Community Feedback: R2 Upgrade fails, can´t find database

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 12:27:11 GMT

Problem: I try to Upgrade my OpsMgr RMS to R2. but it fails complaining that SQL is not installed on the server. That is true since the database is located on another server. Viewing the install-log it states "could not get sql server instance names". If that is related to the fault I don´t now. Any ideás ? Thanks, Andreas

Community Feedback: Fail to Install Agent

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:54:21 GMT

I am blocked trying to set up an SCOM agent on an XP PC on my virtual network. I exhausted all the resources I could find on the Internet. I set up the Operations Manager 2007 R2 on a windows server 2008 R2. I performed all the necessary steps such as making sure the machine is present in the server’s DNS and updated the Windows installer on the client to 3.1.

Here is the discovery wizard output,

The Operations Manager Server cannot process the install/uninstall request for computer XPSP2SCOMTEST.SCTESTSERVER.absolute.com due to failure of operating system version verification.
Operation: Agent Install
Install account: XPSP2SCOMTEST\Administrator
Error Code: 80070005

Community Feedback: SCOM Getting Started

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 03:47:26 GMT

I don't know if this is the right spot to post my question. Basically, I was told to do some research on SCOM, and I need to setup a monitoring/reporting mechanism for our distributed web application. The applications are currently deployed in a virtualized environment. The technology used to develop the application includes but not limited to .Net, Java, Web Service, ASP.Net, IIS, WCF, Windows Service, SQL Server & etc. I’ve downloaded the user guide, admin guide, design guide and a bunch of other guides from Microsoft. But, those guides are all hundreds of pages, and seriously I don’t have lot of patients to go through that stuff. So, I’m looking for a clear and concise guide to get started, if there is one available. Could someone please give me some suggestions? I’d really appreciate your help. Thank you!

Community Feedback: self created MP's not alerting

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 20:29:08 GMT

I am running MSCOM 2007 SP1 in a single server, single management group configuration. I create management packs targeted to groups with statically defined members. Monitor targests are Availability, Im doing a basic windows service alert, critical if not running, no overrides. I apply it. Ops mgr logs on target machines show succesfull download of MP, the MP is visible in management packs folder. No errors on the RMS server. I stop the service but the alert is never shown? I stop the DNS client service which is from a different MP and it alerts. I dont know where else to look to troubleshoot this thing. any help appreciated.

For example

Audit Collection Collector Server platform identical to Management servers

Audit Collection Collector Database Server platform is identical to OpsDB

can he ACCS run on the same server as Management Servers and ACCD run on the same server as OpsDB Server?

Thanx.

Community Feedback: Management Pack Dell: Regional settings bug

Tue, 12 May 2009 07:18:34 GMT

The Bug is for DellStorageDiscovery.vbs:

Source: Health Service Modules
Event number: 21405

The process started at 09:29:38 failed to create System.Discovery.Data, no errors detected in the output. The process exited with 0 Command executed: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\cscript.exe" /nologo "DellStorageDiscovery.vbs" {XXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXX} {XXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXX} agent.mydomain.com Working Directory: C:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager 2007\Health Service State\Monitoring Host Temporary Files 1\1821\ One or more workflows were affected by this. Workflow name: Dell.Connections.DellStorage.Discovery Instance name: agent.mydomain.com Instance ID: {XXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXX} Management group: FIRSTMG

------
The badly function is (in red the problem):
Function CheckVBScriptEngine()
Dim bIsCompatV, var
Const VBSCRIPT_MIN_VERSION = 5.6
var = ScriptEngineMajorVersion & “.” & ScriptEngineMinorVersion
If (CInt(var)) < biscompatv =" False" biscompatv =" True"> 0 Then
CheckVBScriptEngine = Err.Number
Else
CheckVBScriptEngine = bIsCompatV
End If
End Function

The corrected function is:
Function CheckVBScriptEngine()
Dim bIsCompatV, var, sep, WshShell
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject(”WScript.Shell”)
sep = WshShell.RegRead(”HKCU\Control Panel\International\sDecimal”)
Const VBSCRIPT_MIN_VERSION = 5.6
var = ScriptEngineMajorVersion & sep & ScriptEngineMinorVersion
If (CInt(var)) < biscompatv =" False" biscompatv =" True"> 0 Then
CheckVBScriptEngine = Err.Number
Else
CheckVBScriptEngine = bIsCompatV
End If
End Function

PS: I also have a similar bug with the Microsoft ISA 2006 Management Pack. Microsoft acknowleged the bug and is going to deliver a new release.
