Windows Server Print Server 2012 R2 MP Not Alerting on Unhealthy Printers

I just spun up a 2012 R2 print server, added some printers (both healthy and unhealthy), installed the SCOM 2012 R2 agent and installed the Windows Server Print Server 2012 R2 MP (all in a test environment). I wanted to demonstrate the value add of this
MP and I made the assumption that we could alert on unhealthy printers, but I'm not seeing any alerts. I have 7 printers total; 1 is offline, 1 has low toner and 1 is out of paper.  I would think that at least one of them should generate an alert
based on the performance monitors present and enabled in the MP.
I checked the MP guide but can't find any answers.  Does anyone out there have any tips or suggestions for getting printer queue alerts working in the new Print Server 2012 R2 MP?

Thank you for your quick reply.
Yes, the printers were discovered by the management pack but all appear healthy even though a few definitely aren't per the Print Management console.  I checked the print server for events associated with unhealthy printers but either there aren't any
or we don't have logging turned up high enough for that.  The management pack guide refers to this appendix (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd206713.aspx) and I've looked
for the Run Monitoring Rule to edit the script but I think this is a reference to an earlier version of the MP and/or a 2003 print server.
It appears all the pieces to accomplish this are present and that I'm just missing a configuration in the MP (hopefully just an override that has eluded me).  Any further insight would be greatly appreciated.

  • Why does my Cisco router firewall block Windows Server 2012 traffic, but not Windows Server 2008 traffic?

    Hello,
       I run a small business network with five physical servers: three Dell servers running Windows Server 2008 R2, one custom build running 2008, and another custom build running 2012 with Domain Controller Role (same hardware for both custom builds). 
    The Dell servers are all running the Hyper-V role and each has a number of 2008 VMs.  I also have a 2012 VM with the Domain Controller Role on one of the Hyper-V servers and another VM with a completely base install of 2012.
       All servers are plugged into a Cisco SG300-52 switch which is uplinked to a Cisco 881 router which is connected to a cable TWC provided Ubee cable modem.  I have no VLANs setup.  I do have the Firewall on the router configured
    to inspect most traffic.
       Here is my problem:  I cannot connect to most of the internet on ANY 2012 server (and all exhibit the exact same behavior), but I have NO problems connecting to the internet from 2008 servers.  Here is what I already know:
       1.) I can ping the outside world just fine so ICMP is passing to any external host.
       2.) Two of the 2012 servers are DCs running DNS services and they can connect to the internet just fine for DNS requests because they are doing a perfectly good job of providing DNS services to my network.
       3.) Here's where it gets really weird: I can browse in internet explorer to Bing.com and it works.  I can also go to a couple other Microsoft websites (though they are very slow).  If I click on any link in Bing, however, it doesn't
    work and gives me a page not available error.  If I connect to a non-MS website like Google or my company website, I get page not available.
        4.) I have tried to telnet to port 80 at Bing and it works.  I have tried to telnet to port 80 at google.com and it won't connect.  The 2008 servers have no issue telneting to either bing or google on port 80 and none of my client
    PCs on the network do either.
        5.) Windows Update will not connect and neither will any other update service such as AVG (I have AVG Antivirus installed WITHOUT firewall on two of the three servers. The base 2012 VM has no software installed and no roles...I built it
    just to see if it could connect after a fresh install and it still cannot.)
        6.) The network connection does not indicate limited connectivity (probably because ICMP appears to be passing successfully)
         7.) If I connect the server directly to the modem it has full internet access.
         8.) All internal LAN connectivity is perfectly fine and runs at full speed.
         9.) I have scoured the internet trying to find other examples of this particular kind of connectivity issue on 2012 and I have found two TechNet articles that are similar, but they both had the same resolution: changing the router
    worked, but no one knows why. (I would have included the links, but apparently I cannot do that yet)
    My question is this: What is different about Windows Server 2012 networking that would render it unable to communicate through a router that Windows Server 2008 has no problems with?  I ask because, unlike in these two articles where they were
    running personal networking equipment they could easily upgrade, I'm running a Cisco 881 with what should be virtually limitless configuration options and I have no desire to replace it.  I have to assume the issue is somehow related to the firewall configuration,
    which I could fix easily, but I don't know what to change.  If anyone knows what changed in 2012 and why I would be able to browse to bing and other MS sites but no where else, please pass them along.  Thanks.

