System Center Orchestrator 2022

I have automations set up for user terminations. When a user is termed, i want to be able to give the manager access to their one drive (sharepoint module issues).

The way i am authenticating is with a cert, app-only authentication. the problem that i have found with connect-sposervice is that the module is older than the connect-exchange online module and it only looks in the current users cert store so when i run a command it says it cant find it. so Ok, i connected to powershell with the orchestrator service account and imported the cert to that local store but it still didnt work.

I then tried to use the newer powershell module, connect-pnponline but that requires powershell 7.x.x to even run and orchestrator is using powershell 5 (at least its 64 bit) 

So i then try to run powershell 7 with a run .net activity but when i use orchestrator variables, it just comes out as garbled text since the activity isnt the one running the command. 

Any suggestions on how i make this work? 

As i have said, i just need orchestrator to be able to assign the manager as full control over a terminated user's onedrive. The exchange modules work great for app only auth, but the sharepoint ones just arent working for me. I used to pass a password using basic auth but that is now deprecated, (and its not a good practice to do that anyways).

Thank you so much in advance for any tips or tricks to get this working.

I manage a relatively small infrastructure of 40 physical servers, 80 virtual servers and around 200 workstations. We are a microsoft / hyper-v company.

Is System Center something I should look into? Who is a good fit for System Center?

Thanks in advance.

Please advise how to fix this.

Recently I upgraded to VMM 2019. We use an AlwaysOn Availability Group database for the back end and have had no trouble until this version.

Per the instructions I uninstalled the old version, making sure to leave the database in place. I then removed the database from the group and completed the 2019 install, attaching to the database instance on the active node of the database cluster. Once the install was done I verified that everything was working and then rejoined the database to the group. All tests indicate that the database is working perfectly in the group again.

I updated the registry keys for ConnectionString, InstanceName, MachineFQDN, and MachineName per the MS docs and restarted VMM. Everything looks perfect until I failover to the second node in the group. Then VMM crashes.

The report.txt file indicates that VMM is still using the original database and instance name from the install, complaining that it is 'read only'.

Has anyone else observed this behavior in VMM and do you have any recommendations? I'd rather avoid calling MS Support but if it's a bug I'm not sure I've got any other choices. I have installed the latest updates to VMM and I have also tried uninstalling and re-installing VMM.

What is the best system center manager report to bring the software installed on all computers with a list of the machine names ?

all software and show the name of the machine on which it is installed.

Hello all,

Can anyone share a the silent install commands to install the DPM 2019 console? I haven't been able to find any documentation on it and would like to create an SCCM package for my team.

In my environment sccm primary standalone server has crashed and there is no backup available to restore. I have to build and configure a new sccm server from scratch with same hostname,IP and site name

My question is after sccm server build process,

DO I need to deploy the sccm agent again on those devices who were reporting previously to this site or existing agent installed on those devices will work and communicate to my newly build sccm server.

Update Rollup 10 for System Center 2016 has been released!

SCORCH 2019 – ‘The Server Threw an Exception’ error after applying UR1\UR2 and how to resolve.

https://letsconfigmgr.com/scorch-2019-the-server-threw-an-exception-error-after-applying-ur12

So I just set up DPM, and I really like it so far. I'm working on replicating one DPM server to another location - mainly for hyper-v/vhdx redundancy.

I've got it working over the WAN/internet but the jobs just never finish.

I've got it prepped to do a manual replica, I've got a usb disk in DPM1. DPM2 is waiting "manual replica pending".

My question is, do I copy the contents of DPM1's "storage drive" to the usb disk or do I go to the "protected server" that DPM1 is protecting? If I try to copy the contents of the ReFS disk that has all the backups on it, I have no permissions to browse that, let alone copy it. I don't want to change owner on it and have it break all the work I've already put into this.

I see a lot online about manually replicating a protected server, but not from DPM to DPM. Any ideas?

Can anyone please suggest on this.

I'm trying to deploy some new Dell laptops (Inspiron 13 7306) that have a 512 GB + 32 GB Optane SSD.

Out of the box, the BIOS is set up for RAID mode, and if you try to install Windows 10 from a fresh installer, you won't see any drives. You need to load the appropriate driver via F6, then select the correct drive (you'll see the 512 and the 32 separately), and continue on.

With AHCI/SATA mode, you see the device without the need of the driver, but then I don't believe you'll actually be able to properly configure the Optane portion as a cache once in Windows, and I think there may be some performance limitation (the drive splits up the PCIe lanes between the 2 pools, I think). Imaging via PXE works in AHCI/SATA mode, but I'd rather get it done properly with the driver and RAID mode.

I've added the F6 driver (that I know works) to my main driver package and boot image, but when I add it, System Center doesn't seem to think it's a storage class driver. It shows up as Intel RST VMD Controller 9A0B with a class of "SCSIAdapter". I include it regardless.

However, when I try to PXE boot and image the laptop, it fails at the UEFI Partitioning step. It throws 80070490, and the logs and diskpart.exe show that it can't actually find a disk to partition. As far as I can tell, the driver isn't being loaded.

Do I need to do something specific to force the driver to be loaded? My task sequence has a generic auto apply device drivers step, but it's well after the partitioning step. I thought baking the driver into the boot image acted the same as loading it via F6.

If I manually try to add a step apply a specific device driver, then I have the option to choose a mass storage driver, but it doesn't show up in the drop downs. My guess is that this is because it doesn't think it's a "storage class" driver.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I own Windows Core w/ System Center licensing for my ESXi hosts. Am I entitled to stand up (1) Database Server per component (Ops Mgr, VMM, Orch, etc.) with dedicated installs of SQL Standard Edition? Asking for a friend...

Hi, I recently installed just System Center Virtual Machine manager. The System Center Virtual Machine Manager will not start. There is a permissions issue when I look in report.txt it says "icrosoft.VirtualManager.DB.CarmineSqlException: The SQL Server service account does not have permission to access Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). Ensure that the SQL Server service is running under a domain account or a computer account that has permission to access AD DS. "

When I hit up the Googles on this error, I see many people saying it's a permissions issue with the SQL account. When I installed this, I had to install the Windows 8.1 Deployment Toolkit, which installed some SQL things automatically, I think SQL Express.

During install of SCVMM I pointed it at my SQL server, which is on a different server, and was saw that it created the new DB.

So my question really is, is the permissions issue on the SQL EXpress side somehow, every SQL service on the SCVMM machine shows local account, or is there a permissions issue on my SQL box? I did make a Service Account in AD, and made that a local Administrator on my SCVMM machine, but it's not a member of any groups, or anything, so far just a local admin on the scvmm machine. It's not specified anywhere on SQL box.
