Today I installed Audit Collection Services (ACS) in my demo environment and after installing the ACS Collector and ACS Forwarder I wanted to start the AdtAdmin.exe tool. But where is AdtAdmin.exe installed?

And how do I run it next time from any location I’m in my (PowerShell) Command prompt?

AdtAdmin.exe is installed in: C:\Windows\System32\Security\AdtServer folder.

Now I knew the path I just added the path the path environment variable using Powershell.

$env:path = $env:path + ";C:\Windows\System32\Security\AdtServer"

Result:

Have fun Auditing your security events!

But would not it be cool to have a PowerShell wrapper around AdtAdmin.exe? Anybody?

Today I needed to check the SPN’s for my OM2012 environment and (again) I used some other blogs to confirm my SPN settings. Some of the blogs I always check are the following:

References:

• Operations Manager 2007 SPN's

• OpsMgr 2012: What should the SPN’s look like?

• What is a Service Principal Name (SPN) mapping?
• What SPN do I use and how does it get there?
• What is a SPN and why should you care?

• How to name a SPN

• How to name a SPN (part 2)

• SCOM 2007 R2 what should my SPN registrations look like?
• System Center Operations Manager SDK service failed to register an SPN

• PSA: You really need to update your Kerberos setup documentation with SetSPN -S!

This should really help you configure and check your configured SPN settings. But I also created a visual representation how you could check your own SPNs.

Hope this all helps configuring:
