Cannot Connect to Console

Wednesday, 12 August 2009 02:33 by hagermanr
First, I’ll admit it. I got stupid. I was messing around where I did not belong and as a result, I took out the console access for our pre-production management group. With that being said, I’ll make two disclaimers here. First, don’t freakin TOUCH your backend SCOM database without first doing a f... [More]

Clearing Your Cache

Tuesday, 21 July 2009 03:46 by hagermanr
While working with the Exchange Server Admins, we had an issue where they had to delete the SCOM cache rather often on a large number of servers. The process for this is to log into each host, stop the OpsMgr Health Service service, delete the Health Service State folder then restart the service. T... [More]

Regular Expressions (Case Sensitive)

Tuesday, 2 June 2009 23:54 by hagermanr
Regular expressions are case sensitive for the most part. My users of SCOM tend to create groups and use regular expressions against the host names to get a list of servers they own. They generally look like this: ^(xch\-|XCH\-) This returns all Exchange servers both upper and lower case. What h... [More]

Iterating Groups in SCOM

Monday, 1 December 2008 23:51 by hagermanr
  Greetings all, I've had the fundamental need to go through and find all of the servers in the SCOM console that belong to a specific group. The idea is that we monitor most servers with SCOM and send the critical hardware and OS alerts to another company that uses OVO while the ... [More]

Email

Wednesday, 29 October 2008 11:23 by hagermanr
There is a fundamental need within SCOM to send email to individuals based on an individual alert. For instance, when you create a user account without following the proper process, an alert is generated  and an email gets sent to Winfra. Winfra has a rule in Outlook to send the email on to s...

The Windows Service

Friday, 17 October 2008 13:09 by hagermanr
 Ok, on to the Windows service. There are a couple of things about a Windows service. First, you need a timer and second, unless you want to wait until the timer ticks down to 0, you need to place your code in a routine and call it for the first time from the OnStart() method. So, in ... [More]

SCOM Subscriptions

Thursday, 25 September 2008 07:17 by hagermanr
We have noticed over the last few weeks, a problem where subscriptions in System Center Operations Manager 2007 suddenly and for no reason we can identify, become disabled. This is a bad thing because these subscriptions are used to send email and pages to folks like Winfra when there is a critica... [More]

Clustering and High Availability (There is a Difference!)

Saturday, 20 September 2008 04:00 by hagermanr
I had an extensive conversation today with Erik Loftstrand at Microsoft. We discussed in detail the benefits (or lack thereof) of clustering the root management server in a System Center Operations Manager 2007 deployment. Erik was of the opinion that there is no benefit to clustering the RMS. ... [More]

Subscriptions

Friday, 19 September 2008 04:03 by hagermanr
A while back, we noticed that the subscriptions in SCOM where becoming disabled for no known reason. In the end, I wrote a Windows service to monitor the subscriptions and re-enable them should they become disabled. Well, we finally found a reason and solution. This, believe it or not, is by ...

Attributes

Wednesday, 3 September 2008 10:17 by hagermanr
I’ve been playing with ways to figure out how to automate the grouping of monitored servers. I have a customer who wants to see just their servers. I can create a group and add their servers manually to that group but I think I have a better way of doing it. I can create an attribute. ... [More]
