Faced an issue when we created the Service Level Dashboard in SCOM 2012 As SLD can be created in the SCOM console in 2012 version of it , i went ahead and created a Distributed Application , then associated Service level monitoring with it. Finally i went ahead and created the SLD from SCOM Console. However once the dashboard was created it did not show any data. The Image is shown here: As i was checking online i found a thread on technet forum: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/operationsmanagergeneral/thread/def9592c-0de6-47e5-9312-5a5fbbc8df34 Accordingly i checked the Data Warehouse Synchronization Server Discovered Inventory in our case.

In Our case we wanted to monitor something like SELECT statusno from XXX table  If statusno > 0 alert = OK Else Alert = fail End if So it was like If the Output is anything but 0 we wanted an alert. I referenced these 2 articles to create our Script based Monitor http://systemcenter.no/?p=190 http://www.systemcentercentral.com/downloads/downloadsdetails/tabid/144/indexid/7362/default.aspx I faced some issues where in the script gave errors and did not execute correctly.

Today we had a request to publish SCCM 2007 Console through Citrix I installed the SCCM Console on a couple of XenApp 6.5 servers While Publishing the Console i faced an issue of the ICON file not getting applied while i choose the msc file Below Images Shows the error: "Failed to Read Icon File from" While Searching for dlls in the install directory for the SCCM Console, i found a dll for smssnapinresources.dll i guessed it might have the Icon embedded somewhere in it :) And it did have it. So i choose the icon And it finally worked while publishing the application. Hope this Helps
