It seems some of the cmdlets are missing. If anyone has any idea why this is happening please respond to this query.

Can you please help me in this?
Thanks a lot in advance.

I've installed and imported IIS Management Pack on my SCOM2007 server. I can see a lot of informations about my web server. That's great. ;)

I've installed agent and MP for my Windows XP Client, and every thing is fine. That's great to. ;)

But now, I would like to go further. I'd like to know the response time from my XP client to the WEB SERVER. Is it possible ?

Thank you.
Yoann.

Please assist. Thank you.

Get-Alert : Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value 'NotMarkedForForwarding' to data type int.

The issue here is that the API is expecting some int value for ConnectorStatus instead of the visible string value. Does anyone has any idea where I can get the exact mapping of these text to int values?

Try this instead:
PS>(get-event|where{$_.timegenerated -gt (get-date).addhours(-24)}).count

Still, I see a small difference: 190-ish in the UI vs 230-ish in the Command Shell.

I don't have time right now to try to figure out what's up…

Maybe this will help?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Following is the command that I am executing:get-event

Total no of events that I got were 3018 however, from the application when I search using the 'Advanced Search' functionality the total no of events found were - 1904.

Can anybody tell me why is this difference? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The syntax is something like:
Get-Alert -criteria 'TimeRaised >= ''4/25/2008'''

Those are all single quotes. I've not tried doing the hour/minutes/AM/PM though.

get-alert -criteria {TimeRaised = '3/3/2009 10:26:32 AM'}

However, I am not getting the desired results.

Can anyone tell me what is the correct expression to find alerts using any datetime fields such as TimeRaised?

Does anyone have experience in this type of scenario? If it is possible is it straight forward or a complex set of steps to setup and maintain?

Thank you in advance for your replies,

Steve

Im just starting with SCOM 2007, and I'm experimenting some very weird issues, with a logical disk free space monitor. The issue is that Im configuring a unit monitor for these counter in the next way:

Monitor Type: Windows Performance Counter > Static Threshold > Single Threshold > Simple Threshold

Performance Counter:
Object: Logical Disk
Counter: % Free Space
(I check the all instances option)

Threshold Value: 20.00 (Im trying to configure a threshold of 20 % of free space)

Configure Threshold:
Under Threshold = Healthy
Over Threshold = Critical (I mean that if the % free space is below of 20% it's a critical warning)

So thats the way Im creating the monitor. When the monitor is enabled it send some real alerts of logical disk with a % free space under 20, but it sends me alerts of logical disks with a 93% of free space, the most of the alerts are in this way, over the 20% free space threshold. I'have been trying anything and Im wondering that this error must be by a really stupid reason, but i dont find anything more to try :S Really appreciate your help, thanks in advance.

2. SQL -
Failed Login:
Elevated access failed login
Object Create/Modification/Deletion (non-file based)
Security Policy Changes
Account creation/modification/deletion

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\world\Data

This key contains a value dDataServer of type dword. If its the value is 0000001 then the server should be added to the group. I created a attribute in Opr Manager 2007 which probes the registry for the value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\world\Data\dDataserver. I chose the Attribute type to be int.

I then created a group which uses the custom attribute. However when i view the devices in this group i dont see any computer. Can any one help me with this?

Let me know if you still need this…

Any ideas???

I'm getting these same alerts from all three of my core SCOM DB servers.

thanks to anyone that can help me with this.

I have recently encountered the same problem.. Uninstalled everything and reinstalled, but again when creating MOM db it fails with the error. I also tried to use the mom create db tool, but no luck.
registered the oledb32.dll but still the same error.
Any help?

but now i have to know how i can monitore from these workstations out of the box for example exchange oder webservice availability ?
does this work with special management packs ?

I've noticed that on some of my SQL 2005 DB servers, the data collection that the SQL2005 agent is suppose to do (like DB size collection etc), is not working. The pattern seems to be that if the DB server houses only a few DBs, the stats are collected, but if the DB server has got heaps of DBs (> 200) the stats are not collected. All the DBs shows up in Operation Manger, but I cannot see any data for it in the reports or in the monitoring views. Does anyone know if there is a threshold for the number of database or something similar that needs to be set that will correct the collection?

Thanks!

I copied the value from the original baseline, it is "$Data/Context/Property[@Name='Average']$" but this reports nothing in the new threshold - it comes out blank. I tried adding a property called "$Data/Context/[Average]$" but this didn't work either.

This is what is reported in the alert: "The Mailbox Store Send Queue has been above 20 for over 10mins. The current value is"

In short, how can I get a list of properties and values to report in the Alerting page under the Alert Description?

Thanks.

Please let me know?

Thanks

How can I remove the "Not monitored" subtree of a server object in Diagram view?

When I look at the diagram view of a particular file server, it has two children: Healthy and Not monitored.
Healthy contains all the good stuff like DFS, Print Server, Disks and IIS.
Not monitored contains stuff like Microsoft_Windows_2003_Distributed_File_System_Servers_Installation and Microsoft_Windows_2003_Servers_With_Distributed_File_System_Service_Installation which, when I look at the Health Explorer for those nodes, tell me that they are rollup monitors and that their state is unknown because either monitoring has not begun or there are no monitors defined.

Now, my boss is looking at these things and asking me why they are there. Shouldn't they be monitored? What, exactly, are they?

So, can I remove, disable, cover up, or whatever these Not monitored nodes, so that the Diagram view only contains things that we are monitoring?

Alternatively, what things should go into these rollup monitors, and where do I enable them so that they become "Monitored"?

Any help????

I've been having issues installing the SCOM07 Reporting component recently. I followed Microsoft's deployment guide to install SCOM07. I created all of the recommended users and groups in active directory and made sure the proper databases were created in SQL. A note on the installation: I am installing both the OpsMgr and Reporting on the same computer.

