System Center 2012 R2 Requirements

Hi guys,
Currently I wish to use System Center 2012 R2 - Operations Manager Server to monitor my Hyper-V hosts (8 Physical Machines) and guests (50 Virtual Machines).
Would also like to use System Center 2012 R2 - ConfigMgr to manage about 500 computers.
Which Server 2012 edition and System Center 2012 R2 edition should I use?
Thanks guys!!

Hi,
To monitor Hyper-v and VMs, we should import Hyper-v management pack.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36438
This management pack is for Hyper-v 2012, it provides the following functionality:
• Management of critical Hyper-V services that affect virtual machines and host server functionality
• Management of host server logical disks that affect virtual machine health
• Full representation of virtualization in a single Hyper-V host server, including virtual networks, and virtual machines
• Monitoring of virtual machine hardware components that affect availability
In addition, here is a smilar thread, please go through it:

  • System Center 2012 R2 Config Manager requirements

    Looking to deploy System Center 2012 R2 and have been musing over system requirements. There was slight thud as my jaw hit the floor when I discovered a standalone primary environment (SQL installed on same server as Config Manager) required 32GB of memory!
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh846235.aspx
    You would lucky if we had 200 clients. Am I really going to have to assign 32GB of my virtual hosts memory to the server?
    I had earmarked 8GB, will this suffice? What is the minimum I can get away with??
    Thanks in advance!
    Steve

    Thanks for the responses folks.
    One other question. I am aware that there are co-existence limitations with some of the other Server components (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn281928.aspx) but
    (bearing these in mind) can I install other components on my Configuration Manager Server? VMM for example.
    If the answer is yes, I would assume I would need even more resources on the Server as well?
    Regards,

  • 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:

    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. 

  • 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.

  • UCS Management Pack for System Center 2012 OpsMgr add monitor wizard error

    We're successfully using the 2.6.0.179 version of the UCS Management Pack for System Center 2012 Operations Manager in our 2012 SP1 OpsMgr environment; however, in the new 2012 R2 OpsMgr environment we've stood-up and in which we installed the 2.6.2.0 version of the UCS MP, we're getting an error when trying to run the Add Monitoring Wizard under the Management Pack Templates node of the Authoring pane. We get the same error from the 2.6.1.0 version of the UCS MP as well. The text of the error is as follows:
    "The page [Cisco.UCS.MP.UI.Proxy.Template.Page.ProxyDetailsPage] in the assembly [Cisco.UCS.MP.UI.Culture="",PublicKeyToken="6c96076cdf2c87a",Version="2.6.0.0"] could not be loaded. Please make sure that the account you are running under has sufficient privileges to load the given assembly, or the management pack that defines this page is installed or the assembly containing the page is in the path of the executible or that the page derives from known Operations Manager page type."
    I'm an admin user in OpsMgr, so this should not be a user privilege issue, and that leaves the MP itself. The fact that a 2.6.0.0 version is mentioned makes me wonder if the base version of the MP must be installed before the 2.6.2 version. I'd test this, but we no longer have that version, and its no longer available for download from Cisco that I can see.
    Has any dealt with this issue successfully, or have any insight into the problem?

    Solved...the requirement is that you must do the MP configuration from the SCOM console on the SCOM Management Server where you installed the Cisco UCS MP; you can't do it from a SCOM console on a remote computer like I was trying to do.

    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.

  • System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection - any user may reboot Windows Server

    Hello,
    I've got System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection client installed on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Terminal Server. I've just noticed that if System Center Endpoint Protection detects some malware that requires system restart in order to successfully clean it,
    the notification will be seen by all logged users on Terminal Server and if anyone will press on "Restart" than the Server will reboot even if User hasn't the required permission and I think this is totally unacceptable, Microsoft has to do something
    about it. In all situations only an Administrator should have the right to restart the Server.
    Please fix this issue asap, thank you.

    While there is no setting that just controls the 'SCEP needs to reboot', there are other settings that might help.
    Have you tried setting "Disable the client user interface" to Yes on the antimalware policy?  How about "Show notifications messages..."?  I don't have a way to reproduce the behavior you were seeing, but maybe you can give it a shot.
    I understand why Microsoft would want to give non-admin users a prompt to reboot a machine that needs it to remove malware.  This is the typical scenario for most workstations. However, your exception with a terminal server is definitely something that
    needs a workaround. 
    If you put in Connect feedback asking for a discreet setting to control this, please post a link to it.
    I hope that helps,

  • Microsoft System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection compared to Sophos endpoint protection.

    Hi All,
    We are currently running Sophos Enterprise Console with Sophos Endpoint protection in our environment. We use most of the Sophos functionality with Device Control, Application Control, Disk Encryption and Tamper Protection. We are looking to move to
    Microsoft System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection, but is not sure if the Microsoft product will be able to offer us the same functionality as the Sophos product with the same level of protection.
    I have done some research and found that we will have to implement MDOP with System Center to come close to achieve our Sophos functionality. Is this true? Or can everything be centrally managed?
    Please advise with suggestions before we get rid of Sophos will be highly appreciated.

    Most third-party security vendors have multiple products that they bundle together. You need to sit down and define your requirements in terms of functionality and features and then map those to Microsoft's offerings. Trying to find equivalent "products"
    won't really work.
    You also need to look at the cost. It's quite possible that many of the required MS technologies are available to you through your EA. This is the way to sell a strategy like this to your business.
    Simply comparing product features won't work. It should be a combination of
    1. what do I actually need?
    2. what will it cost?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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:

  • 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.

    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.
