SCOM AD topology Monitor Views show Not Monitored

We implemented SCOM 2012 SP1 , We imported the latest Managemnet pack for monitoring Active Directory

Somehow the topology views in AD management pack always remained not monitored.


Here is what i checked :

The agents on DC's was installed from within SCOM console after discovery

We used a domain Administrator to install the agent and then the local system account as action account

the DC's started alerting and we couldn't find any errors in the event logs , however the topology views all remained not Monitored.

AD helper Object was installed on all the domain controllers as the agents were pushed from SCOM Console.

I ran hslockdown /L on the Domain controllers

Local System Account (our default Action account) was not denied permission.

Still i tried running

Hslockdown "ManagemnetGroupName" /A "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM"

But the topology views did not update.


-Verified Agent proxy was enabled on all DC's and MS
-All the agents are within the same forest
-Verified the AD topology discovery. It was set to disabled.  Removed the override and enabled it for Discover Agents Only


Still nothing populated in the Topology Views.


Reviewed ETL Logs from the Domain controllers and RMS Emulator

- Open a command prompt on the agent and navigate to ‘\Program Files\System Center Operations manager 2007\Tools’ directory.
- Run the command StopTracing.cmd
- Browse through %Windir%\ temp\OpsMgrTrace directory, take backup of all files insight the folder and delete the contents.
- In ‘\Program Files\System Center Operations manager 2007\Tools’ command prompt type “starttracing.cmd VER (The word VER must be in caps)
- Restart the “System Center Management service. Once done wait for 10 Minutes. (Don’t keep this running for more than 10 minutes.)
- Stop the tracing using the command stoptracing.cmd
- Format the ETL files using command formattracing.cmd  --- This takes a long while , have Patience
- The default location of these files is C:\WINDOWS\Logs\OpsMgrTrace.




Found that the discovery script runs on the RMS Emulator as:

"C:\Windows\System32\cscript.exe" //nologo "E:\Program Files\System Center 2012\Operations Manager\Server\Health Service State\Monitoring Host Temporary Files 927\6181\ADTopologyDiscovery.vbs" 0 {588C5951-C337-0B15-9554-C80FC248AB3A} {BB59AB18-76F2-C1CA-DB89-9F31C64863A7} RMSEmulator.domain.com true "C:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager 2007" 7.0.9538.0 "C:\Windows\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe" "ManagementGroupName" false



Noticed the path being "C:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager 2007"  however in our case we installed SCOM 2012 SP1 on E:

We set the following override  for OpsMgrInstallPath

"E:\Program Files\System Center 2012\Operations Manager\Server"

instead of "C:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager 2007"



We then restarted the HealthService on management Server and waited,waited, waited , waited , waited
maybe a day or two

It shows monitored now






Hope this helps.

Group Policy Object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070534 No mapping between account names and security IDs was done

One of our servers was losing the Local Admin settings as we control them using GPO (restricted Groups) We were receiving the following event on this particular server : Event ID 4098 Application Event Log The computer 'Administrators (built-in)' preference item in the 'Servers Local Admins {odjd9DBD-22AF-48EA-ADF5-F42ADE4182hst}' Group Policy Object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070534 No mapping between account names and security IDs was done.' This error was suppressed. To fix the issue we deleted all the folders from the following location and rebooted the server C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Group Policy\History Hope this helps.

iDRAC 7 Shows no Signal in Virtual Console Preview

Recently i logged on to iDRAC for one of our Dell R720 servers,however somehow the console redirection did not work at all. I kept on seeing No Signal on the Virtual console Preview. I tried Rebooting the server but that did not help. Finally i clicked on Reset iDRAC and this did the trick. It may take around 2 -5 minutes before you can access iDRAC page again. I had to power on the server through iDRAC before anything showed up on console. Hope this Helps.

Close Open Files in Isilon

To close Open files in Isilon Sometimes we may have to Close open files on Isilon , This is how we can accomplish it First find all the Open Files using the Following Command: isi_for_array  "isi smb openfiles list" To Narrow the search  we can grep the result  as an example isi_for_array  "isi smb openfiles list" | grep -i abc Once you find the files the 6 digit number is the id for that open file. To close the open file run the following command isi_for_array isi smb openfiles close "123456" -f Hope this helps
