I lost my primary site in my hierarchy, what I do now?

Santos Martinez — Fri, 17 May 2013 02:47:13 GMT

I few weeks ago this happened to one of you, I know the frustration that this may have caused when you initially saw it. Either the server files where corrupted or the vhd was lost on a power lost, what happened now you are on a panic state. You need to recover one of your primary site in your hierarchy, don’t worry we got you covered.

As is detailed on the following tech net article:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712697.aspx#BKMK_DetermineRecoveryOptions

It’s very important to determine your recovery options, with this came several questions.

Are you going to recover from a backup?

If you answer was no, then here is your solution.

You can recover it from the CAS, yes the CAS host a copy of your data and its possible to send recreate your database based on the information the CAS have.

On this video I explain the process that you will need to do in order to recover your primary site.

But before I share the video let me give you a small background of what I did on my site server, after knowing there was no more option than this one. I created another virtual machine with the same Operating System, IP Address, ComputerName and disk configuration.

Installed all the pre-requirements that my primary site server need in order to install System Center 2012 Configuration Manager.

Installed SQL Server 2012 with Service Pack 1, and validate that all my pre requirements were installed.

Now let me show you how this looks like.

Check the video on Channel 9.

Hope you enjoy the video, its around 25 minutes since I go into a little more details of troubleshooting, SQL Configuration and log files.

CU1 for SysCtr 2012 ConfigMgr SP1–Installation and More.

Santos Martinez — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 09:47:00 GMT

Hello there, if you missed my tweet post on Friday about the new Cumulative Update 1 for System Center 2012 Configuration Manager Sp1, here is a quick link and recap on it. After the hotfix information, I capture some of the screenshots of this fix on my lab.

You can download the CU1 for System Center 2012 Configuration Manager Sp1 from here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2817245/en-us?sd=rss&spid=1060:Description

Some of the issues that are fixed on this release:

Administrator Console

· A Discovery Data Record (DDR) that contains organizational unit (OU) paths that are longer than 220 characters are not processed. The DDM.log file on the site server contains event messages that resemble the following:

CDiscoverySource::ValidateSchema - array property User OU Name cannot expand size so rejecting.

CDiscoverDataManager::ProcessDDRs - Unable to update data source

· The Allow clients to use a fallback source location for content option is missing from the Distribution Points tab of the package properties.

Site systems

· Replication Configuration Manager incorrectly reports the link status as Degraded and then reports the status as Active one minute later.

· Site replication fails after a site database is restored to a new server. Additionally, the Rcmctrl.log file contains the following error message:

ERROR: Received unhandled SQL exception, printing info and throwing it again. This will be retried in next cycle.
SqlException number: [8115]
ERROR: Exception message: [Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type int.~~The 'spGetChangeTrackingMinValidVersion' procedure attempted to return a status of NULL, which is not allowed. A status of 0 will be returned instead.]

Device management

· The Configuration Manager client cannot be installed on devices that contain newer ARM processors. Additionally, the following error message is logged in the DmClientSetup log file:

Fail to get the CAB file name because of unsupported processor type: 0

Software updates

· The Allow clients to share content with other clients on the same subnet option in the properties of a Software Update Group Deployment is ignored. Additionally, the DataTransferService.log file contains the following message:

Not using branch cache option.

· When a custom port is configured for software updates, an Internet only client may append the custom port to the URL for the Windows Update service. Additionally, when the custom port is set to 880, log entries that resemble the following may be logged in the DataTransferService.log file:

UpdateURLWithTransportSettings(): OLD URL - http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update.cab

UpdateURLWithTransportSettings(): NEW URL - http://download.windowsupdate.com:880/msdownload/update.cab

· The Schedule Updates Wizard does not list content for Windows Server 2012. For more information about this issue, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

2793237

FIX: The Schedule Updates Wizard does not list content for Windows Server 2012 in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager Service Pack 1

Client

· The MicrosoftPolicyPlatformSetup.msi file is now correctly signed.

· The selection of multiple targeted applications in Software Center will fail if the calendar region is set to Arabic (Saudi Arabia). Additionally, Software Center displays the following error message:

Software Center cannot be loaded. There is a problem loading the required components for Software Center. You can try launching Software Center at a later time. If the problem continues, you can contact your helpdesk.

· The hardware inventory on a computer that is running a 32-bit version of Windows Server 2003 R2 may cause the Wmiprvse.exe process to exit unexpectedly. Additionally, when you view the results of the fault, the details of the fault resemble the following:

Faulting application wmiprvse.exe, version 5.2.3790.4455, faulting module msvcr90.dll, version 9.0.30729.6161, fault address 0x00056b1d

· PXE support is added for IA-32 EFI computers.

You can read more on the link about this new hotfix, now I will be installing this on my lab to test it out. Always test in Q/A before releasing this type of fixes to production.

