Configuration Manager and Easy Servicing

Now with the later releases of Configuration Manager Microsoft has introduced something called Easy Servicing which allows for updates to be automatically installed and updated within an enviroment. Now there have been some major updates to Configuration Manager already such as https://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn965439.aspx#BKMK_TP3Update

TP3, Build 1509 and Build 1510.

For those that have tried the Easy Servicing and have had issues with running the installation here are some tips. (This applies from going from 1509 to 1510 build.

If you have the update available in the console but are unable to run the 1510 update,  (If you see in the HMAN.log you can find the following error mesage)

*** EXEC spCMUSetUpdatePackageState N’db316362-77fc-46c9-9984-1baeb20615f4′, 262146, N», N’15.10.2015 05:17:50′   SMS_HIERARCHY_MANAGER     10/15/2015 2:37:59 PM  1032 (0x0408)

*** [42000][8114][Microsoft][ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server][SQL Server]Error converting data type nvarchar to datetime. : spCMUSetUpdatePackageState SMS_HIERARCHY_MANAGER     10/15/2015 2:37:59 PM         1032 (0x0408)

run the following SQL query against the SQL database.

EXEC spCMUSetUpdatePackageState N’ DB316362-77FC-46C9-9984-1BAEB20615F4′, 262146, N»

Also some others from the TechNet site:

1. Symptom: The Configuration Manager console displays the rule that failed.

   Solution: Fix the Prerequisite Check rule error. For example, if you do not have Windows 10 ADK installed and the associated prerequisite rule fails, install the Windows 10 ADK. Then, re-run <ConfigMgr_installation_folder>\EasySetupPayload\dcd17922-2c96-4bd7-b72d-e9159582cdf2\SMSSETUP\BIN\X64\prereqchk.exe on the site server. Once the check completes without an error, Version 1509 for Technical Preview will automatically restart.

2. The installation for Version 1509 for Technical Preview stops unexpectedly.

   Symptom: The Configuration Manager console displays that the Version 1509 for Technical Preview installation has failed and Configuration Manager console no longer shows the update as available for installation. This might occur if a Configuration Manager service has stopped.

   Solution: Identify the error in the CMUpdate.log file and fix the issue, if possible. Then, make sure the Configuration Manager services are running, such as SMS_EXECUTIVE, SMS_SITE_COMPONENT_MANAGER, CONFIGURATION_MANAGER_UPDATE. Then, re-run <ConfigMgr_installation_folder>\EasySetupPayload\dcd17922-2c96-4bd7-b72d-e9159582cdf2\SMSSETUP\BIN\X64\prereqchk.exe on the site server. Once the check completes without an error, Version 1509 for Technical Preview will automatically restart.

If you are having issues that the updates are not showing in the console, you can try to restart the SMS_DMP_DOWNLOADER component, which should trigger the download. You can follow the dmpdownloader.log file.

Now after a while the component should be available in the Console

Which we now can right click and choose check prerequisites. In the right corner we can click and see the status of the update.

Ohh and if you have trouble with the setup not working, and getting error message such as

You need to have the SQL2012 native client installed, which can be found here –> http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=261336

Then you can follow the cmupdate.log for further messages and status around the update happening in the background.

But eventually the updated is ready and we can install the update

And voila!

So now that the update is complete, what is new ?

Windows 10 servicing plans!

Allow us to select deployment rings for a specific collection

Yay! Still waiting for the Office365 parts to appear.

Wire Data in Operations Management Suite

Microsoft finally released a new solutions pack to Operations Management suite the other day, which I have been waiting for since Ignite! WireData!!!

This is an solution pack that gathers meta data about your network, it requires a local agent installed on your servers as with other solution packs but allows you to get more detailed information about network traffic happening inside your infrastructure.

So if you have OMS you just need to go into the solution pack and add the wire data pack

But note that after adding the solution pack It need a while to gather the necessery data to create a sort of baseline about the network traffic.

After it is done it groups together the communication that has happend on the agents to see what kind of protocols that are often in use

For instance I see that there is alot of Unknown traffic happening on my agent, I can do a drill down to see more info about that particular traffic. Then I can see in detail where the traffic is going

I can also do a drill down to se what kind of process is initiating the traffic going back and forth. Something I would like to see in this, is the ability to add custom info, lets say for instance if I have a particular application running which uses some custom ports and processes I would like to add a custom name to that application so It can appear in the logs and in the overview.

Other then that it provides some great insight in what kind of traffic is going back and forth inside the infrastrucutre, and Microsoft has added some great common queries.