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 robocopy not copying inherited directory permission from source file server to destination ?

    Can anyone here please help me with Robocopy on Windows Server 2012 R2 to copy the file server content from \\OldFileServer\Data share into the local S:\Data drive ?
    here's my script that I use to copy 11 TB of file server contents:
    robocopy.exe "\\OLDFILESERVER\Data" S:\Data *.* /E /SECFIX /SEC /XO /ZB /COPYALL /MIR /DCOPY:DAT /R:0 /W:0 /NP /NFL /NDL /TEE /LOG:"G:\robocopy.log"
    Any kind of help and assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    /* Server Support Specialist */

    Hi,
    Based on my tests, inherited permissions will not be copied using robocopy.exe.
    That’s because that after we copy or move an objects to another volume, the object inherits the permissions of its new parent folder.
    My suggestion for you is to disable the inheritance on corresponding subfolders, and Convert inherited permissions into explicit permissions on this object. After that, those permissions can be copied.
    Here are some references below for you:

  • Windows Server 2012 CA will not allow Windows XP to autoenroll

    I have a Windows Server 2012 Domain Controller with an Enterprise root CA installed.  I have created a client authentication certificate template (2003 compatible).  Domain Computers have Read, Enroll and Autoenroll permissions.  I modified
    the Domain Policy to enable Certificate autoenrollment.  I have two clients on the same subnet with the domain controller, one Windows 7 Ent SP1 and one Windows XP SP3.  The problem:  Windows 7 reboots, has client auth cert installed in computer's
    personal cert store.  The Windows XP machine cannot acquire the certificate.  Event ID 13, source is AutoEnrollment, 0x80094011,The permissions on this certification authority do not allow the current user to enroll for certificates.  Both machines
    belong to the domain.  Running gpudate /force on the XP machine generates an info event stating that the computer security policy has be applied successfully, then the autoenrollment error.  I've setup autoenrollment dozens of times without any
    problems.  The only thing different in this environment is that the CA is installed on Server 2012.  I could be something else, but the only real difference is Server 2012.  There are no errors on the server.  It is like the client just
    cannot talk to the server at all, but it's getting its policy from that server.
    Any ideas? 

    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831373.aspx
    What works differently?
    Windows XP clients
    will not be compatible with this higher security setting enabled by
    default on a Windows Server 2012 CA. If necessary, you can lower the
    security setting as previously described.
    Try run this command:
    certutil -setreg CA\InterfaceFlags +IF_ENFORCEENCRYPTICERTREQUEST
    Restart the certification authority
    net stop certsvc
    net start certsvc
    INFO FROM LINK:
    What value does this change add?
    The CA
    enforces enhanced security in the requests that are sent to it. This
    higher security level requires that the packets requesting a certificate
    are encrypted, so they cannot be intercepted and read. Without this
    setting enabled, anyone with access to the network can read packets sent
    to and from the CA using a network analyzer. This means that
    information could be exposed that might be considered a privacy
    violation, such as the names of requesting users or machines, the types
    of certificates for which they are enrolling, the public keys involved,
    and so on. Within a forest or domain, leaking these data may not be a
    concern for most organizations. However, if attackers gain access to the
    network traffic, internal company structure and activity could be
    gleaned, which could be used for more targeted social engineering or
    phishing attacks.
    The commands to enable the enhanced security
    level of RPC_C_AUTHN_LEVEL_PKT on Windows Server®  2003,
    Windows Server®  2003 R2, Windows Server®  2008, or Windows
    Server 2008 R2 certification authorities are:
    certutil -setreg CA\InterfaceFlags +IF_ENFORCEENCRYPTICERTREQUEST
    Restart the certification authority
    net stop certsvc
    net start certsvc
    If
    you still have Windows XP client computers that need to request
    certificates from a CA that has the setting enabled, you have two
    options:

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 will not install when Server 2012 non-R2 installs fine.

    Our company has several Windows Server 2012 servers that installed and work without issues. However, we purchased several Server 2012 R2 licenses to install on the exact same hardware, and at the very beginning of the install process it does not recognize
    any of the hard drives, and cannot continue with the install. I have put the drivers that the non-R2 servers use on a flash drive, and tried to use those drivers during the R2 installs, but none work. This is extremely frustrating, and I want to know what
    my options are? Is it a signed driver issue? Can I disable signed driver checks before installing R2? Thanks for any help.
    P.S. I will even consider downgrading the Server 2012 R2 licenses to standard 2012 if that is even possible? I don't think I can get a refund on the media.

