Stuart,
I have been doing Orchestrator (and Opalis the product MS bought and rebadged) Consultancy for 7 years now and executing Runbooks against DMZ machines is often complicated.
Over the years both solutions you have identified have been used.

I tried MVMC 1.0 a few months ago, and found it to be very limited.
Examples include:
VMs with multiple disks and NICs were a problem
Many versions of the VM Tools were not spotted by the tool
Can anyone confirm that version 2.0 is better?
Stuart Douglas started the topic runbooks and untrusted systems in the forum Orchestrator 1 day, 9 hours ago
I’m curious what others are doing around monitoring untrusted systems (DMZ) in SCOM and running Orchestrator runbooks against these systems. Obviously the SCOM part is handled via gateway management servers, but what about the Orchestrator side? Are you standing up a separate SCO environment in your DMZs? Are you tunneling between DMZ runbook…[Read more]

So I’m not clear from their announcement….so is TechEd going away? Or is this an additional new conference? (I guess we call this “M.U.T.E.E.”? Let the jokes begin!)
Let me start by saying that my interpretation may be incorrect – I’m working from what is being publicly announced at:

Hi,
Try and remove the DB from the PG on the secondary server and the re-add it and then run a new consistency check (It will start that automatically when re-adding to the PG)
With a bit of luck that fixes your issue, I’m having some of the same issues right now and this was a workaround supplied by Premier support.

Are you looking for a way to put objects other than computers into maintenance mode in Operations Manager 2012 R2? The PowerShell scripts are different for these between Operations Manager 2007 and 2012. The following are what we put together to put various items into maintenance mode. These include starting maintenance mode for the following…[Read more]
This is a useful article. On a related note, the following script, which I have seen referenced by Kevin Holman on the MSMOM mailing list will put instances of any class into maintenance mode, including members of a group.
Good stuff Tommy, thanks for sharing the link!

DevOps is a word being thrown around a lot these days. Many job descriptions are now include it, tools are being written around it and perhaps most importantly, IT Pros are being told they need to prepare for it, or risk being left behind.

Looking forward to this series…..one question though. A big part of the DevOps concept is leveraging open-source tools. Will this series address how Microsoft technologies can co-exist or work together with open source tools and technologies?
You bet. PowerShell OneGet calls Chocolately, which is open source. I expect the “other tools as required” category will include some open source, but we’ll see where the series leads us.