Netscaler masterclass presentation Oktober 2014

Today I presented on the Netscaler masterclass on the subject,  System Center and Netscaler and here is my presentation –> https://www.slideshare.net/secret/uSy62iG3eeoaFY

My talk consisted about using the different integrations between System Center and Netscaler, primarly on

• Virtual Machine Manager and Netscaler (Using the load balancer extention to deploy load balancing rules for service templates)
• Operations Manager and Netscaler (How to setup monitoring for Netscaler and use it together with Distributed Applications)
• Orchestrator and Netscaler (How to setup automation tasks against Netsacler using the NITRO SDK)

System Center Configuration Manager 2012 R2 CU3

Today Microsoft released CU3 version of ConfigMgr 2013 R2, and there are some minor bugfixes but there is also one important new change here!

That is the ability to define allowed Management Points for a client to communicate with,

This cumulative update introduces a new registry key on clients that will restrict which management point (MP) a client can communicate with. This can be useful in environments with multiple MP’s in different forests, and the clients are only able to communicate with a subset of them. Setting the registry value to only those MP’s reachable by the client can improve overall efficiency. The new registry value is AllowedMPs, a REG_MULTI_SZ (multi-string) type under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CCM

Each entry is the Fully Qualified Domain Name of the management point(s) with which the client is allowed to communicate. This value does not affect the selection of any other site systems such as distribution points, software update points, etc.; it only affects the primary site MP selection. Note: Once defined, there is no “fallback” or other method for clients to communicate with other MP’s. It is not intended for mobile clients.”

XenDesktop 7.5 and Windows Azure Pack Gallery Image

Yesterday Citrix announced a Tech Preview of a XenDesktop 7.5 Gallery image for Azure Pack.
For those so not familiar with Azure Pack, this is a portal which builds upon System Center (and some other tools) do deliver an Azure-like portal where you can setup some of the features like Azure does. I’ve blogged about it before if you want to know more about it here –> https://msandbu.wordpress.com/2013/06/28/azure-pack-configuration-for-windows-server-2012-r2/

Now a Gallery Image is where a end-user want to provision a new-service, he can either choose custom create of choose a finished Image from the gallery.
(A copy from the Azure Gallery)

Now imaging giving customers the ability to provision XenDestkop resources as they need it. Or just for the IT-guys to have a streamlined process of doing it. This is where the XenDesktop gallery image comes in.

Now what do we need to setup this image ?

• Windows Azure Pack
• Server 2012 R2 image sysprepped
• XenDesktop 7.5 Media
• The XenDesktop Gallery Image

Then we need to do alot of changes, first we need to create a new VHD which will contain the setup files. First go into disk management and create a new VHD (Which needs to be 4GB) which is called XenDesktop.vhd

After you created the VHD, mount it using Explorer and copy the content from the 7.5 ISO to the VHD file.
When you are done with this, go into the Virtual Machine Manager console, the into the library node and then click import physical resources.

Then choose “add resources”, select the XenDesktop.vhd then select which library server and destionation to store the VHD file. After it is finished importing right-click on it and choose properties. The set Famility to CitrixXenDesktopMedia, and then set the release to 7.5.0.0 and lastly set the operating system type to “none”

Then Click OK, after we are done with this we need to modify our operating system disk image. Does this need to be VHD ? YES! Azure Pack does not support VHDX. ) and it needs to be fixed)

Right-click on the sysprepped VHDX file and choose Properties, from there alter the Famility to which type of operating system it is running, in my case its
”Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter”

and set the release to 1.0.0.0 and then of course change the Operating System to Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter as well.

Click OK after you are done. Next we need to “tag” the virtual disks so that the gallery item can use to find the vhds.

Open up Virtual Machine Manager PowerShell console. Run the following command,

$myVhd = Get-SCVirtualHardDisk | where {$_.Name -match ‘sysprepped’} “Make sure that the name matches the name of your VHD file)

$tags = $myvhd.tag
$tags += «WindowsServer2012»
Set-scvirtualharddisk -virtualharddisk $myVHD -Tag $tags

$myVhd.Tag (This spits out the info so you can see that the tag is applied)

Now we need to import the Gallery image extention to the Library share, this can either be done by using the GUI or the PowerShell.

PowerShell

$libraryShare = Get-SCLibraryShare | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq ‘MSSCVMMLibrary’}
$resextpkg = «C:\Users\administrator.CONTOSO\Downloads\XenDesktopRole.resextpkg» (Here the path needs to be changed to where the resextpkg is located)
Import-CloudResourceExtension -ResourceExtensionPath $resextpkg -SharePath $libraryShare

Next we need to enter Azure Pack – admin site. Go into VM Clounds and Gallery and choose Import.

