greetings.

Hi,
@Simon, I restart the SCOM services and I also verify the UAC and it's disabled.
@Mai Ali, thank you for you reply. I don't have a "&" symbol in my password, but only a "$" ..I hope it's fine.
If the SCOM discovery doesn't work, I installed the agent manually on the Linux server.
BTW I also use a "monuser" account configured using this procedure:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/7375.configuring-sudo-elevation-for-unix-and-linux-monitoring-with-system-center-2012-operations-manager.aspx
I also verify the ports 22 and 5723 and are opened, but I also noticed that if you restart the scxadmin, is listening on HTTPS on port 1207.
Now..if I try to re-discover the Linux server from SCOM, I receive the following error:
"The pool managing the instance is not available or the location monitoring object cannot be found"

SCOM 2012 SP1 Web Transaction Monitoring with Login test.

Hi,
we setup a web transaction monitor test and did the full recording. The web site is one that accepts an active directory account for login. We also setup a runas account that is a valid account for the site and configured NTLM in the settings
for authetication and set this runas account.
The test does not fail.    However when we change the runas account password to force a failure, we dont get a failure on the website login test but instead a runas account verfication failure from SCOM.
How can we configure the web transaction monitor to properly login during the test?   Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks Lance

So back to the original topic of the thread.
We setup another test on a site that uses basic authentication. We setup the web transaction test to use a login on a initial site that transfers to a second site. We recorded this entire test and saved. It seems to work as it gives
no errors.
However when we change the Runas account's credentials, which means it CANT login to the site, it still runs fine with no errors.
This tells me it is not really logging in but just seeing the http status code is less than 400.
What am I doing wrong.
Thanks Lance

SCOM 2012 SP1 failed to send notifications by IM Channel

Hello, I have a problem with my SCOM 2012 SP1. When it tries to send notification by IM Channel I get the following alert in SCOM:
Notification subsystem failed to send notification using
device/server 'live.august.ru:5060' over 'sip' protocol to
'sip:[email protected]'.
Microsoft.Rtc.Signaling.OperationFailureException: The GetInbandDataAsyncResult
operation has failed with message: "The data session subscription to server

At the same time the following event in the Application Event Log generates on the server with IM service:
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: Live Communications Server Authentication
Event Category: (1003)
Event ID: 16435
User: N/A
Computer: LCS
Description:
At least one invalid authentication signature was detected.
There were 2 messages with invalid signatures in the last 7112 minutes. The last one had the FROM header: sip:[email protected]
Cause: This could be due to a client or server which is not handling authentication correctly, or it could be due to an attacker.
Resolution:
None needed unless the failure count is high (>100). Check your network for any rogue clients. Restart the server if problem persists.
Notifications sent by the SMTP channel work fine!
I Have the following Servers:
LCS (live.august.ru) - Win 2003 EE SP2 + Live Communication Server 2005 SP1
SCOM - Win 2012 + SCOM 2012 SP1
Also I have a third server (Win 2003 + SCOM 2007 R2) and it sends notifications to the same VMLCS server successfully. The configurations of IM Channels are identical on both servers:
IM server: live.august.ru
Return address: sip:[email protected]
Protocol option: TCP
Authentication method: Kerberos
IM port: 5060
I tried to change the Authentication method to NTLM, and the port to 5061, but it doesn't help...

SCOM 2012 SP1 Upgrade

Hello,

After both failed upgrades, I had to re-install SCOM 2007. How can I get the upgrade to complete? The prerequisites have been installed.

So try to change the SQL database Compatibility Level to SQL 2008 (100):
1. Open SQL Server Management Studio
2. Connect to the SQL server hosting the Operations Manager Databases
3. Expand Databases, Right Click on OperationsManager and click properties
4. Click Options, Change the Compatibility level: drop down to SQL Server 2008 (100), Click OK
5. Right Click on OperationsManagerDW and click properties, Click Options
6. Change the Compatibility level: drop down to SQL Server 2008 (100), Click OK

SCOM 2012 SP1 Upgrade - RMS fine but can't upgrade reporting or web console

Hi,
We've just upgraded our RMS to SCOM 2012 SP1 and everything went smoothly as per the documentation. However when I next try to upgrade the Reporting or Web Consoles (located on separate servers) to SP1 I am presented with a message saying:
"The management server to which this component reports has not been upgraded".
At that point we cannot proceed past the prerequisite checker.
I am totally confident that the SP1 upgrade went through on the RMS and all file versions are at SP1.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks,
Tim