    Contact your server vendor to see if they support 2012 R2 on the platform you are working with.  They are the ones who determine what firmware/drivers get released for what versions of the operating system.
    "R2 2012 and using them for R2 does not work as it just rejects them or says no new device drivers were found."
    Are you trying to load them during the installation process when it gives you the option to load drivers?  I've never seen a 'no new device drivers were found' message at that point because you are specifically telling it which driver to use.
    Yes, the license for a retail copy of the operating system contains downgrade rights.  However, activation keys are different.  You may have to contact Microsoft or the vendor from whom you purchased your copy to obtain a 2012 activation key.

  • Windows deployment services in windows server 2012 : operating system not found

    Hello,
    In order of learning WDS in Windows Server 2012, I created a simple test environment composed of :
    A Domain controler running WS 2K12 and hosting both DHCP and WDS services. (with the option of not listening port 67 checked while installing WDS)
    A test computer, with no operating system
    I also added a Windows Server 2012 Standard WIM file and added also (located in [DVD]\sources\install.wim), boot file image (located in [DVD]\sources\boot.wim)
    But now, when i start the client, it gives the following error:
    While i don't find any reliable solution on Internet, Im looking for your help if ever, anyone faced this problem and found a solution for it or not
    Thanks in advance!

    I find it strange that client and server IP are the same. Is there any sort of DHCP relay agent running on your WDS server ?

  • Windows server 2012 R2 does not recognize DVD burner as read/write device

    I've seen problem fixes for this on Windows 7 but nothing on 2012 R2.
    I changed the drive letter on the server (2012 R2 with all current updates) and now it does not recognize the working DVD burner as a read/write device.
    The device does work correctly with other Operating Systems on the same hardware.  The box is a Lenovo D30.
    Any idea as to how to go about this fix.  All Microsoft troubleshooter downloads run and say the problem was corrected but no luck in burning anything.

  • Windows Server 2012 WU agent not reporting to SCCM 2012

    Hi folks,
    Having a bit of trouble tracking down this issue with a particular WS2012 SCCM client. Unlike my other WS2012 servers that are SCCM clients in the same device collection (confirmed that this device is in the list), this one has a completely blank updates
    compliance report which indicates that it's not reporting back at all.
    In SCCM the policy request and heartbeat DDR are current, with last status message 5 days ago. Client activity is 'Active'.
    WindowsUpdate.log has only this message when wuauclt /detectnow is run:
    'Can not perform non-interactive scan if AU is interactive-only'
    Couldn't find much on the interwebs about that message. I've tried re-installing the SCCM agent from scratch a few times. Ideas? Thanks in advance for any suggestions you might have.

  • Windows Server 2012 Snipping Tool Not Working

    I have installed snipping tool on our server. When testing it under the admin account everything works fine.
    But when users login and use the snipping tool > Email > Send. The email shows up as blank. It does not show up with the common red X but just shows nothing at all
    I have scoured the internet for hours looking for a fix but have yet to find anything. I have changed the registry settings like this link below
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/akashb/archive/2012/12/08/images-sent-using-snipping-tool-snippingtool-exe-shows-up-as-red-x-in-outlook-2010.aspx
    I have allowed outlook to accept all pictures etc. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Desktop Features.
    What I think is the problem from looking trough my phone is the email says "This message has no content" or "image0001.png" when it should say
    cid:[email protected]
    If anyone knows a fix for this please let me know. Thanks

    I gave everyone full control to snipping tool, still did not work. I logged in as user and ran snipping tool as administrator, still did not work.
    The snip is not saved to a certain folder. I am trying to send it via email (without sending it as an attachment) which is the same as copy and pasting the picture.
    If I Copy + Paste I get the correct
    cid:[email protected],
    but if i choose to email only (again not sending as attachment) it has no content at all.
    I checked the settings for snipping tool and the box is checked to  "always copy snips to the clipboard" which in essence should make it work.

  • WSUS in Windows Server 2012 R2 is not downloading update files.

