System Center Service Manager 2012 SP1 upgrade install error

I am trying to upgrade my SCSM 2012 front end app server to SP1 and am getting these failures in the log when it fails with the error "Service Manager is not in a valid state"
09:07:58:Could not find WCS portal web site in IIS metabase!
09:08:02:***ERROR*** Microsoft System Center 2012 - Service Manager: Microsoft System Center 2012 - Service Manager is not in a valid state.
09:08:02:Application Ended
09:08:02:-222
Can someone tell me how to get this rectified? The WCS portal is installed and running and has been for months. The DW is upgraded but I cannot get the SharePoint self service portal or the App server to upgrade due to this error.

Hello
One question you have the website installed on the same
server on which you have the Server Management
Server, so if you can
not make your upgrade to
SP1, this changed because
a prerequisite of System Center Service
Manager 2012 SP1 in which you can not have
the server Mangement and
website on the same server they have to be
separate.

Someone sorted out this issue by installing API 1.2 and copying the dll files to the service manager server ,service folder and replacing it with API 2.0 dll files.
Also, your question is related to SCSM, please post at SCSM forum if you have further question.

Deploying Office 365 Pro Plus using System Center Configuration Manager 2012 SP1

Hello,
I am trying to deploy Office 365 Pro Plus to my client machines (more than 100) via. System Center Configuration Manager 2012 SP1. It will use one administrator account for installation. But as per the licensing, we can install Office for up to 5 PCs/Macs
and 5 more Windows tablets/iPads with one Office 365 Pro Plus licenses. If this is the case, then I cannot install Office 365 Pro Plus with one admin account to my 100+ machines, as it will violate the licenses of O365 Pro Plus.
So, what is the alternative approach?
Thanks
Raj

If this is the case, then I cannot install Office 365 Pro Plus with one admin account to my 100+ machines, as it will violate the licenses of O365 Pro Plus.
Hi,
this is incorrect.
There is no licensing restriction/control for the *installation* account at all, the licensing is related to who is *using* Office365ProPlus *after* installation is performed. This control, is implemented by the Microsoft Account, or OrgID, used to sign-in/activate
to Office365 when *using* Office365ProPlus.

How to check System Center Service manager 2012 R2 license version

Hi,
I have installed Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 Service manager 3months before but do not have remember whether I put permanent license key or evaluation, can anyone please let me know how can I check whether this is evaluation or permanent license?
Warm Regards, Pramod Kumar Singh Manager-IT

Hi,
During setup of the retail edition of System Center 2012 – Service Manager, you have the option of performing the installation without a product key and instead installing Service Manager as an evaluation edition. The evaluation
edition times out 180 days after installation. If you start with an evaluation version of Service Manager and you rerun Setup and install the retail edition or select edition, and you decide to use the existing databases that you created originally,
your installation will time out after the original expiration date.
I summarize the following steps and hopefully it will help you.
You could find the install date on :HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\System Center\2010\Service Manager\Setup"
Try to change the system time from install date to install date + 180days.
If you can't open the console again, you are evaluation Edition.
Rerun Setup to install Retail Edition or Select Edition.

Installed System Center Service Manager 2012 R2 and it crashes if I want to do any useful work with it.

Hi,
I installed SM Authoring Tool 2012 R2 on my laptop allong with Visual Studio Shell 2008 SP1.
After the installation, I tried using the Authoring Tool and when I try editing a class created by SM Authoring Tool 2012 RTS (e.g. the first version) it crashes -- or an entirely *new* class, the tool crashes and reboots itself.
Any idea how to even diagnose the problem, or what the cause is?

the first thing would be to turn on the output window in the authoring tool, and see if there is anything interesting or useful in there before your crash. with the tool open, go to View, Output window. this shows a running log of actions the authoring
tool takes inside visual studio shell and the responses.

How to Upgrade Service Manager 2012 SP1 with Windows 2008 R2 to SCSM 2012 R2 with Windows 2012 R2

Hi,
We are using Service Manager 2012 SP1 UR2 with Windows 2008 R2.
I am planning to upgrade Service Manager to R2 with Windows 2012 R2. I found the steps to upgrade SCSM 2012 Sp1 to R2 but need assistance to upgrade with 2012 R2 OS.
Please suggest how to achieve the above mentioned objective.
Regards, Syed Fahad Ali

Virtualization solves this problem handily, by allowing you to create a new server to run the new program on the same hardware. it also solves the related problem of moving off unsupported hardware without changing OS or application. VMware is my personal
favorite, but Hyper-V, Xen, and VirtualBox all have similar capabilities.
Compare the cost of work and confidence in success of a upgrade, where any of thousands or millions of uncontrolled settings could cause an issue, to the cost of work and confidence in success of installing a new OS instance and configuring a known state
for the new environment.
In short, upgrades should no longer be a thing. there are just too many ways they can go wrong, and it's far too easy to create a new OS with minimal expense and effort.