From here add the XenDesktopRole.resdefpkg, and verifies that it actually imports.

Next we need to make this item, public and add it do some different plans.

Go into the item and choose Make Public, then assign to some plans. If you don’t have any plans you need to create some from the plans menu pane within the Admin site.

So what now ? Open the Azure Pack site as and tenant which is enabled for the plan and choose from Gallery and see for yourself.

 

Then click next (From here the OS “sysprepped” image should appear and you need to have a virtual network in place before you can continue on here .

Next we can define which role this VM should have, and we can setup a XenDeskTop Controller but we still need to create the site after VM creation. But we can also deploy StoreFront, LicenseServer, Session Host and Desktop Director

Pretty cool!

Veeam Management pack for Hyper-V and Vmware walktrough

Yesterday, Veeam released their new management pack which for the first time includes support for both Vmware and Hyper-V. Now I have gotten a lot of questions regarding (Why have Hyper-V monitoring if Microsoft has it ?) well Veeam’s pack has alot more features included, such as capacity planning, heat maps and so on.

The management pack can be downloaded as an free trial from veeam’s website here –> http://www.veeam.com/system-center-management-pack-vmware-hyperv.html

Now as for the architecture of the functionality here it’s quite simple

First of there are two components.

• Veeam Virtualization Extesions (Service and UI) it manages connections to VMware systems and the Veeam Collector(s), controling licensing, load balancing, and high availability

• Veeam Collector component gathers data from VMware and injects its information into the Ops Agent.

It is possible to install all of these components on the management server itself. You can also install the collector service on other servers which have the Opsmgr agent installed. The virtualization extension service must be installed on the management server.

In my case I wanted to install this on the mangement server itself, since I have a small enviroment. Before I started the installation I needed to make sure that the management server was operating in proxy mode.

Next I started the installation on the management server. Now as with all of Veeams setup it can automatically configure all prerequisites and is pretty straight forward. (Note it will automatically import all required management packs into SCOM

If you have a large enviroment it is recommended to split ut collectors into different hosts and create a resource pool (There is an online calculator which can help you find out how many collectors you need) http://www.veeam.com/support/mp_deployment.html

You can also define if collector roles should be automatically deployed

After the installation is complete (using the default ports) you will find the extensions shortcut on the desktop

By default this opens a website on the localhost (using port 4430) from here we need to enter the connection information to Vmware (Hyper-V hosts are discovered automatically when they have the agent installed) Same with Veeam Backup servers as well.

After you have entered the connection info you will also get a header saying the recommended number of collector hosts.

After this is finished setup you can open the OpsMgr console. From here there is one final task that is needed. Which is to Configure the Health Service, this can be dome from tasks under _All_active_Alerts under VMware monitoring pane.

After this is done you need to expect atleast 15 min before data is populated into your OpsMgr servers, depending on the load. You can also view the events logs on the Opsmgr servers to see that data is correctly imported.

and after a while, voila!

I can for instance view info about storage usage

 

Vm information

Now I could show grafs and statistics all day but one of the cool stuff in this release, is the cloud capacity planning reports.

They allow it to see for instance how many virtual machines I would need in Azure (and what type) to move them there.

Setup Management pack for SQL 2012 with Operations Manager

Now Microsoft recently released their new management pack for SQL Server, which included new dashboard views for SQL administrators. Now this is nice and it gives a clear overview of the current configuration and what’s happening at the time. Now it supports most the SQL versions, except 2014 (yet…)

Version	32-bit SQL Server on 32-bit OS	32-bit SQL Server on 64-bit OS	64-bit SQL Server on 64-bit OS
SQL Server 2005	Supported	Supported*	Supported (for SQL Server 2005 SP2 or later only)
SQL Server 2008	Supported	Supported*	Supported
SQL Server 2008 R2	Supported	Supported*	Supported
SQL Server 2012	Supported	Supported*	Supported

Another heads up! is that by default Microsoft recommends that you monitor no more then 50 databases (per agent) to avoid spikes in the CPU usage. And also not all features are discovered and monitored by default

So in order to get monitoring on these features we would neeed to create en override on the different objects. This can be done by going into Authoring –> Management Pack –> Objects –> Object Discovery –> Scope –> (Choose SQL objects) right-click on the feature which is not enabled and choose Override –> choose a class for which you want this overide to work for. Then create a new management pack and choose Enabled == True

 

Now the installation is quite simple, head to this webpage and download the management packs –> http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=10631

Download and then go into the Operations Manager Console –> Administration –> Management Packs –> Import

(NOTE: it is also an best-practice to import the Windows Server management packs first in order to properly monitor aspects such as disk, processor, memory, network)

And after we have imported the management packs we get alot of tasks related to SQL in the dashboard

In order to use these we need to install the SQL management studio on the Operations Manager server. After you have imported the managmeent pack you also need to attach accounts to the SQL profiles in order to have the proper access to the SQL servers.