    I'm not using Proxy server and this is the only WSUS server in our environment and update source is to sync from Microsoft Update site.
    Synchronization completes successfully and every update files is not downloading. When I look at the download status from the main page, it said it downloaded, but when I look at the files from updates folder, it said failed to download.
    I'm getting following error messages:
    Content file download failed.
    Reason: The server does not support the necessary HTTP protocol. Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) requires that the server support the Range protocol header.

    Hi,
    This is most likely a problem with a proxy server or firewall. Since you don’t have a proxy server, then firewall could be the culprit.
    Error message when you try to download a file by using the Background Intelligent Transfer Service: "Content file download failed"
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922330
    Make sure your firewall support HTTP 1.1 range requests. If it still doesn’t help, try the following workaround:
    If you are unable resolve this issue from the proxy/firewall side, then try these steps as a workaround on the WSUS server,
    Set BitsDownloadPriorityForeground=1 using osql.exe on WSUS SQL instance.
    net stop WSUSservice
    CD "%ProgramFiles%\Update Services\tools\osql"
    osql.exe -S <SQL instance name> -E -b -n -Q "USE SUSDB update tbConfigurationC set BitsDownloadPriorityForeground=1"
    net start WSUSservice

  • Administrator cannot change printer properties on "Advanced" tab from "Devices and Printers" on Windows Server 2012 R2

    Hello, dear Colleagues.
    User with administrators rights cannot change printer properties on "Advanced" tab from "Devices and Printers" on Windows Server 2012 R2. 
    If to launch "Devices and Printers" on server, all printer properties on "Advanced" tab are inactive (see screen below). 
    But I can change it manually with "Print Management". Features become active.
    The main purpose - to uncheck "Enable advanced printing features"  with powershell
    scripts.
    $erroractionpreference = "continue"
    $colPrinters = Get-Wmiobject -Class win32_printer -computername print_server -Filter "Name like 'printer1' or Name like 'printer2' or Name like 'printer3' or Name like 'printer4' or Name like 'printer5' or Name like 'printer6'" # get printers on server and filter with names
    ForEach ($objPrinter in $colPrinters) { # get printer details from WMI
    If ($objPrinter.RawOnly -ne "True") { # check that Advanced printing fetaures is turned on
    Write-host $objPrinter.Name
    Write-Host $objPrinter.RawOnly
    $objPrinter.RawOnly = "True" # Untick and update the object in WMI
    $objPrinter.Put()
    It works on Windows 7 workstation, but does not on print server Windows Server 2012 R2 with error
    Exception calling "Put" with "0" argument(s): "Generic failure "
    At \\print_server\c$\DisableAdvancedPrintingFeatures.ps1:8 char:17
    + $objPrinter.Put()
    + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : DotNetMethodException
    Can you help me with that? Look like somethings with rights.
    Thank you.

    Hello, Alan
    Morris.
    Thanks for your reply.
    I've tried to runs PS Script both locally and remotely, previously running Powershell ISE as Administrator.
    I've noticed interesting thing - if to
    check "Enable advanced printing features"
    manually thru Print Management snap-in, script works fine. But, time to time after some manipulations on print server, this advanced feature returns to enabled state automatically by system, I think. In this case PS Script does not work. Next, if to disable
    feature manually again (thru Print Management snap-in),
    and enable manually again, PS Script will work. Very strange situation.
    Thanks.

  • Windows Server 2012 Essentials not listed in EasyStartu​p 3.8.1d for TS140

    Recently purchased a TS140 (70A4 001RUS). Came factory installed RAID 1 with Windows Server 2012 Essentials pre-installed. Needed to reinstall, however:
    - Windows Server 2012 Essentials does not show up in EasyStartup 3.8.1c DVD that came with server
    - Downloaded latest EasyStartup 3.8.1d and created bootable DVD and ran with same result
    - "Windows Server 2012" is listed (but not Essentials). Running this installation, it does not recognize the Windows Server 2012 Essentials External Recovery DVD that came with server. Continually asks to insert "Windows Server 2012" disk.
    - "Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials" is listed (but not 2012 Essentials). Running this installation, it does not recognize the Windows Server 2012 Essentials External Recovery DVD that came with server. Continually asks to insert "Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials" disk.
    - Have booted using UEFI, Legacy and Auto with no difference
    - Ran lastest Firmware Updater v1.8.1013 - no updates listed as required
    - Have updated BIOS to latest 70A
    - Server will also not boot directly from Windows Server 2012 Essentials External Recovery DVD (dvd is set 1st in boot order in bios)
    - Windows Server 2012 Essentials External Recovery DVD is readable on other machines - can copy to bootable USB key and run regular Windows installation on server (this is current workaround)
    - using the above workaround, drivers must be installed manually.
    - EasyStartup 3.8.1d Readme specificly lists Windows Server 2012 Essentials as supported on the TS140 in UEFI and Legacy mode here
    As mentioned, the above workaround can work. However, this server may not always be maintained by myself and I would prefer the supplied software to acutally work properly for ease of use by others in the future.