Hi Retee,
I was not able to find a fix for this but I did find a workaround.
1. I copied the installation files from the SCOM 2012 SP1 DVD/ISO to a folder, SCOM_2012_INSTALL on the reporting server.
2. Browsed to the following folder ..\SCOM_2012_INSTALL\setup\AMD64\ and commented out the following section of the IntermilestoneUpgradePrereqs.xml file:

3. Ran ..\SCOM_2012_INSTALL\setup.exe and the upgrade was successful.
Our SCOM infrastructure has now been at 2012 R2 for a couple of months and I have not seen any issues caused by commenting out this section. But as always, use at your own risk.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Iain

SCOM 2012 SP1 Can't get email alerts for Heartbeat Failure or Computer Unreachable when combined with Group.

Hello,
I have SCOM 2012 SP1 RTM POC lab. I have created a dynamic group that picks up my system center servers based on some simple criteria and this works fine.
I have set up a subscription for critical and high severity alerts originating from this dynamic group called SCOM Servers to send emails to a distribution. This also worked well for any critical alert that was NOT Heartbeat Failure or Computer Unreachable.
I see those in the console but no email.
So I set up a new subscription by right clicking on the alerts and here's the kicker. If add no other conditions to these subscriptions, they will send emails to the DL I provided, but if add the condition initiating from group, and specify my dynamic
group SCOM servers, no email alert. But the alert still appears in the console.
Any ideas on this? I would like the appropriate support groups to get these types of alerts for the servers that they support (i.e. SCOM will get SCOM servers, Exchange Admin will get Exchange and never the two roads shall meet.).
I even tried some internet posted custom management pack, but I couldn't import it after adding the code that he listed.
I mean, isn't this a basic requirement for any mid-sized company?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Donald,
Like Dan says you need to add the "Health Service Watcher" objects to the groups as wel. Unfortunately this cannot be done in the Dynamic group Editor but has to be done in the XML. Export the XML and add the following piece of code between the
lines </MembershipRule></MembershipRules>:
<MembershipRule>
<MonitoringClass>$MPElement[Name="SystemCenter!Microsoft.SystemCenter.HealthServiceWatcher"]$</MonitoringClass>
<RelationshipClass>$MPElement[Name="MicrosoftSystemCenterInstanceGroupLibrary7084300!Microsoft.SystemCenter.InstanceGroupContainsEntities"]$</RelationshipClass>
<Expression>
<Contains>
<MonitoringClass>$MPElement[Name="SystemCenter!Microsoft.SystemCenter.HealthService"]$</MonitoringClass>
      <Expression>
<Contained>
<MonitoringClass>$MPElement[Name="MicrosoftWindowsLibrary7084300!Microsoft.Windows.Computer"]$</MonitoringClass>
          <Expression>
            <Contained>
              <MonitoringClass>$Target/Id$</MonitoringClass>
            </Contained>
          </Expression>
        </Contained>
      </Expression>
    </Contains>
</Expression>
</MembershipRule>
Save the XML delete the old one in OpsMgr and import the edited.
For SP1 the SystemLibrary version is 7.0.8430.0. If this is not your version you need to edit this in the code above.
Hope this helps,

SCOM 2012 SP1 - PowerShell Script failed to run - 3 alerts appear after every reboot of the SCOM Server

Brand new SCOM 2012 SP1 install with Update Rollup 1 applied
Single server, local SQL install, SQL Server 2012 SP1
Hyper-V VM running on Server 2012. VM has 8GB Ram, single vCPU
Going through initial management pack importing and configuration, at this point I have the Windows Server 2012 and SQL 2012 MP's installed.
See screenshot
http://i.imgur.com/l0Molh1.png
I am getting the following alerts in my SCOM console and cannot find a resolution to fix the issue. I don't want to set an override, as an override will prevent the PowerShell alert in other instances, where I might want to receive an alert.
Looking at the alert description, it states "The Data Access service is either not running or not yet initialized"
The SCOM Console launches and responds fine, and I get no other errors. I check the Data Access service and it is online. I have left the system alone for a couple of hours and no other errors. I then closed those alerts and restarted the
server, and they came right back in, so I know that this is something that is happening at either server startup of during the start of the SCOM services.
Is it possible that SCOM is trying to execute these scripts and the Data Access service has not come online yet?
Has anyone else come across this before?

