Enable remote WMI access on Windows 2003
edited by on September 16th 2015, at 10:16
If you want to do agentless monitoring of a Windows 2003 host, you need to configure WMI to allow remote querying.

Open Computer Management (Administrative Tools). Expand Services and Applications. Right-click WMI Control, then click Properties.

Select the Security tab, click the Root namespace, then click the Security button at the bottom.

Add the user that will need access to WMI. This is usually the service account running the System Center agent on the host that will monitor this host.When adding the account, be sure to allow for Remote Enable.

If Windows Firewall is in use, you also have to allow for remote management:

Open a command prompt.

Type the following to allow remote mana  ...
 
Recurring "Data Access Service SPN Not Registered" each time SCOM 2012 restarts

If your management servers have their System Center Data Access Service (SDK/DAS service) running as a domain service account, you may get the following error each time the management server(s) or SDK/DAS service is restarted, even though all SPNs are correctly registered:

Kerberos authentication on SQL Server not possible because of missing SPN
edited by on September 4th 2015, at 09:25
Often overlooked during the installation of a Microsoft SQL Server is the creating of the required Service Principal Name(s) (SPN) to enable authentication through Kerberos. SCOM highlights this oversight nicely with this warning:

Alert Description
SQL Server cannot authenticate using Kerberos because the Service Principal Name (SPN) is missing, misplaced, or duplicated.
Service Account: CONTOSO\s_clsql_sqlsrv_de
Missing SPNs: MSSQLSvc/CLSQL01.contoso.com:MSSQL, MSSQLSvc/CLSQL01.contoso.com:1433
Misplaced SPNs:
Duplicate SPNs:

The solution is simple: create the SPNs. All the info you need is actually in the alert's description. Use the information to create the SPNs.

System Center agent not properly discovering services on a server
edited by on September 2nd 2015, at 16:29
If you notice that SCOM is not properly discovering services on a particular server (e.g. it does not detect the presence of Exchange), you can resolve this by clearing the cache of the agent on the server. This will trigger a new full discovery, and the agent should now be able to detect the new services:

Log on the server of which services are not discovered properly.

Stop the agent (System Center Management service): net stop HealthService



Delete the contents of the Health Service State folder, located in the installation folder of the agent.
(default location: %PROGRAMFILES%\System Center Operations Manager\Agent).

Start the agent again (System Center Management service): net start  ...

Check whether the data warehouse write user has a proxy server active. If this is the case, log in with that user on the RMS, and disable the proxy, or reconfigure it so it bypasses local addresses.