    I have several TS140s running WSE 2012 R2.  Like you said, the easystart does not recognize properly the WSE R2 os, so I just did the basic from disc or USB install after I configured the boot drives or RAID1 array.
    The main reason to load the easy start is for drivers, however WSE found and recognized all the hardware in the unit.

  • Serial Port communication very slow in RDP on windows server 2012

    Hellò, we have installed a new server 2012 and connected some thinclients via RDP, since that moment all peripherals connected to the imported com ports of the thinclients are running very slow, for example the cash register issue any receipt only after
    15-20 seconds!!. We have try to connect via RDP also a personal computer with many other OS like windows 8, windows 7, or XP but the result is the same: 15-20 seconds for a receipt!! We solve the problem only changing the server 2012 with a old server
    2008 or 2003!. How is possible window server 2012 is so slow on RDP imported com ports??. There is something to set for speed up the com ports on rdp? For us this is a great problem, all of our customers are using cash register via RDP and they can't wait
    all this time for a receipt. For your information we have tried to connect the cash register to the same com port of the same thinclient to the same server 2012 without RDP and the issue of the receipt is fast, so the problem is something on RDC of the new
    OS windows Server 2012. Also note this is a bi-directional communication because the cash register use a bi-directional communication for printing each one of the voice on the receipt, this problem wll not affect other printers unidirectional where the
    print process starting in less one second. Please help us to solve this problem, otherwise we will not more install windows server 2012.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
    When the slow performance issue occurs on server 2012, check the Windows Logs – Application category of the Event Viewer (eventvwr.msc) on both the client and server sides. If there is any logs recorded, please let us know them. Please also check the
    driver is properly installed on server and check the compability guide with the cash register machine, whether it support server 2012 with remote session. If there is particular requirement then you need to solve them first.
    In addition, would like you to try connecting with RDP 8.1 and check whether it faces same issue.

  • VLM 3.1 on Windows Server 2012 R2

    Looking at the supported operating systems for VLM 3.1 I see Windows Server 2012 R2 is not on the list.  Will VLM 3.1.1 run on Windows Server 2012 R2?  
    We are in need of replacing our license server and my IT team is asking what OS I need.  I can use 2008 R2, but if this will run on 2012 R2, it would be preferred.
    Thanks

    You are correct, VLM 3.1 is not supported by Windows Server 2012 R2. However, 2008 R2 is supported. If you have acces to 2008, this is the course you should take.

  • Sharepoint 2013 - Error installing pre-requisite on Windows Server 2012 R2

    I have been trying to get my Sharepoint 2013 installed on windows server 2012 R2. I was never able to get past the pre-requisite installer. It keeps failing at "Configuring Application Server Role, Web Server (IIS) Role" and was never able to get
    past that.
    In the last 3 days i tried almost all of the suggestions posted in various forums but was never able to get it work. Any insight in to this error and resolution is greatly appreciated.
    Tried all things explained here but didn't work
    KrisS

    I voted for the SharePoint 2013 isn't supported yet link. I spent 4 hours resolving the issue. In my installation, there were many claims by the installer that the application server role is corrupt or unavailable. I dove deep into the installer files and
    found 1 file that was not in the correct place. I am not going to mention it, because it is the reason the installer should fail.
    Downloading and installing sharepoint 2013 sp1 was the answer. Why? Because Windows Server 2012 R2 was my operating system. Windows Server 2012 R2 was not a supported type of installation for SharePoint 2013 until SharePoint 2013 SP1 was released.
    I hope this helps those whom have ben in dire need. Even though Paul was initially correct in his statement, the release of SharePoint 2013 sp1 opens doors.
    @Microsoft, as a former PFE I think you could have done better.
