System Center 2012 R2 VMM and guest NLB

Hello,
We have System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine manager deployed. Here is one issue related to the networking. In case of deploying guest 2 node NLB cluster (unicast mode) in VM properties we see that IP and MAC address settings are changed
to Dynamic. As result when we click on Connection details there is no information. Is it by design? Is there any way of deploying NLB clusters without VIP and Service templates? If you say no I have 2 questions: 1. How to migrate existing guest NLB cluster
into VMM and have Connection details information; 2. How about using Generation 2 vm's in service templates?
Thank you

If you deploy a NLB node by node, using VM templates, there's no out-of-the bpx way to create a NLB or a cluster, but you can use :
- VMM power-shell scripting : You can devlop a script that depoly 2 VMs than configure their IP
- Run once command that you can add via UI or via poweshell when deploying your VMs
In the P2V case, this is more tricky. In the case of a cluster or NLB P2V, you can:
- Place the first NLB/Cluster node in maintenance mode
- Convert this node using your P2V tool or VMM (before 2012 R2)
- Verify the network configuration and turn off the maintenance mode so the VM re-join the NLB/Cluster
- Place the second (Physical) NLB/Cluster node in maintenance mode
- Convert this node using your P2V tool or VMM (before 2012 R2)
- Verify the network configuration and turn off the maintenance mode so the VM re-join the NLB/Cluster
and so on for all your NLB/Cluster nodes

How to create a Domain user in a Specific OU using System Center 2012 R2 Orchestrator and Service Manager

Dear All,
I have a simple Runbook with the following details:
Initialize Data: (First Name, Last Name, Login Name, Deparment Name) --> Create User: Name:(Domain), Common Name, Display Name, First, Last Name, SAM Account Name (From Initialize Data) --> Enable
User: Distinguished Name --> Add User to Group: Group Distinguished Name, User Distinguished Name
Active Directory Management Pack in place and the Prerequisites Configurations are added Too (Configuration User Name, Configuration Password, Configuration DC, Configuration Default OU.
The Runbook is Synched with Service Manager, Request Offering/Service Offering and published to the portal.
When I filled the 4 required values (First Name, Last Name, Login Name, Deparment Name), the Runbook will kick off and the user is created in Active Directory.
The user is placed in the Default OU which is predefined in AD Prerequisites Configurations in Orchestrator.
I need to add another Required Value to my Request Offering (SR) called User Level Enum List (Low, Medium, High).
I need to place the user in a Specific OU based on the Level entered from SSPortal, If the user is Low, then Create the user in this OU, if the user is Medium then create it in this OU, etc...
How can I do this in Orchestrator? What I want to modify in my runbook to accomplish this task?
Thank you,

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

Can I use System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection in "Windows Server Remote Desktop Session Host" without buy the license ?

Can I use System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection in Azure Virtual Machine Gallary's "Windows Server Remote Desktop Session Host" without buy the System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection license ?
I want to protect my Azure RemoteApp against the malware.
System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection installed Azure Virtual Machine Gallary's "Windows Server Remote Desktop Session Host".
Now, I try to build Azure RemoteApp template by using the Azure Virtual Machine Gallary's "Windows Server Remote Desktop Session Host" .

Yoshihiro Kawabata

Hi Yoshihiro,
Unless and until Microsoft modifies the license terms for System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection and/or modifies the Online Services Terms (OST) and/or other document explicitly saying that use is included with the Azure RemoteApp (ARA) monthly
fee I recommend you assume as that it is
not included and license it separately for ARA if that is even possible, which is a separate question.
For licensing it is best to be cautious and make decisions based on the official documents that are available that govern use of the software and services involved. At this moment I'm not able to find a Microsoft document that grants use of System
Center 2012 Endpoint Protection with Azure RemoteApp.
When I first used the gallery template and noticed that Endpoint Protection was installed within it I had the same question as you. I will update this thread if/when I obtain more information.

It seems ConfigWsman failed .
I would suggest you to perform a check for SCVMM installation environment via running scvmm configuration analyzer:

Team Foundation Server 2010 and System Center 2012 SP1 Operations Manager WorkItem Synchronization fail

Hello,
We are currently implementing a Devops solution with SCOM 2012 SP1 and TFS 2010 SP1 and we would like to synchronize APM alerts with TFS and the Operational Issue WorkItem. However we are not
able to sync anything.
Here is our environments :
Products :
SCOM
System Center Operations Manager 2012 SP1

DB: SCOM SQL Server 2012 SP1 x64

OS: Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Std x64

DB: TFS SQL Server 2008 x64
TFS 2012 Object Model Installer (We have also try the version 2010)
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.

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:

System Center 2012 R2 install: SQL server Data file and log file

This might be a dumb question, but I can't find the answer anywhere.
I'm installing a new instance of System Center 2012 R2 on a new server, I'm stuck on the SQL Server data file section. Everytime I put in a path, it says that tne path does not exist. I'm I supposed to be creating some sort of SQL Server
data file and log file before this installation, I didn't get this prompt when installing System Center 2012 SP1 or hen I upgraded from System Center 2012 SP1 to System Center 2012 R2
My SQL is on a different server
Thank you in advanced

Have you reviewed the setup.log?
On a side note, why would you put the database file on the same drive as the OS? That defeats the whole purpose of having a remote SQL Server. Why use a remote SQL Server in the first place.

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:

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.

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?

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

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

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.
