SCOM / PowerShell : Number of locked AD accounts

mars 08, 2010 By: Christopher Keyaert Category: Scom 2007, powershell No Comments →

Dear All,

Here a new little powershell script that creates an event 6970 in the event viewer when there is more than X accounts locked in less than Y minutes. Now, you just have to create a new rule in SCOM that collect event with the ID6970 and schedule that script to run every 10 minutes.

Thanks to that you can be alert when there is an attack attempt to your Active Directory.

OpsMgr / SCOM : Automatic Agent Deployment With PowerShell

janvier 20, 2010 By: Christopher Keyaert Category: Scom 2007, powershell No Comments →

Hello everyone,

Some weeks ago, I had to deploy SCOM Agent on more than 350 windows servers at the time. For that, I wrote a PowerShell Script where you just have to give a server list in input and the name of your RMS/MS . And that’s it, the script is performing the agent installation for you. A CSV file will be generated as output with the agent installation status of each servers.

Concerning the right management, you have to ensure that the Default Action Account using on the server that you will use for deploying the agents (MS normally), has administrative right on the servers that you want to add in SCOM. For that, and the duration of the deployment only, use a Domain Admin Account as the Run As Account of your MS/RMS.

The script :

There are two ways to solve this problem, you can recreate the /dev/random file or do a manual agent install.

For both fixes, clean off the partially installed agent using the commands

  1. rpm -e scx
  2. rm -rf /etc/opt/microsoft/scx

Then if you want to make it so that discovery will work from the wizard use the commands

  1. rm /dev/random
  2. mknod -m 644 /dev/random c 1 9
  3. chown root:root /dev/random

A manual install requires copying the appropriate package from %Program Files%\System Center Operations Manager 2007\AgentManagement\UnixAgents to the Unix\Linux machine and installing it directly.

After fixing the install issue, switch the /dev/random file back to a signed random file using the commands:

  1. rm /dev/random
  2. mknod -m 644 /dev/random c 1 8
  3. chown root:root /dev/random

SCOM2007 : Jalasoft Xian Io for VmWare Monitoring

novembre 26, 2008 By: Christopher Keyaert Category: Scom 2007, Windows No Comments →

Now monitor your network devices and Unix servers directly in System Center Operations Manager 2007 with the latest version of Xian Network Manager! Advanced new features like, device update, network scan task, linkable policy templates are only a few of the many new features in Xian Io. Check out more information and download the free evaluation version to see the power of Xian yourself.

It is possible that your VC is v2.5, our Virtual Center SMP does not support that version by default, but we have developed a patch in order to provide support for this version. Just follow these steps in order to apply it:

1. Download the patch from: http://download.jalasoft.com/pub/patches/JS0176TD/Patch20080711.zip
2. Go to the server where Xian was deployed and stop the ‘Jalasoft Xian Network Manager’ service.
3. Go to the following folder: ‘[program files]\Jalasoft\Xian Network Manager Io\Plugins\Jalasoft.Xian.Plugin.VMwareVirtualCenter\resources\’
4. Replace the ‘Jalasoft.Xian.Plugin.VMwareVirtualCenter.config.xml’ file with the recently downloaded.
5. Start the ‘Jalasoft Xian Network Manager Server’ service.
6. Open the Xian console and try discovering your virtual centers. Please note that discovering a VC could take several time (depending on the amount of ESX servers hosted in it), so it is recommended to increase the ‘timeout’ and  ‘maximum number of retries’ parameters on the execution of the discovery rule.
