Good afternoon,
I have three Windows Server 2012 R2 Domain controllers (AD DS, DNS, and DFS roles) and I'm running SCOM 2012 R2 Update Rollup 1 with all the latest management packs for Server 2012 R2, Active Directory, DNS, and DFS.
When I install SCOM agents on these DCs, a WmiPrvSE process starts consuming a lot of memory until it reaches around 512MB. At that point no one can RDP to the DCs, but we can enter-possession to get-process | sort ws and kill the offending WmiPrvSE.exe process. When I uninstall the SCOM agent the server returns to normal.
Other Windows Server 2012 R2 servers in our environment don't have this problem. And when we had Windows Server 2012 (no R2) domain controllers this wasn't an issue. My assumption is one of the management packs are an issue.
I've seen other posts, but they are either related to older versions of Windows Server or not domain controllers.
