Richard Gerrits [Visitor] in response to: Cluster Disks management pack addendum updated

Richard Gerrits [Visitor] — Fri, 10 May 2013 16:27:17 +0000

I tried signing this MP, but the signed version wouldn't import.

Probable cause: the % character in "Cluster Disk - % Free Space"
Replacing this with "<![CDATA[Cluster Disk - % Free Space]]>" solved the problem.

Thank you for the addition Keith. NOrmally I would select to run such scheduled tasks or manual tasks from a management server, but you are right, that it can be done from another location as well. Good one.

HI Julian, in that case you can open up the services.msc on that machine, go to the properties of the service. There it lists the internal name of the service. While creating the SCOM monitor you can use the browse button to try to find a service, or you can simply type that internal service name. For instance, the System Center Management service in SCOm is called the Healthservice as internal name if you open its properties.
A number of system services are already monitored by several management packs you will already have loaded onto your system.

In SCOM 2012, when you browse the services of a Windows computer, not all services are displayed.

I have a service which I need to monitor which is setup as Startup Type = Automatic, Log On As = Local System, but it, and quite a few other services, do not show up in the list.

A lot of the services which do not show are Windows system services such as DHCP Client, DNS Client, IIS Admin service, etc.

Thanks Bob for your article. Thanks Brandt also for the notes on setting up as a scheduled task. One additional note that if you are running the scheduled task on another system besides a management server make sure to include "new-scommanagementgroupconnection -computername" ie: -Command "& {Import-Module OperationsManager; new-scommanagementgroupconnection -computername ScomMSName ; Get-SCOMAgent | where {$_.ProxyingEnabled.Value -eq $False} | Enable-SCOMAgentProxy}"

@Andrew The SP1 downloads for System Center are all full installers of the complete product (but at the SP1 level). They can be downlaoded from MVLS if you have that, or MSDN or TechNet based on your access to those and if it is applicable for your environment.

Hi Shiva, first have a look at the fresh new Azure management pack and guides. They might help you further. There is a difference in monitoring SQL in azure against normal in house SQL servers, but its also possible to work with them as normal in house servers if you happen to run these as Azure VM's with a site-to-site vpn for instance. Lots of differences.

The above article is for the 2007 version of SCOM. In SCOM 2012 a number of commands have changed. Especially SCOM cmdlets now have the SCOM piece in the noun as Jason says.

Bob Cornelissen [Member] — Wed, 01 May 2013 10:32:07 +0000

Thats strange, as there are only a few lines in the script. Are you running it on a machine with a scom 2012 agent on it with multiple mgmt groups configured and running it from and running it from the cscript from an elevated command prompt?

def does not work in scom 2012. also the where needs -ge. resolve-scomalert doesn't do it, it just modifies it and sends it back out the channel. for 2012 use set-scomalert.
