Never Ending Discovery
Originally posted at http://msmvps.com/blogs/jfhann/archive/2008/09/19/opsmgr-2007-never-ending-discovery.aspx While trying to install agents in a OpsMgr 2007 SP1 environment, we had a never ending discovery issue. Not matter which type of discovery we selected from the Discovery Wizard, they all just ran and ran and. There did not appear to be any events or alerts related to this issue, so we were stumped. After search Microsoft resources, we found the answer. SQL Broker. It wasn't activated nor enabled on the OperationsManger database. We used the following SQL statements to get it going: USE master; GO CREATE ENDPOINT BrokerEndpoint STATE = STARTED AS TCP ( LISTENER_PORT = 4037 ) FOR SERVICE_BROKER ( AUTHENTICATION = WINDOWS ) ; GO ALTER DATABASE OperationsManager SET ENABLE_BROKER -JFH Posted by jfhann at Ops Manager - John Hann Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP1 with R2

Network Monitor 3.2
We are so excited about this release. The team put a lot of effort into this version, adding many of the requests we heard from our customers, while simultaneously fixing bugs and stabilizing the product. We hope you enjoy this release! Please feel free to leave feedback on http://blogs.technet.com/netmon or participate in our Network Monitor survey Now, let's deep dive into some of the details of Network Monitor 3.2 Where are the bits? Externally Network Monitor 3.2 is available on Microsoft.com. The link is: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=f4db40af-1e08-4a21-a26b-ec2f4dc4190d&DisplayLang=en. Network Monitor 3.2 will also be offered as an optional feature package in the next few weeks via Microsoft Update if you have a previous version of Network Monitor 3.x installed. To check for updates, click on Help>Check for Updates from the product menu (versions 3.1 and higher) or visit the site http://update.microsoft.com/Microsoftupdate. So What's New in Network Monitor 3.2? § Process Tracking: Now you can identify rogue applications sending network data! View all the processes on your machine generating network traffic (process name and PID). Use the conversation tree to view frames associated with each process.
§ Capture engine re-architecture to improve capture rate in high-speed networks. Network Monitor 3.2 drops significantly fewer frames that Network Monitor 3.1. § Find conversations: You asked for this. Many of our users found conversation tracking to be difficult to use as the view grew hard to manage, and it was difficult to correlate the frames they were seeing with the conversation nodes in the tree. Now, you can quickly isolate frames in the same network conversation. Just right-click on a frame and select a conversation to track, and you will see all the frames in that conversation. View TCP streams, HTTP flows etc.
§ Extensive parser set: Parsers for over 300 protocols! As before, the parsers are fully customizable. § Better parser management: By default only a subset of parsers are loaded. You can load the full parser set by going to Tools>Options>Parser and choose Full vs. Stub implementations. § CodePlex Ready: In the upcoming months, we plan to place all our Windows parsers on the Microsoft open-source CodePlex site and allow the community to modify and contribute parsers. You can find out more information on this here. This version of Network Monitor seamlessly integrates new parser packages. § Network Monitor API: Create your own applications that capture, parse and analyze network traffic! § More extensive documentation of the API and NPL. Access the documentation from Help > NPL and API Documentation. § IA64 builds. § PCAP capture file support*. § ContainsBin Plug-in: Search frames for arbitrary byte sequences or strings. § . and more. See our Release Notes in the Help directory of the installation folder for a complete list of new features and known issues. How to read the defrag log fileSometimes in mom 2005 you want to know the value thats in a log file. Create a batch file. called SCCdefrag.cmd This is a sample batch file for defrag your server. For emailing this log file I used BLAT. below is a default script i got from the WEB Go to your MOM administrator Console and add a new provider.
Choose Application log file
Filin the logfile directory and the logfile name
Now Create A management pack that kicks the Rule. Create a new rule and choose the just created Provider. in our case the defragmentatie
Remember use parameter 4 and the text must be 100% the same as in your log file, and the rule reads only the first log line. Text is case sensitive.

MOM 2005 Availability Management PackTags van Technorati: Tags van Technorati: repair,MRAS,MOM,Availability,Management Pack,scheduled task,stop running How To repair Your MRAS. MOM Availability Management Pack, sometimes the scheduled task wil never stop running. So you need to fix this. But what can you do so many tables so little time. first we check the version. but In my case I removed the Availability Reporting just to make sure. First step :Check your version Use SystemCenterReporting SELECT * FROM MRAS_MRASInstallVersion
The procversion should be 1.8 this indicates that you are using the latest available MP version Which versions of the Availability MP are affected Remember always use the latest version this is MP 05.0.5000.0001
Second Step :check if you have Orphaned Servers Use SystemCenterReporting Select uidServer as ComputerID,nvcServerName as OrphanedServer from mras_server A where A.uidServer not in (Select ComputerID from sc_computerdimension_table) Output :If the above query does return rows it is most likely the Orphaned server column contains the server names of those servers missing from reports or containing stale data.
Third step :The Fix For this run the SQL query. Use SystemCenterReporting Select uidServer into #Orphans From MRAS_Server a Where a.uidServer Not In (Select ComputerID From SC_ComputerDimension_View) Declare @uidToRemove uniqueidentifier Declare uidCur cursor forward_only for Select uidServer From #Orphans Open uidCur fetch next from uidCur into @uidToRemove while @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 Begin exec MRAS_pcDeleteServer @uidToRemove Delete From MRAS_Server Where uidServer=@uidToRemove Fetch next from uidCur into @uidToRemove End Drop table #Orphans
Re running de query
Next step is use the report cleaner from clive. you can download it here
Reinstall the Reporting not the MMC UI
Now this is done I checked the Scheduled task yeb it is there.
And started the MMC for my reports.
So I kicked the task else I have to wait. and it is running Remember the first run can take some time.
Yeb and done with a 0x0
Just wait a few day's to see the Reports. Microsoft Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates Commercial
See the video on youtube Microsoft Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates Commercial
REDMOND, Wash. — Sept. 4, 2008 — “This is the Conquistador,” explains Jerry Seinfeld, showing a befuddled Bill Gates a brown loafer. “They run very tight.” After seeing the new ad from Microsoft, which debuted today, some may wonder what Jerry Seinfeld helping Bill Gates pick out a new pair of shoes has to do with software. The answer, in the classic Seinfeld sense of the word, is nothing. Nevertheless, the spot is the first and most visible sign of an ambitious effort by Microsoft’s Windows business to reconnect with consumers around the globe. The new campaign will highlight how Windows has become an indispensible part of the lives of a billion people around the globe -- not only on PCs but also now online and via mobile devices. It will illustrate how Windows integrates consumer experiences across PCs, online and on mobile phones through Windows Vista, Windows Live and Windows Mobile. Microsoft is working with retail partners and PC manufacturers to enhance the experience consumers have with Windows at every touch-point: Read more on source : http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/windows/featureStories.aspx?story=660dee9e-9606-4e77-843e-ed81d83c0bfe The System Center Configuration Manager has been Released To Manufacturing (RTM).