Installation steps:

Download the file from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2817245/en-us?sd=rss&spid=1060:Description

Then extract the 461035_enu_x64_zip into a temp folder:

Then click on ConfigMgr2012-SP1-CU1-KB2817245-X64-ENU.exe

Going through the wizard is self-explanatory, I won’t write details under each screenshot unless I feel is important to highlight something on them.

Validate that you have perform a ConfigMgr Backup or SQL Backup before executing this part of the CU.

If you don’t want to perform the database update as part of these process, you can read how to manually update the database by executing update.sql.

The update took about 15 minutes for my CAS, I will not perform the same on each of my primary sites.

There are also several PowerShell updates on this new hotfix, if you want to take a look at them for a full list of details on this update again check http://support.microsoft.com/KB/2817245.

Are you interested on more PowerShell?

Nostalgia: March 22, 1984 Microsoft Press introduces its first two books

Santos Martinez — Sat, 23 Mar 2013 01:17:59 GMT

I got this in my inbox today, tough it was worth sharing. I know its hard to take the first step in writing a book, its also hard to be the first one in being published by a company. I can’t imagine what this authors tough when MS Press accept their book proposal and make them a huge success. As author I was very proud to write my first book with a lot of smart people, today I’m working on my second book and I’m happy that is with Microsoft Press.

Happy Reading,

SQL Server for ConfigMgr 2012, eBook and Top 10 Database Issues.

Santos Martinez — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 19:30:00 GMT

This past week I have the opportunity to speak to my peers about this topic, while speaking of it I tough my self that I will share some of these key values with my blog readers. I know how important this content can be for them, so lets sharp some extra ninja skills today and write about it. I documented the process of creating a Windows Server 2012 Fail Over Cluster and SQL Server 2012 to support my System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, a little over the counter for a blog so what I did was put all the information on a small eBook.

SQL for ConfigMgr 2012 Ebook:

http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/SQL-for-ConfigMgr-People-9aa87662

Here are my top 10 Database Issues, this are issues that I consider should be address on every ConfigMgr Database to ensure they are configured correctly.

Top 10 ConfigMgr Database issues:

This list are issue that where identified while performing a RaaS for Configuration Manager, if you want to check your current system, schedule a RaaS for CM Today. Contact me if you have any questions about it.

1. SQL Server instance has only one tempdb data file while there are more than one scheduler in use

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc966534.aspx

2. Trace flags are being used.

Microsoft recommends that they be reviewed to determine whether the reason for their use is still valid. Some trace flags can have a significant effect on server performance, and often at unexpected times such as in the case of trace flags being used to capture dump files.
Trace flags can be enabled through the use of the DBCC TRACEON statement or through the use of the -T startup parameter. If the flag was enabled using the DBCC TRACEON statement, it can be turned off by using the DBCC TRACEOFF statement.

If the flag was enabled using the DBCC TRACEON statement, the command must be run again after every restart of the SQL Server service to re-enable the flag. If the flag was enabled using the -T startup parameter, the flag will automatically be re-enabled every time the server is restarted, providing that the -T parameter has not been removed.

Typically, trace flags should only be enabled in special circumstances or if you have been instructed to do so by Microsoft Service Engineers.

3. max degree of parallelism

The Microsoft SQL Server max degree of parallelism (MAXDOP) configuration option controls the number of processors that are used for the execution of a query in a parallel plan. This option determines the computing and thread resources that are used for the query plan operators that perform the work in parallel. Depending on whether SQL Server is set up on a symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) computer, a non-uniform memory access (NUMA) computer, or hyperthreading-enabled processors, you have to configure the max degree of parallelism option appropriately. This article discusses the general guidelines that you can use to configure the max degree of parallelism option for SQL Server when you use the sp_configure system stored procedure

General guidelines to use to configure the MAXDOP option

4. SQL Server maximum memory allocation is unlimited

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms180797.aspx

5. User Databases found that have collations different from master database

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175835.aspx

6. User database is set to compatibility level lower than the default installation level.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191137.aspx

7. DBCC CHECKDB has not been run within seven days.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms176064.aspx

8. Databases are identified with auto grow set to percentage growth.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315512

9. The Restart Period and/ or Restart Action settings for a resource is not the default setting. (Cluster Setting for Fail Over)

To change the Restart Period setting to the default value of 900000, follow these steps:

· Open Cluster Administrator.
· Right-click the resource.
· Select Properties.
· Click the Advanced tab.
· Set the Period option to 900 seconds.
· Click OK.

10. Database Indexes and Statics

Databases identified with one or more tables, with indexes that may require update statistics and Rebuild Indexes Site Maintenance task not set ConfigMgr and Maintenance Task Configuration.

Conclusion:

This are my selection of Top 10 Database issues we as ConfigMgr Administrations need to ensure wont happened, if any of this are happening to you I recommend talking to your TAM about them and schedule a RaaS for CM to confirm them. Read the information I have provided you here and you should be able to address them, if you don’t understand how to fix them also talk to your Database Administrator.

