[OpsMgr 2012] Recommended Agent OS Fixes and Updates

This article discusses fixes and updates recommended for Microsoft System Center 2012 Operations Manager (OpsMgr) Agent computers.



1. Make sure that your agents, management servers, and gateways are running the latest Update Rollup (UR). At the time this article was written, the latest UR is UR2 for System Center 2012 Service Pack 1 (SP1) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2802159

2. For System Center 2012 without SP1 the latest UR is UR3 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2756127

3. All agents, management servers, and gateways should be running the latest version of the JET EDB hotfix for Windows.

For Windows 2008 R2 and for Windows 7: The latest version of the JET EDB hotfix for Windows is included in Service Pack 1 (SP) for these operating systems.

For Windows 2008 and for Windows Vista:Install the hotfix rollup that is mentioned in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

KB2553708 - A hotfix rollup that improves Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 compatibility with Advanced Format disks (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2553708)

For Windows Server 2003: 
Install the hotfix that is mentioned in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

KB981263 - Management servers or assigned agents unexpectedly appear as unavailable in the Operations Manager console in Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/981263)

4. There is an Avg. Disk Sec/Transfer issue that returns a very large value that is incorrect. For more information, see the following articles, as appropriate for your operating system:

For Windows 2008 R2 or for Windows 7:

KB2470949 - The RegQueryValueEx function returns a very large incorrect value for the "Avg. Disk sec/Transfer" performance counter in Windows Server 2008 R2 or in Windows 7 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2470949)

For Windows Server 2008 or for Windows Vista:

KB2495300 - Invalid "Avg. Disk sec/Transfer" value returned by the RegQueryValueEx function in Windows Server 2008 or in Windows Vista(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2495300)

5. You do not receive event notifications after you back up and then clear event logs in Windows Server 2008 or in Windows Vista. Therefore, OpsMgr is prevented from providing a warning for events after the event logs are cleared.

For Windows 2008 or for Windows Vista:

KB2458331 - You cannot receive event notifications after you back up and then clear event logs in Windows Server 2008 or in Windows Vista (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2458331

Note
 This issue does not occur in Windows Server 2008 R2 or in Windows 7.

6. The "Win32_Service" WMI class leaks memory in Windows Server 2008 R2 and in Windows 7:

KB981314 - The "Win32_Service" WMI class leaks memory in Windows Server 2008 R2 and in Windows 7 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/981314)

Note
 This issue is resolved in Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and in Windows 7 SP1.

7. A hotfix is available that improves the stability of the Windows Management Instrumentation repository in Windows Server 2003:

8. WSH binaries are overwritten by Windows File Protection after you install Windows Script 5.7 on a computer that is running Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP:

KB955360 - WSH binaries are overwritten by Windows File Protection after you install Windows Script 5.7 on a computer that is running Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/955360)

For Operations Manager, this may be the cause of high CPU utilization.

9. A managed application has a high number of thread handles and event handles in the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0:

KB968760 - A managed application has a high number of thread handles and of event handles in the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968760) 

For Operations Manager this causes a high number of handles.

10. The CPU usage of an application or a service that uses MSXML 6.0 to handle XML requests reaches 100% in Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows XP Service Pack 3, or other systems that have MSXML 6.0 installed:

KB980142 - FIX: "Provider Load Failure" error message or the Wmiprvse.exe process stops responding when you use a SQL Server WMI provider to obtain information about SQL Server 2012, SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2008, or SQL Server 2008 R2 services (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/980142) 

13. Extended Protection for Authentication: This feature enhances the protection and handling of credentials when authenticating network connections by using Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA).

[Orchestrator 2012] Monitor for New Knowledge Base Article

Have you ever wanted being notified about new Operations Manager KB article? Your answer will be yes I already have RSS-Reader and stuff like that. But is that cool? Is that the geeky way to do things? Hmm…no. Because Stefan Roth wanted to fool around with Orchestrator and SCOM so he built a Runbook which sends me an alert if there is a new KB article Smiley. Read his article on http://blog.scomfaq.ch/2012/05/14/scom-2012-orchestrator-monitor-for-new-knowledge-base-article/
