System Center 2012 Gateway servers capabilities

We're looking into using System Center Operations manage and I have a couple of questions.. We have a number of environments that will need gateway servers. Can gateway servers be configured to send email notifications via an SMTP server or do all alerts
come from management servers? Also, can a gatway server be behind a NAT?
Thanks
Les

Gateway servers are used to enable agent-management of computers that are outside the Kerberos trust boundary of management groups, such as in a domain that is not trusted. And can be used to managed agent, generate Alerts and can be behind NAT. but you
won't need NAT because it's only need port 5723,

How to access for Virtual machines in System Center 2012 r2 by remote console through code?

Hi All,
I am new in System Center. I am using System Center 2012 R2. I have a web application written by dot net, which shows the list of virtual machines created in the SCVMM. Now, I need to select a Virtual Machine from the list, and click a link named "console
access". This will allow the console access to the virtual machine. How can I perform this task?
Thanks in advance,
Moohak

The SCVMM VM console is an ActiveX application.
It is installed with the SCVMM Console application.
If you search around for the old SCVMM Self Service portal, you will discover how MSFT originally enabled this from a web front end.
If you look at Windows Azure Pack you will find a new pattern using RDP gateway.

System Center Advisor Gateway requirements

What kind of machine should we use for the System Center Advisor Gateway?
I can find anything that mentions that. We dont really want to use one of our mgmt servers.
Thanks
Thanks Lance

The purpose of System Center Advisor Gateway is sending data to the web service and to receive updated configuration information from the web service in behalf of agent. when you plan the Advisor gateway requirement, the file space of the server is
the most critical factor to consider.
The factors should be consider:
1) number of agents per gateway
2) The average size of the data transfer from the agent to gateway per day.
3) Archival period for keeping data on the gateway
By default each agent uploads CAB files to the gateway twice per day. The size of the CAB files depends on the configuration of the machine (such as number of SQL engines and number databases) and the health of the machine (e.g. the number of alerts generated).
In most cases, the daily upload size is typically less than 100 KB.
e.g. daily upload size: 100KB per agent
number of agents: 5
archival period: 5 days(default)
estimated space required: 5 x 100KB x 5 ~ 2500KB

System Center 2012 - 180 days expired

Hi,I have the following question.
I've installed System Center 2012 evaluation version and it will expire in 90 days.
If I would like to restart again the 180 days, can I uninstall System Center and install again the evaluation version on the server so that the 180 days count starts again?
Thanks
Anna

Hi
For SCOM it would not work, because the licensing data is stored in the database. If you would reinstall the Management Servers it would just pull the data out of the database and therefore it would be expired again.
As far I know the only way to get a Version longer than the eval period is adding a license key
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2699998/en-us .
Using the pre-configured VHD might be another Option

How to fix this error?

For anyone else, you may need to reset any failed jobs statusid back to 3 after you run the script from
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn299381.aspx (first
issue)
and after that run your jobs in correct order.
I had to reset the statusid for DWMaintenence and common.load.

Reg : System center 2012 R2 - H/W Configuration

Is there any minimal H/W configuration to set up the System center 2012 R2 other than the H/W configuration available at "http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn726764.aspx".
Thanks is advance
Darius James

Yes, I understand that, it is a good guide to state the Hardware Requirements. But for an Evaluation, no one can set up around 84 GB of RAM and all servers. There should be some minimal configurations to evaluate.

Password for the System Center 2012 R2 Orchestrator Evaluation VHD

I recently downloaded the Evaluation VHD for System Center 2012 R2 Orchestrator. After performing the initial setup, I am unable to log in with the credentials that i had provided initially for the Administrator. I faced a similar situation while working
with Evaluation VHD for System Center 2012 R2 App Controller. In that case, after some searches I found 'R2Preview!' as its default password. I have already tried other passwords - P@ssword1, P@ssword, p@ssword1, password1, blank password.
I hope someone can help me with this !

FYI Update Rollup 3 for Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 - Virtual Machine Manager (KB2965413) Stops SCVMM service starting

I just applied update:
Update Rollup 3 for Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 - Virtual Machine Manager (KB2965413)
and (KB2965414) but it failed to install.
After a reboot I could not login to the VMM and the service would not start
An event id 0 was reported with:

After I removed the update the VMM was able to start, no reboot required.
When I have time I will try to apply both updates again successfully and see if the issue still occurs.