Please try the method in the following thread:
Note: As there is operations related to Registry, please perform a backup before doing this.

Non supported version of SQL with new install of SCOM 2012 SP1

I have SQL 2012 SP1 running on Server 2012. I have tried the SCOM installation with and without CU2 (to fix the 1618 installation error)
SC VMM installed cleanly and appears to work.
The install for SCOM produces an error that says, "The installed version of SQL Server is not supported". I have not been able to find any log from the install that has that error in it.
Also, I have not been able to determine the true requirements of the SQL server for SCOM. (I found dock SCOM 2012 RTM and SQL 2008 R2, but noting for 2012 SP1.
Can someone point me to the correct place for the install log with (hopefully more information) and/or the requrements for the SQL installation?
Roy

The log is not created yet because it has not started the install.
The firewall is the most common issue indeed. Temporarily Disable the firewall and see whether you can continue.
Are you using a developers edition? The only 2 editions supported are standard and Enterprise.
The true requirements for SCOM 2012 sp1:
We recommend that you check for updates and hotfixes for SQL Server. Note the following database considerations for Operations Manager:
SQL Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2012 are available in both Standard and Enterprise editions. Operations Manager will function with both editions.
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.
SQL Server collation settings for all databases must be one of the following: SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, French_CI_AS, Cyrillic_General_CI_AS, Chinese_PRC_CI_AS, Japanese_CI_AS, Traditional_Spanish_CI_AS, or Latin1_General_CI_AS. No other collation
settings are supported.
The SQL Server Agent service must be started, and the startup type must be set to automatic.
Side-by-side installation of System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 reporting and System Center 2012 Service Pack 1 (SP1), Operations Manager reporting on the same server is not supported.
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 – Operations Manager, you should move the tempdb database to a separate disk that has multiple spindles. For more information, see
tempdb Database.

Hi Kirpal
Can you try this it might help as its an known issue of getting event id 's 26361,26380 try out & lets see if it helps.
The manifest files are located on the RMS at the \Program Files\System Center Operations Manager 2007\ root directory. The manifest files will need to be edited for the config and sdk service on affected RMS. The file names are:
Microsoft.Mom.Sdk.ServiceHost.exe.config
Microsoft.Mom.ConfigServiceHost.exe.config
In between the EXISTING <runtime> and </runtime> lines – you need to ADD a NEW LINE with the following:
<generatePublisherEvidence enabled="false"/>
This solution disables CRL checking for the specified execute-ables, permanently.

Just make sure you backup all SCOM related (databases if local, management packs etc).

Manage DPM servers, running DPM jobs, etc from SCOM 2012 SP1

Hi,
Little background about our systems.
We have a dedicated SCOM 2012.
We have 22 DPM servers, DPM 2010 and DPM 2012 (we are upgrading to 2012 SP1, we have customers that still using Windows 2003 servers) to be managed by SCOM
We have a few DPM servers that are not located on the same domain as the SCOM server (untrusted domain).
Some problem we have
1. When we try to manage the DPM servers from the SCOM server.
From SCOM 2012 server I can “Manage DPM server” that are located in our domain but I cannot manage DPM servers located on untrusted domains (customer’s domains). I receive the below error message
"Unable to connect to <untrusted domain DPM SERVER> ID: 948
Verify that the DPM service is running on this computer"
I guess it’s because the account that I’m using to run SCOM server located in our domain and does not have the permission to open the DPM console on the untrusted domain. So I wonder if it is possible to use “RUN AS profiles/accounts”
to solve this issue, and how?
2. I have installed SCOM 2012 Operations Manager Console on my computer and then installed DPM Central Console.
When I select one dpm server (from my computer), that is on our domain, and then click “Manage DPM server” I got this error message
"Unable to connect to <our domain DPM SERVER> ID: 33333
1. Verify that the DPM service is running on this computer (YES)
2. Verify that the current user has been added to at least one of the roles in Operations Manager. (YES)
3. Open Operations Manage console and then try launching the DPM Console (THAT IS WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO)
4. If you have re-imported the management pack recently, the role configuration may be corrupt. Open the DPM-specific roles and check if the roles have task assigned to them. If not, delete the roles and recreate the...."
When I click on “Get more information” I get this error message.
"You don´t have access permission to connect to the System Center Data Access service on <SCOM SERVER>. Please check if it is a permission issue".....
Do you know why I cannot connect to any DPM server on our own domain?
Why do I get access permission error on my computer but not on the SCOM server (using the same account)?
What should we do to be able to connect to DPM servers that are on untrusted domain?
3. Is it possible to see Last Recovery Point date/time in SCOM alerts?
For me it is the first thing I look at. If it has failed 10 min ago it is not critical.
But if it is a date and time more than 1 day old, then it is critical.
I hope someone can help us with this
Br
SvBoho