This post from Kevin Holman (which is a couple of years old, still explains in good detail how to configure the profiles and accounts –> http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2010/09/08/configuring-run-as-accounts-and-profiles-in-r2-a-sql-management-pack-example.aspx)

Now after you have properly configured the managment pack with permissions, its time to do some proper tuning. For instance by default, the mangement pack will not inform about database backups, which I find a bit disturbing since this is something I would really want to monitor.

In order to enable this monitor go into Monitoring pane –> Microsoft SQL Server –> SQL Server Database Engines –> Databases –> Databases view (Then choose a random SQL database) right-click choose open –> Health explorer (Click the filter monitors to remove showing of unhealth objects) Then under Database backup status it does not have any info.

Now right-click on that object and choose override –> choose enabled true and enter a date here where it should check how old the database is.

After you have then stored this in a mangement pack and choosen which object this rule should apply to, Operations Manager should start to report back with the status if you have taken backup or not.

I can see that after enabling the rule, the alarm appears.

Now there are of course loads of different monitors, which will cause overhead to the SQL server and the operations manager. Many monitors are by default added because Microsoft thinks its a good idea, but your database admin or yourself might not agree. Important to remember that Microsoft have to create a baseline which applies to most setups but if you don’t agree you can customize to your hearts desire!

So I live by a rule with Operations Manager, if you don’t need to monitor it. Disable it!
Last but not least a preview of the new dashboards which comes with the new management pack

Task sequences best practices Configuration Manager 2012

Microsoft has recently released a document series which contain best practices for task sequences with Configuration Manager 2012 R2. This series goes trough a step-by-step in all the different steps in a task sequence.

For all IT-pros working with task sequences I suggest taking a look at the document series here –> http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=43412

In other related news, my fellow MVP Kent Agerlund has released a new book (updated) for Configuration Manager 2012 R2 master the fundamentals, which you also should take a look at if you want to learn more –> http://www.amazon.co.uk/System-Center-2012-Configuration-Manager/dp/9187445085/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1404503771&sr=8-1&keywords=kent+agerlund

Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter 2.0

So this is such a great update I have to blog about it, I have been in many projects involving migrating from VMware to Hyper-V and there of course many options to choose from there. Alas Microsoft had its own Virtual Machine Converter but didn’t have support for the latest version.

Microsoft today released a new version of Virtual MAchine Converter which contains the following updates:

With the release today, you will be able to access many updated features including:

• Added support for vCenter & ESX(i) 5.5
• VMware virtual hardware version 4 – 10 support
• Linux Guest OS migration support including CentOS, Debian, Oracle, Red Hat Enterprise, SuSE enterprise and Ubuntu.

We have also added two great new features:

• On-Premises VM to Azure VM conversion: You can now migrate your VMware virtual machines straight to Azure. Ease your migration process and take advantage of Microsoft’s cloud infrastructure with a simple wizard driven experience.
• PowerShell interface for scripting and automation support: Automate your migration via workflow tools including System Center Orchestrator and more. Hook MVMC 2.0 into greater processes including candidate identification and migration activities.

 

So alot of great new features which should make it even easier to convert Virtual Machines. Also another important factor here is this.

At this time, we are also announcing the expected availability of MVMC 3.0 in fall of 2014. In that release we will be providing physical to virtual (P2V) machine conversion for supported versions of Windows.

Since Microsoft removed this option from SCVMM in R2 release its great that it is coming back. You can download the tool from here –> http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42497

System Center 2012 tools and third-party extensions

This is something I’ve been meaning to write for some time, since I see new  tools and extensions added to System Center every day. Many of these extensions are powerful and free which many use in their day to day job. So therefore I decided to write down a list of those tools I know free or otherwise(cost money) for the System Center portofolia. This list shows the whole ecosystems around System Center and the possibilities it has!  Im guessing that many here might be new to someone. Hopefully some of these tools are of use to you

And if someone knows of an extension or tool that is not on the list please leave a comment and ill add it to the list ASAP.
