John,

Thank you for the reply. I tested with http://www.microsoft.com and that timed out as well and the application I’m trying is not internal.

In the mean time however, the culprit was found.

It turned out the healthservice on the scom server itself was corrupted. Not long after I made this post, I got the ‘All Management Servers Resource Pool…[Read more]

When it comes to recover and repair the MDF and NDF files of MS SQL server database, the MS SQL server database recovery utility is the best option of the solution. You can try this software from here :- http://www.undeletepcfiles.com/sql-database-recovery-tool.html

hi all,
there was no response, but that’s OK as I’ve found my holy grail in Gary Simmons’ TechNet blog here:

Just what I needed

What SQL collation method did you specify when you first installed SQL server?  Did you select anything other than the default value?

Running 2012R2 UR3 here and I’m not having an issue setting up web application monitoring, so I’d suspect the application. Have you tried something simple – monitoring http://www.yahoo.com for example? Also I assume you are using an internal watcher node (not using GSM). Is the application you are trying to monitor internal as well? Just trying to rule…[Read more]

Thanks all for your suggestions.

I will test the GW setup in my environment and update if I have any issues.

Turn out I need to use the PowerShell OIP from

Setup CredSSP authentication
Then use the following script to call powershell 3.0
$ABC = powershell {Import-Module ‘C:Windowssystem32WindowsPowerShell1.0ModulesFailoverClustersFailoverClusters.psd1′;New-Cluster -name clustername -node servername1,servername2 -staticaddress 1.1.1.1}

finally can run…[Read more]

The key phrase there is “the same resource pool”.

So why not just set your management server in its own resource pool?

Management servers in general should always be as physically close to your SCOM database servers as possible.   In low bandwidth/high latency scenarios you can use a gateway server to consolidate agent traffic.  Otherwise…[Read more]

I am running with this scenario in my production environment  with two gateways on the same domain at a remote site and we have not had any issues or need to mess with certificates.

Thanks a lot for the link. I will test in the lab.

Yes. I would have configured MS instead of GW. But as per Microsoft recommendation the bandwidth between the resource pool should be ~5ms but since the child domain are at different geographical locations the bandwidth is ~80ms.

This is the only reason I am leaning towards setting up GW instead…[Read more]

Okay, I have limited experience with this scenario as well. It should be possible to rely on kerberos auth if you are inside the same realm though? Hence you can skip the certs (the GW is just like a BIG agent with some bells and whistles, right?). I do not have any hands on experience with a GW in the same forest so this is just qualified…[Read more]

Hi,

I’m not sure what you mean by “remotely”? Am I correct if I say that your goal are agents that can be remotely managed from the Operations Console?

It could be something like this (this is copy paste from one of the examples “Get-Help Install-SCOMAgent -Examples” returns):

PS C:>$PrimaryMgmtServer = Get-SCOMManagementServer -Name…[Read more]

Theoretically it is feasible. I am looking for used case scenario cause I have come across many blogs that describes technical difficulties while setting up gateways with in same domain, mainly due to kerbrose interfering with certificates unless appropriate accounts are used to configure the gateway.

Hi,

Sounds like a viable solution if you have no more than 2000 agents. You should set up two gateways and configure failover for both agents -> GWs, and GWs -> management servers.

TEST!

Hi,

Basically I would like to deploy gateway server within trusted domain because of the latency issue.

Can you please let me know if that is possible? If yes what are the steps?

Thanks in advance.