Hi,
To manager DPM, I think we may need to add the account to local admin group of the DPM server.
In addition, to connect to DPM the user needs permissions to DPM/SQL Server DPMDB.
For your DCs, have your enabled agent proxy option? If not, please enable that option for all DCs.
To monitor DPM with SCOM, please also go through the below links:

Performance of Network Monitoring in SCOM 2012 SP1

Hi all!
I´ve problems with performance of the network monitoring feature in SCOM 2012 SP1.
According to the
guide the following should be adeqate:
•1000 network devices (approximately 12,500 monitored ports) managed by a resource pool that has three or more management servers
•500 network devices (approximately 6,250 monitored ports) managed by a resource pool that has two or more gateway servers
We have 800 network devices with a total of 24000 ports,
BUT only 1500 of them are monitored. This is basically what happens automatically after discovery, since only ports between monitored devices are monitored by default.
For this setup I first used only one management server dedicated to the Network Pool,
based on my assumption that if two servers could monitor 6250 ports, one server would be more than enough for 1500. I found this configuration working very poorly so I added another server. I now have two servers
dedicated for the Network Resource Pool. (They are NOT members of the “All management servers resource pool”)
Still, I get constant alerts regarding Health Services Private Bytes on these servers. They vary between 1-2Gbytes. Furthermore, if one of the servers goes offline, the network devices that was monitored by that server becomes grey for
several hours. Even if the server only is rebooted it takes forever to get everything online and green again.
I don´t really know what I should do now. I had a plan to replace our current network monitoring system (SNMPc) which easily handles this load on only one server. They are of course completely different beasts, but still. SCOM seems to
require a massive back-end to produce equivalent real life results.
Any suggestions or reflections from the field are highly appreciated!
Regards
Peter

Hi,
Try to overide the monitor Health Services Private Bytes by the following steps.
◾Go Authoring space – Management Pack Objects – Monitors
◾Go to change scope – select clear all – look for Health Service – tick it and press OK.
◾Expand Health Service – expand Entity Health – expand Performance – expand Health Service Performance
◾Select the Health Health Service Private Bytes Threshold.
◾Right click the mouse and choose to overide the monitor for a group
◾Select the group called Management Server Computer Group and press OK
◾Select the Agent Performance Monitor Type – Threshold and change the value 104857600 to ex. 2610612736.
◾Select to store the overide in a management pack you have created and press OK

SCOM 2012 SP1 Notifications - Escalation

Hi,
I am looking to implement a tiered notification, with escalation..so for example..
Initial alert hits Email Group
Unresolved after 30 mins text sent to on call engineer
Unresolved after a further 60 mins all engineers receive text
Is this possible to configure in scom 2012 sp1?
Thanks
Gareth

Hi,
You can try this Process if still not done…
We assume that you have created one Group in SCOM and added respective servers or devices into that group. (Explicit or dynamic member)
We assume that for each level of notification you have created distribution list in
AD or Exchange and added those DL in to SCOM Subscriber
Also assume that mail delivery channel is created in SCOM
Subscription 1:
In Condition, Select
Raised by any instance in specific group and specify group name in Criteria
Also you can specify
severity, priority and resolution state
–if required.
Add Immediate Alert Subscriber’s Distribution list ( Ex:-
Helpdesk Team DL)
In Channels, select Email Channel which you create already also selects
Send notifications without delay

Add All Engineers Distribution list ( Ex:-
L2 Support Team DL)
In Channels, select Email Channel which you create already also selects
Delay sending notifications if conditions remain unchanged for longer than (in minutes) and specify the time as you mentioned 60 minutes

All three subscriptions
severity, priority
and resolution state should select the same if you specified otherwise no need to worry.
Above steps will solve your query i think.
