SCCM Console on Server 2012 R2 cannot initialize mmc

Installing SCCM 2007 SP2 on Server 2012 R2 Terminal Server

Since we are installing the console on the Terminal Server we need to Change user mode

Change user /install
Run Splash.hta
Choose to Install console
And Next

For SQL reporting Services reports to show on the console , we will need to Install R2 bits on the Terminal Server where Console is added

Also install R3 bits on the server



If you get the error , cannot initialize mmc

You would first need to install .net 3.5/2.0

Also you may need to register these dll using the following commands

C:\windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v2.0.50727\installutil.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Configuration Manager Console\AdminUI\bin\AdminUI.ResourceExplorerConsole.dll" /logfile=C:\inst.log  /showcallstack

C:\windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v2.0.50727\installutil.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Configuration Manager Console\AdminUI\bin\AdminUI.WqlQueryEngine.dll" /logfile=C:\inst.log  /showcallstack

C:\windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v2.0.50727\installutil.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Configuration Manager Console\AdminUI\bin\AdminUI.Console.dll" /logfile=C:\inst.log  /showcallstack


Possibly need to Reinstall the console if you cant connect to SiteDB.

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.'

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.
