Web Console timeout - SCOM 2012 R2

$
0
0

Hi,

I've recently updgraded from SCOM 2012SP1 to R2 - all went fine, however a few service owners are conplaining their Web console times out quite quickly - this issue may have been present in SP1!!

So I've googled and seen a few posts saying to edit the web.conf file and change the autoSignout value fro 30 to 0 as per here:http://blogs.catapultsystems.com/cfuller/archive/2012/02/02/opsmgr-2012-scom-overriding-the-default-autosignout-value-for-the-web-console.aspx

However in my setup - web console is installed on Server 2012 (iis8) I cannot edit the file as it is saying access denied, even though I'm logged in as a domain admin.  Not knowing IIS that well - and 8 is quite different -I've tried opening the features to see if I can update soemthing in there to apply the setting to web.conf.

So basically is there a recommended way to make the file editable, either directly of through IIS to apply this workaround for web console timeouts?


Unix Cross Platform Agent Update Not Working

I applied hotfix KB973583 but it does not update the UnixAgents directory in SCOM. All files still show they are at version scx-1.0.4-248 and not scx-1.0.4-252.

I recently applied CU7 to SCOM.

Thanks



Advisor Managed in OpsMgr 2012 R2

Does anyone have any information on the advisory managed in OpsMgr 2012 R2 as we are testing with a couple of system and it seems okay but the things we are fixing are still getting alerts on them.     How does one verify that the fix is actually working and it is more of a false positive.

Thanks in advanced

I just downloaded of TechNet the VHD of System Center Configuration Manager 2012 R2.  However when you bring it online it is in the domain Conteso. I have searched all over TechNet and the web, but there is no record of the admin password nor is there any documented instructions with the download.

SNMP Traps

I'm trying to configure SCOM to accept all SNMP traps.  The problem I'm running into is that the device that I'm looking to monitor does not allow for probe based discovery in SCOM.  Is having the device discovered in SCOM as a "Network Device" a requirement for SCOM to be able to receive SNMP traps?  I do see the SNMP traffic coming from the device and hitting the SCOM server.

I am going through my company's SCOM server and trying to get rid of some event errors, I have looked all over for this one and have tried a few things but nothing seems to make this one disappear.  This event happens every 30minutes and has another event error that follows it.  Any thoughs?

SCOM 2012 - Use Powershell to put specific server and contained objects into Maintenance Mode

$
0
0

I am still trying to develop what I thought was going to be an easy script, to put a specific server and all it's contained objects into maintenance mode in SCOM 2012.   Not a group, but just one specific server and all it's stuff.

My script to START maintenance mode has two parameters:
1.  The FQDN.  So for example: server1.contoso.com
2.  The amount of minutes to put into maintenance mode

Then it does the following to START maintenance mode:

Import-Module OperationsManager
$Instance = Get-SCOMClassInstance -Name $FQDN   
            If ($Instance)
            {
                    $newEnd = ((Get-Date).AddMinutes($minutes))
                    Start-SCOMMaintenanceMode -Instance $Instance -end $newEnd -Reason "PlannedOther" -Comment "Comments here"
            }  

This seems to work from what I can tell.  I know that when you schedule maintenance mode manually in SCOM, there is an option to apply to "Selected objects and all their contained objects".  I do not know if that is occurring based on my code above.   But I think that is what I want to happen.   I just want all monitoring and alerting for the specified server to stop.   So if you think I need to change the above code so that it gets all the "contained objects" please let me know.

The second part, which I know for a fact isn't fully working, is intended to stop maintenance mode for a server.
My script to STOP maintenance mode has only one parameter:
1.  The FQDN.  So for example: server1.contoso.com

Then it does the following to STOP maintenance mode:

Import-Module OperationsManager
$Instance = Get-SCOMClassInstance -Name $FQDN   
            If ($Instance)
            {
                    $MMEntry = Get-SCOMMaintenanceMode -Instance $Instance
                    If ($MMentry)
                    {
                        #basically sends an end time of 1 minute from when the script is run
                        $newEnd = ((Get-Date).AddMinutes(1))
                        Set-SCOMMaintenanceMode -MaintenanceModeEntry $MMEntry -EndTime $NewEnd -Comment "Removing from Maintenance Mode"   
                    }
            }


This part does seem to work partially.   It does remove the server from maintenance mode.  However, I suspect that it's not removing all the "contained objects" from maintenance mode because when I run the script to stop maintenance mode on a server, the little maintenance mode icon in SCOM does go away but the overall light for the server stays set to "Not Monitored".   It never turns back to the green checkbox and says "Healthy".   When I start and stop maintenance mode manually I can see that the green Healthy checkbox comes back.  But when I try to run my above code to do it via script, it stays at "Not Monitored" instead.

Can someone help me out here?  Looking for answers to two questions:
1.  Does my Start maintenance mode code look ok? Will that put a server and all it's contained objects into maintenance mode?
2.  What do I need to hadd to my Stop maintenance mode code, so that it correctly stops maintenance mode on the server and all its objects and everything starts to be monitored again?

Thanks in advance!  Please let me know if you need any more information in order to be able to help me!