FYI. I've had the same issue after I installed Update Rollup 3 (KB2965413), seeing the exact same error on event log. Tried to start the service manually, getting service unable to start error. This is a machine running
with Windows Server 2012 Standard. Solution for me is simple. I just install
KB2965414 (Update Rollup 3 for SCVMM 2012 R2), reboot the server, and the SCVMM service auto start up by itself.

Error message while upgrading to System Center 2012 R2 Orchestrator

I recently tried upgrading System Center 2012 Service Pack 1 Orchestrator to System Center 2012 R2 Orchestrator on a Windows Server 2012 instance, running in VMware Workstation. According to the Microsoft TechNet documentation, you basically remove all of
the Service Pack 1 Orchestrator components, and then install the new R2 Orchestrator components.
Management Service
Runbook Service
Orchestrator console and web service
So, that's what I did. When it got to the point of running the Orchestration Console and Web Service installation, it failed.
The relevant portion of WebComponents.msi log file indicates the following:

Have you installed AppController on the same machine with VMM?

Problem in the first run of "System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager – Evaluation (VHD)"

Hi All,
I need to evaluate the "System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager" so I downloaded the Evaluation VHD from this URL:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40844
I downloaded all the 13x ISO images and used the supplied SC2012_R2_SCOM_EVALVHD.exe to
rebuild the VHD file. I am using Windows Server 2012 Standard.
As indicated by the install instructions, I used “OM2012R2_VHDEval.docx"
to create the Virtual Machine to run Operations Manager. Problems:
1) when I first connected to the Virtual Machine just created in Hyper-V, there was a cmd window saying that was impossible to connect to the domain I provided. i think the domain was correct. Is this error a showstopper or the Operation Manager should be
able to run anyway?
2) To run Operation Manager on the Virtual Machine, the install guide says "On the desktop of the virtual machine, double-click the
Operations Manager Console folder. Operations Manager Console
folder provides access to different parts of Operations Manager. Double-click
Operations Console to open the Operations Manager console."
so I did click on the Operation Console icon but it says the file does not exist in the Virtual Machine. How is that possible if this is a prepackaged Virtual Machine ready to use for evaluation? I checked the pointed folder and actually inside "c:\Program
Files" there is no System Center folder at all..?
Any help would be much appreciated, I'm kind of lost at the moment and not sure how to get started with this (to me) new software.
Thansk.

Here is our configuration :
TFS Platform
This a French platform with a project based on the Process Template SCRUM 1.0 alone in a Team Project collection. The Operational Issue import completed successfully. It’s possible to manipulate
Operational Issue for all of its states from TFS.
SCOM Platform
We followed the documentation at :
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj883936.aspx
to configure SCOM Alert Attachment and Operation Manager Tfs Work Item Synchronization. Everything seems to be ok. All configurations succeed. We did not configure Intellitrace collector.
The problem occurs when we are trying to push an APM alert to TFS. When we assigned an alert to the Engineering nothing is synchronized in TFS. There is no error in the event viewer on the TFS
server. But, on the SCOM server we get 2 exceptions raised by Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Modules.Apm.TfsWISync.OMModules. We provide you the log of the SCOM Server in this mail.
Detailed exceptions :

According to you, is there a possible incompatibility of the synchronization system with French environments?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
To monitor the complete TFS infrastructure, you need additional monitoring packs that alert you about a wide range of problems with TFS components. When you import the TFS Work Item Synchronization management pack, it is a best practice to
also import and configure these monitoring packs, you can double check these:

Configuration issue on two items for system center 2012 config manager

My first issue was at the beginning of the install trying to extend the AD schema for system center 2012 config manager version 7.5.1561.0. The
path is missing for SMSSetup\Bin\x64\ to execute
Extadsch.exe is not on my disc. There is only a x86 and 64 bit folder with no bin.
Second issue when creating configuration manager connector. Error connecting to the database. So i went to my sqlserver and checked the permissions on the account I did notice that there are no smsdbrole_extract role permissions. Did I miss a step somewhere
along the way? On a side not that this is an instance and not under the default place. Also, i am using sql 2008 R2 version.

OK, nothing wrong with that per se, but it has nothing to do with ConfigMgr. Also, ConfigMgr is not a "module", it's a distinct product unto itself with its own unique requirements and dependencies that is also architecturally completely different. So,
there's nothing to uninstall to install ConfigMgr. Also, I hope you're not trying to install these products on the same server. That is OK for a small lab environment, but nothing more. Even then, I wouldn't do it since its never something you'd do in production.
As mentioned, each product has its own unique dependencies with no true overlap.