Service Manager 2012R2 - Hotfix for Service Manager 2012 SP1 secondary Management server

Can the hotfix for the issue described here -
http://blogs.technet.com/b/servicemanager/archive/2013/04/22/service-manager-2012-sp1-secondary-management-server-cannot-set-availability-on-a-health-service-that-doesn-t-exist.aspx
, be applied to a 2012R2 Service Manager environment?
My dilemma; In a Service Manager 2012 SP1 environment, I installed a secondary mgmt server, promoted it, then upgraded to R2. This R2 Primary mgmt server has the error described in the TechNet blog.
The reason this was done, the original primary mgmt server (2012 SP1) resided on the same server as the Portal. This original primary is still at 2012 SP1 with the System Center services disabled.
Again, can the hotfix for Service Manager 2012 SP1 secondary mgmt servers be applied to a Primary mgmt server (or environment, however the hotfix is run) server Service Manager 2012 R2?
Thank you,

Hi,
Hmm, you should probably log a case for this, but my first thought here would be to install a new SCSM 2012 R2 server and promote that one to the new Primary server, then remove the old ones.

I would check the package for any reference of the specific path to the C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012 path. Also have you run a ProcMon trace to see where the app is looking for the files? The certificate may be pointing to the C:\Program
Files Directory rather than the App-V path..

System Center - Service Manager Connecting with Configuration Manager

Hi,
I have System Center 2012 R2 - Service Manager and Configuration Manager (CM) installed, and i have created a connector from Service Manager (SM) to CM which imports data from CM. the question that i have is that is there two way communication
of the data between SM and CM.
Second question that i have is if i have created some change request in the SM, will it show up in the CM as what needs to be completed.
Thanks

wow, that's a big question.
Service Manager is a representational object database. there are objects in the database that represent objects in your environment. Most things in service manager are either Work Items (incident, change request, service request, etc) or config items (servers,
databases, software, users, domains, printers, locations, budget centers, purchase orders, workstations, hard drives, network cards, switches, business services, etc). there are a few other classifications, but for now, lets just deal with those two.
there are also relationships between those objects, showing how those objects interconnect. For instance, say i report a problem. in the database, the user config item object that represents me is related to the incident work item object that represents
my issue by the relationship System.WorkItemAffectedUser, Affected User.
the advantage of this approach is twofold: first, the Affect user on an incident isn't just a text field, it's actually the full object that represents me. so you can click on me and see everything about me that the system knows, and follow other relationships
to see my manager, etc. Second, because everything is related to the full object, i don't need to duplicate any info on the incident, just reference the related object.
So to address your first question, it does everything your IT environment does, assuming you tell it about it.
to your second question, it has whatever information you tell it. Here is where Connectors come into play. the AD connectors can get you Users, Computers, Printers, etc. the Config Manager connector will get you detailed systems info, hardware, and
software (if you have Asset Intelligence turned on). the Ops Manager will get you a lot more info about the systems, Service Maps, health state, etc. And then there's
Provance makes a lot of money selling the DMP to let Orgs import data from vendors. not to mention their Asset lifecycle stuff, or Cireson's for that matter.
TL;DR - a lot.

Management pack version difference in System Center - Operations Manager 2012 R2 - Help us.

Hi,
I have SC Operation manager 2012 r2 in my environment. It has managed with multiple management servers.
I have import some unsealed MPs through Ops SDK code and by manually using Operation manager console.
Here with i tried to install higher version of MPs and upgrade its version from 1.1.0.0 to 6.0.0.0.
case 1:
After successful installation of some MPs and check Operation manager console, it showing newly upgraded version(6.0.0.0).
Then i have import that MP and checked its version inside it showing 1.1.0.0(older version).
Here the imported MP has 1.1.0.0 version and console showing its version as 6.0.0.0.
Why it showing different versions in imported MP(inside xml) and Operations manager console view?
case 2:
After that i tried to import other MPs using console. But it showing below error;
Verification failed with 1 errors:
Error 1:
Found error in 2|Monitoring.ActiveDirectory_server|6.0.0.0|Monitoring.ActiveDirectory_server|| with message:
Could not load management pack [ID=Monitoring.Base, KeyToken=9e875220a3987e0b, Version=6.0.0.0]. The management pack was not found in the store.
: Version mismatch. The management pack ([Monitoring.Base, 9e875220a3987e0b, 1.1.0.0]) requested from the database was version 6.0.0.0 but the actual version available is 1.1.0.0.
Its happened in multiple management servers scenario. So Is any possibility to happen because of multiple management servers scenario?. There is no issues in this same MPs while i tried in single management server. These same MPs are imported and working
fine in single management server scenario.
Help me to solve these 2 issues!!
Thanks,
satheesh

1) At first, you should make sure that the imported MP has correct version. I will open the XML of the imported MP and check its current version e.g.
When you open the xml file of imported MP, the version number is shown as
<Manifest>
    <Identity>
        <ID>Microsoft.SystemCenter.Visualization.Component.Library.Resources</ID>
        <Version>1.0.0.2</Version>
    <Identity>
    <Name>Resources library</Name>
    <References>
        <Reference Alias="System">
        <ID>System.Library</ID>
        <Version>1.0.0.1</Version>
From the above sample, the imported MP version number is 1.0.0.2.
2) I am using operation console to import the management pack and check the version number in operations console whether it is updated to new version 1.0.0.2
3) Using operations console to export the MP which has imported in step 1) and open it to check what is the version number of MP. Make sure that the version is 1.0.0.2
4) If the above procedure provide a prefer match of version number, re-import all problematic MP.
5) At last, you may use the following SQL to check whether the correct version number of MP is stored in DB successful
select version, friendlyname from managementpackview where friendlyname like 'Microsoft.SystemCenter.Visualizatio%'