Location for Watcher Node

Hello,

I am trying to install some modules locally http://operatingquadrant.com/2009/08/22/webmon-a-scom-management-pack-for-basic-web-site-monitoring-configured-with-a-single-xml-file-part-i/ on the watcher nodes, but how to decide which servers are the best watcher nodes for the web site I am trying to monitor?

Some sites are hosted by the enterprise SharePoint environment (7 servers : AP1 (application); AP2 (application); FE1 (front-end); FE2 (front-end); IN1 (Index); SQL1 (SQL Cluster node1); SQL2 (SQL Cluster node2).

What should be the best watchers?

Thanks,
DOm

ADFS MP - shows websites as Critical when they are fine

Hi,

Just installed the ADFS MP on to SCOM 2012 R2, but cannot get the Websites to turn Green, even though the Websites  are running fine. ADFS servers are 2008R2.

Have applied all the legacy IIS6 extras to the Management Server (bit dodgy??)

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/systemcenter/en-US/8efa04d0-54f9-4c1b-9009-85237714a5a6/scom-alert-ad-fs-application-pool-adfsapppool-is-stopped-in-the-iis-manager?forum=operationsmanagermgmtpacks

Disabled TCPIP6 on the MS and on the clients. http://scug.be/christopher/2012/03/07/opsmgr-scom-adfs-2-0-mp-discovery-issue/

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff730220.aspx

Rebooted....Stopped/started Health Services ------ nothing gets these critters to turn green.

I do see the following Warning in the Opsmgr Event log and am not sure if this is causing the problem. Nor can I work out how to fix it:

ActiveDirectoryFederationServices : IIS VDir check PowerShell monitoring script failed. You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression. Event ID 901

Any ideas of what can be checked further?

Thx,

Web Application Transaction Monitoring

$

Hi,

I am working on to create a Web Application Transaction Monitor for one of our customers. The monitor uses the in-built  “Web Recorder Tool”.

I created the monitor with the all the steps but get error code 2147954402 i.e. ERROR_WINHTTP_TIMEOUT in one of the steps. Right now, I am kind of blocked on this error and have no idea on how to correct this.

Can I request you to please have a look at this and help us out.

The steps that I am recording are –

  1. I open a Website.
  2. Click on ‘Log In’.
  3. Give in a custom username and password provided by the customers (it’s an ‘xxxxxx@live.com’ account). The site logs me in.
  4. Click on “Feedback” Tab available on the page after I log in.
  5. The site opens up a page that has several Feedback templates. I select one of them.
  6. On the next page, I enter Feedback Title and then Click Submit.
  7. My Feedback gets saved on the website.
  8. I click on Log out.

I get error code 2147954402 i.e. ERROR_WINHTTP_TIMEOUT at step #3. This is the step where I provide the custom user name and a password.

In order to resolve this I have already tried the below steps but they did not help -  

  1. Adding the proxy server to the LAN settings inside my  Internet Explorer.
  2. Adding the website to “Trusted Sites” inside my Internet Explorer.
  3. Changing the Watcher Node to a CORP domain Gateway Server.

I request you to please share your ideas/comments on how to resolve this. Any help from you will be really much appreciated.

Monitored Server appears healthy, server not pingable

Hi Everyone,

I am running SCOM 2012 and am monitoring some 400 Agents, Windows 2003/Windows 2008R2 servers.

Over the weekend, one of the W2K8R2 servers was shutdown accidentally and stayed shut down.

In the SCOM console Adminstraton | Agents managed, the Agent still appeared green and Healthy. Pinging the server returned a 'Request timed out'.

Heartbeat is set to 60 seconds, 7 times. It is not 2 days later and the Agent still appears green and Healthy, server is still offline.

Can someone please help me and point me in a direction as to where the problem can be. I find it very strange that no alerts were thrown, the server is offline anf still green.

I have rebooted both the OM db server plus the SCOM Mgmt Server; still Agent is green and Healthy.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Manual Reset Missing Event not working. OpsMgr 2012 SP1

Hi everyone,

i need your help ! i want monitor if an Event is missing after 2 min in the Application log event. From my Orchestrator server i send Event to my watcher. I can see it in the EventViewer , like this :

EventID : 1 / Source: Orchestrator Runbook / Level:Information 

The description for Event ID 1 from source Orchestrator Runbook cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event: 

Newtest Robot is alive

the message resource is present but the message is not found in the string/message table

But when i create the monitor, SCOM can not see this event ! i tried to filter to the Event ID , the Source, the description , but everytime SCOM raise an alert that this Event is missing !!! But this one appears every minutes !!!

What does that mean this : "the message resource is present but the message is not found in the string/message table "

if you have any idea , please feel free !!

regards

Monitoring Private Cloud Using Azure Management Pack

Hi,

I have deployed a private cloud based on a four Windows 2012R2 Hyper-V Cluster. We deployed a Azure pack to have a portal for tenants management.

We have to monitor this environment (Private Cloud) using scom 2012. we used the SCVMM 2012R2 integration with SCOM 2012R2.

My question: is there a possibility to use Windows Azure management Pack (MP used for public cloud Azure ) to minitor our private cloud through Azure pack portal like public azure monitoring using SCOM?

Thanks