I try installing the Reporting component and get through the install screens. When the install begins to roll, however, it stops before anything progress during the "Loading Management Server Action and SDK Account." When I look in the installation log and search for value 3, i find: "_SetPropertiesToManagementServerActionAndSDKAccountCA. Return value 3."

I search for any kb articles on this error and came across: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936219

I requested the hotfix and applied it to the system in question. I tried the installation again, but it fails with the same errors. The kb article above also lists a workaround as described in: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936220/ . I went through the procedures outlined in the first section and then tried the installation again, which failed with the same error.

Can anyone think of anything else this may be? I am stuck at this point and have no idea what to try because I can't find any more information that references this error.

Thanks

When I whas trying to update the sp in need to run the x86 to update the 32bit services, like the Reporting and 64bit sp to update the remaining services on the SQL. And I cant install hotfixes because the SQL always ask for sp1??

It looks there is a bit conflict between the 32bit database and the 65bit serverversion, or am I barking at the wrong tree.

Recently SCOM server generating huge number of recurring alerts with an timeframe of 10 mins. It is generating approximately 50-70 alerts(same). I want to reduce the alerts, by configuring some baseline values to the generating alerts. Can anybody please help me to configure these alerts parameters. Below are the most recurring alerts our SCOM server generating with a timeframe of 5 mins. I want to set some baseline values to these alerts to reduce the alert storm.

These were the alerts which are generating in huge numbers:

My scenario was:
- install clean SCOM 2007 without Service Packs
- install SCOM SP1RC
- fully uninstall SCOM
- now it is impossible to install SCOM without Service Pack.

i fixed this by going to C:\WINDOWS\Assembly, finding Microsoft.MOM.xx with version 6.0.xx and chosing "Unistall".
After this procedure i was able to repeat install steps again.

Hope this will help for future readers.

Its not compulsory to install scom in AD domain, you can install either at Domain machine or in an member machine (win 2003).

obviously sql is must, other than this no other s/w required.

I have installed in AD domain and maintaining some member machines successfully. Carry on ur work, all the best for ur work.

1. First you need to open the Operators Console and go to the Administration Tab.

2. If you haven’t done so already, you’ll need to configure outgoing email servers for email notifications. I don’t cover that in this post but if you need information on how to do this just leave a comment and I’ll send you some great links.

3. After you have setup your outbound email servers, you are ready to setup notification recepients. Notification receipents are the people or groups and their associated email addresses, IM sip addresses, and/or SMS numbers. In this scenario we will setup email only. To do this locate any icon in the left pane and right click. Then select New Notification Recepient.

4. In the Notification Recipient Properties window, type a person or name in the display name field. In our example we will use 1st Level Server Admins to group all admins who should receive initial notification of server problems.

5. Click the Notification Device tab and then click the Add button.

6. Select Email as the notification channel and enter the email address of the first level 1 admin. Then click Next.

7. In our example we will choose to always send notifications, however you may choose a custom schedule such as 8:00am - 5:00pm if desired.

8. Name the device.

9. (Optional) Repeat Steps 5 through 8 to setup any additional first level admins.

10. Repeat Steps 3 - 9 to setup our 2nd Level Admins for email notification.

11. You should not have both 1st and 2nd Level Admins defined as recipents.

12. The next step is to setup notification subscriptions for our admins. You first need to setup the subscription for 1st level admins. To do this ensure you are still in the Administration section and right click an icon in the left pane. Choose New Notification Subscription in the pop-up menu.

13. Provide a name for this subscription and add the 1st Level Server Admins to the Recipients list. Then click Next.

14. Accept defaults until you reach the groups section. Then select the relevant groups for this notification subscription. In our example we will choose Windows Server 2000 Computer Group, Windows Server 2003 Computer Group, Windows Server Computer Group, and Windows Server Instances Group. Click Next.

15. Choose options for the types of notifications you wish to receive options such as alert severity, state, and priority (Note that we have selected to be notified when the alert is opened and closed). Then click Next.

16. Ensure the do not notify on alert aging option is slected and click Next. Use the default email format and click Finish.

17. The next step is to setup a subscription for our 2nd Level Administrators. The setup process is basically the same. Follow steps 12 through 14 . In step 13 make sure you choose 2nd level admins instead of 1st level.

19. This time choose the option to use alert aging as notification criteria. In this scenario we will set the notification period to 30 mins. This setting informs operations manager that an alert must remain in a New state for 30 mins before sending a notification to 2nd Level Admins. If the alert’s state changes to Closed before the 30 min time period, 2nd level admins will never be notified.

20. On the notification formatting page, select the option to use a custom email format. Add the text Alert Notification to the subject line. In this example I have also added a sentence in the boxy to inform 2nd level admins the alert has been active for 30 mins. Now click the Finish button.

If you think you’ve got everything setup properly, do something to kick off an alert and see if the escalation process works. There are a couple of gotchas and issues with this scenario. First, you are required to setup a new subscription for each level of escalation. It would be nice if future versions of Operations Manager included an option in the wizard to setup escalation workflow. Second ,closed notifications will not be sent to 2nd level admins until the alert has been closed for 30 mins. Remember setting the alert aging? This holds true for closed alerts as well. You could work around this by creating a new notification subscription for Closed alerts to 2nd level admins and not use aging criteria, however 2nd level admins would then receive all closed alerts, not just those that have been escalated.

then go to notifications: there u create receipient and subscribe for the alerts, its very simple.

Even im in touch with scom2007 from last 3 months, i know something in beginner level.

please let me know in case of any difficulties, shoot a mail to moc.snaetorp|aladiak.hsakarpagoy#moc.snaetorp|aladiak.hsakarpagoy
