I am newbie with SCOM. For our project we are using a WMI provider creation. Which will be used by SCOM to collect events and display in the views. Being new to SCOM I am not getting any idea how to proceed. For starters, If any one can provide some inputs or some documents especially on SCOM with WMI provider will be of great help.

I am having a basic question..

1.When we are creating monitors regardless what monitor type I observed that it should fall any one category of Configuration, Availabilty,Security or Performance state. On what criteria are we going to set this monitors into which state. I m not able to make my WMI provider have a monitor.

One name that brings to mind glamour and the absolute best in design is Prada. Many women find that they are almost purring the name whenever they say it. Unfortunately Prada is also extremely expensive, and most women believe that only the filthy rich can afford it. If you’d like to have a Prada handbag, it is absolutely possible. Exact replica designer handbags can be found for Prada handbags and are extremely affordable, giving you the opportunity to feel rich and fabulous yourself, without breaking your bank! prada sunglasses men You can personalize the design of your authentic Prada handbag. You can change its leather material and choose from different selections. These include togo, lizard skin, snake skin, box calf, crocodile skin, and ostrich skin. You can also change the dimensions of the bag to make it bigger or smaller. You can choose from shades like glazed silver, rose red, black, red, pink, purple, and blue. One of the best advantages of the handbags at EuroHandbag is the low price that does not exceed $500.

The new collection has all bags covered in plastic jewels, from cluthes to totes, from shoulder bags to vanity bags. They are made of top quality fabric materials. If you need something to glam up your end-of-year parties, you can select from the collection. Especially the fabric clutch, it is obsolutely your first choice to go out for Christmas and New Year parties. As you know, handbags with jewels detail can make gorgeous dazzling show. As for me, I love the clutch and the vanity bag. So girly! prada handbag knockoffs And as an artistic work, it’s worthy to note that this Prada bag is so delicate and should not touch water. You’d better take special care of it. With fragile designs such as these, color bleeding problems are by no means exclusive to Prada, and the sensible thing to do would be to cover delicate bags of this nature in a plastic bag when it’s raining or in danger of getting wet. Above all, store this bag carefully in its felt-cover pouch, when not in use, to protect its soft leather and dreamy illustrations from the elements. Do not feel troublesome, you can’t image how many people admire at your masterpiece bag. By: Julminia

I am having issue while upgrading from SCOM2007 SP1 to R2. I have completed all the checklist for the installation but still get the error message-

"An older version of Operations Manager 2007 that Setup cannot upgrade has been found on this computer.

Uninstall the older version and run Setup again."

In the installation error log -

I am not sure whether I am using unsupported version. Currently I am using SCOM 2007 SP1 (build 6.0.6278.0 Select) and trying to upgrade to R2 Evalaluation copy.

I have also tried the steps found in the following links -

Could anyone kindly help on this ?

Thanks in advance.

any ideas?

How can I continue evaluating this product?

Appreciate your feedback.

Thanks.

Currently in MPs the discoveries are run on a fixed frequency which can be overridden. But what i want is that i should be able to run a partucilar discovery on a particular event.. Lets say a particular discovery should run when an alert gets generated..

OR

can we run the discovery from powershell script or a .Net program using MOM SDK

Thank you

If I open up the health explorer on the win2k8 server it has a lot of monitors that are not working (i.e. no green check box signifying the entity is healthy but also no red x stating there is a problem either). I have gone in to the "Monitors" section under the "Authoring" tab and have looked to make sure that everything for the win2k8 and win2k3 servers are enabled by default. I have also checked the management packs and it appears that all of the proper win2k3 and win2k8 packs are installed. Any other ideas of why this happens?

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.

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?

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.

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?

Any ideas???

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.

I am new to SCOM, so I will be very thankful if anyone can help me.

If I have to go with multiple server scenario to manage servers outside of the domain, what are the bare necessity components to put on each server? I know sql would be on its own box, but how are the other components broken up?

Thanks,
Craig