Hope you enjoy some of this details and have fun,

Install SysCtr 2012 ConfigMgr in Windows Server 2012 and SQL Server 2012 My Notes

Santos Martinez — Fri, 25 Jan 2013 05:16:00 GMT

Installing System Center 2012 Configuration Manager in Windows Server 2012 and SQL Server 2012 My Notes

This week I took the task to build a System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SP1 in Windows Server 2012 and SQL Server 2012, I will outline some of the steps I take to build my server and what are the end results.

To start I start building my virtual machine on Hyper-V, this virtual machine has 8GB of RAM, 4 Virtual Processors assigned to it and 127GB of Space on the Operating System, C: Drive and 100 to the E: Drive.

if you are looking for details on how to install Windows Server 2012 look at the following resources:

Once you have installed Windows Server 2012, you need to prepare it for System Center 2012 Configuration Manager.

Prerequisites for Site System Roles on Windows Server 2012

One thing you can do when you build a server in Windows Server 2021 is that you can export the setting on the server manager, I have saved mine and will be available for you to download on the TechNet gallery.ConfigFilesSamples.zip

Now that I has configure the server, I will install SQL Server 2012 with CU3.

Download the SQL Server 2012 from your Volume License Site.

Download SQL Server 2012 CU2 from Support.

Download SQL Server 2012 CU3 from Support.

I suggest that you create or add drives to the server to support your SQL Configuration and ConfigMgr, to do this we are going to create one drive for SQL Server, one drive for SQL Logs and one drive for ConfigMgr. Example: D:\ SQL Data, L:\ Logs, E:\ ConfigMgr.

When you install SQL Server, make sure to select the necessary configuration.

I uncheck the Include SQL Server Product updates, since the supported configurations don’t mention SP 1 for ConfigMgr 2012 SP1 only CU 2 that’s why I uncheck this section.

Note** if you have Firewall Enable make sure to Exclude 1433 and 4022.

For ConfigMgr I suggest select All Features with Defaults, click next after that.

Make sure you use the following Collation:

If there is another Collation selected, change it to this ones. ConfigMgr can only select the following Collation and may need to re-install it if the wrong collation is selected.

When you go to the section of Database Engine Configuration, Select Data Directories and enter the information of the drives where you going to store the data and logs.

Once you finish the SQL install and Configuration its time to apply the CU2 for SQL Server.

Configure SQL Server to ensure has the settings that ConfigMgr Needs, to do this we have to configure the max memory and min memory requirements.

Before install System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SP1, I suggest reading the newest published KBs to install before SP1.

http://blogs.technet.com/b/configurationmgr/archive/2013/01/16/list-of-system-center-2012-configuration-manager-service-pack-1-kbs.aspx

One of the articles, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2801987 outlines a hotfix for Windows Server 2012. I suggest installing this hotfix to make sure you don’t ran into this issue, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2756872 or http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=34943.

If you already have System Center 2012 Configuration Manager I suggest you read the process of upgrading to SP1. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2801416.

Now that you have install all the hotfixes needed for your Windows Server 2012, its time to download and install Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) for Windows 8.

The process of installing the Windows Assessment may take some time, I suggest to also run a Windows Update on the server to install any missing hotfix.

To validate all the components that System Center 2012 Configuration Manager has been installed, we are going to download the redistributables files or updates for ConfigMgr, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712320.aspx#BKMK_SetupDownloader. After that is complete we are going to run the ConfigMgr 2012 Pre Requisite Checker. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712320.aspx#BKMK_PrerequisiteChecker.

On the initial Check, it shows I must extend the schema of active directory if I haven’t done this for 2007, or 2012. Prepare the Windows Environment for Configuration Manager. For the System Management OU I suggest taking a look at the following PowerShell script, http://blogs.technet.com/b/mniehaus/archive/2012/01/05/creating-the-configmgr-system-management-container-with-powershell.aspx.

The other section I must install is WSUS SDK, by installing the administrative console for WSUS you should be able to continue the installation. A WSUS server will be needed for ConfigMgr 2012 so it can be able to use the Software Update Component.

Evaluate every failure that pre requisite checker tell you and validate all components has been installed, finally you will be able to validate that all components where installed correctly.

Finally all checks are passed and we are ready to install.

The installation process may take a few minutes after this is about monitoring the installation and ensure no errors occurs.

Note** This Installation may take some time.

Example of a Completed Install.

Once I finish the installation of my site I proceed to configure the basic information for it, to do this I will open the Configuration Manager Console. http://technet.microsoft.com/library/gg712682.aspx.

If you are looking to build your lab for testing ConfigMgr 2012, I suggest looking at the following Hydration Kit. http://www.deploymentresearch.com/Research/tabid/62/EntryId/82/The-Hydration-Kit-for-ConfigMgr-2012-SP1-with-Windows-Server-2012-SQL-Server-2012-is-available-for-download.aspx

Thanks to Johan Arwidmark, for his hard work on the hydration kit. I personally test it and works great on my lab.

Do you have a lab of Windows Server 2012 for System Center 2012 Configuration Manager? or you already build this on Production?
