The guy that built and setup this system left rather abruptly and I've taken over.
My current issues are
I have several change requests that are stuck at New. They do not move to Pending or In Progress.
The system is not sending emails when incidents are getting assigned to people. This used to work on this system.
I have done a lot of searching and the usual solution to this of stopping and restarting the system center services does not help. Can anyone give me any ideas of where else to look?
Update:
From all the searching I have done it seemed like I was at the point of re-installing. My initial installation of SCSM 2012 was on a machine that was upgraded from SCSM 2010 and also hosted SCCM 2007 and WSUS. We decided to give it a fresh start on a new server by installing a second instance of the SCSM server on a brand new 2008 R2 server then promoting the new server to the workflow master using the procedures outlined in this article - Dealing with Multiple management Servers.
I've gotten to the point where we have both the old and the new server up and the new server has been promoted. I had hopped to get spammed by emails all the sudden due to the workflow taking off, but no such luck. Once all the clients are reconfigured to point to the new server we still plan to decommission the old server but at this point it seems to be that the problem is in the database.
Short of any other input from the community, my next plan is to install a 180 day trial on a test server, complete with a separate database so that I can do a side by side comparison between a completely fresh install and what I have now and see if I can find any differences.
While that install is running I also plan on investigating the event logs to see if there is anything in there that can shed some light on what is happening on the new server.
Update 2:
So I've now got a test SCSM server up with a completely fresh install including Database and it seems to be able to transition Change Requests from New to In Progress. I'm attempting to find differences between the two. Stay Tuned!
Update 3:
In looking through the event log on the new SCSM machine i discovered:
Log Name: Operations Manager
Source: OpsMgr Root Connector
Date: 10/9/2013 3:48:18 PM
Event ID: 28000
Task Category: None
Level: Warning
Keywords: Classic
User: N/A
Computer: scsm02
Description:
The Root connector received an exception from the SDK Service while submitting task status:
Cannot set availability on a health service that doesn't exist.
This lead me to Event ID 2800 logged after installing secondary server for System Center 2012 Service Manager SP1. I contacted MS to obtain the hotfix, BIG warning here, turns out the hotfix is not so "hot". In order to apply this hotfix, you have to uninstall then reinstall using the files they supply. :( This is where I am at now ...
Update 4:
Not much luck after the re-install. The errors in the event log have gone away on the new server but the workflows still aren't running and neither the event log nor the workflow status screen seem to indicate why. I've done a comparison of the Activity and the Change Request Event Workflows and I've removed everything from the production system that is not in my fresh test system (which is everything), shut down the services, cleared out the cache folders and restarted the services and still no joy.
At the moment the only thing I can think to do is either a)nuke the entire system including the database and start over, losing all of our data in the process or b)contact MS (which is probably going to cost us a butt load of money and time in the end to only advise us to do the same thing. Maybe more idea's will come after coffee ...
No answers came after coffee. Attempting to contact MS. Managed to get to their first line of defense, gave them our SA number and someone is supposed to call me back. I am trying to log into my incident on their site to update my ticket with the link to this thread but when i click on the link in the email they sent me it goes to a "Sorry, the page you requested is not available" page ... Linux is looking better and better all the time.
I know how to mark a group of fields as primary key in ADO.NET entities but i haven't found a way to declare unique constraints or check constraints.
Is this feature missing on the designer or on the framework?
Thanx.
I want to develop a module to implement such a feature:
when exchange receive emails in the mailbox : [email protected]
the module will be triggered and modify the email's TO Address to /test/@smb.local and save back to mailbox [email protected].
Thanks in advance!
we've been running our web servers at Amazon with load balancer and auto-scaling for over a year with no problem. All of a sudden today the request began to get aborted with the error:
503 ... Backend server is at capacity
The web servers are at 1% CPU and no other alarms trigger.
We use Amazons load balancer and nginx.
Lots of requests like this are showing up in the access_log.

I recently played with MongoDB in Rails using Mongoid. I like the ability to define attributes for models within the model file (as opposed to in migrations):
class Person
include Mongoid::Document
field :name, :type => String
field :birthday, :type => Date
end
For projects that cannot use a schema-less database, does a similar feature exist? Any gems or plugins that generate schemas from a similar syntax would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Hi there,
Recently I installed in Visual Studio 2010 the Power Tools Extension It's working great, however I have problems with my text coloring theme (Nightfall), and the extension's Colorized Parameter feature.
Since the theme text fore color is grey, when the Power Tools Extensions shows the Parameter Help tooltip using my text colors, it gets unreadable:
Is there a way to change Parameter Help background color?
Hi,
I am writing a chrome plugin in which I would like to receive events such as "load", "unload" of window and page. However, I'm not getting any concrete clue to start with.
Can anyone tell me how to capture DOM event in plugin?
Does Chrome support this feature?
Thank you.
Currently I try to simulate my app as distributed servers, so I let them run on localhost:9000 and localhost:9001, i tried using apache load balancer but it is really hard to config on mac, my idea is the second server localhost:9001 will be kept ideal and the requests only be redirected to them when the first server is downed. Is there any good free program can do that ? (except Apache httpd).
Extra functions: my application is written in java and maintain an in-memory object, is there any service that can synchronize that object between 2 servers so they can keep uptodate status of other (the second one takes state of the first one)? Is there any app can support that?
Thank you very much.
Is it possible to declare variable in node and than propage it way down to the erb template?
Example:
node basenode {
$myvar = "bar" # default
include myclass
}
node mynode extends basenode {
$myvar = "foo"
}
class myclass {
file { "/root/myfile":
content => template("myclass/mytemplate.erb")
ensure => present,
}
}
Source of mytemplate.erb:
myvar has value: <%= myvar %>
I know that my example might be complicated. But I'm trying to propagate file on (almost) all my nodes and I want its content to be altered depending on the node which requests the file. The $myvar = "bar" statement should be default when node does not override its value.
Is there a solution to my problem? I'm using puppet 0.24.5
I transfered the configs of a dhcp server from one server to another both running Windows Server 2003 R2 following http [://] support.microsoft.com/kb/325473. The new server has a statically configured ip(outside the scope) like the old one. Stopped the server on the old, and started up in the new server (authorized too) - but when I ipconfig /renew from a client its network interface fails with all 0.0.0.0 (or 169...*). I read somewhere I need to reconcile the scope to sync the new registry values ('ll try this tomorrow). What other troubleshooting steps can I take other than these (which didn't help)?
Things work fine when the old server resurrects and the new one is taken down. The new server showed there was no requests for offer.
I have a remote VPS that I would like to setup samba on and only allow my IP access to it. I currently have in my smb.conf:
[global]
netbios name = apollo
security = user
encrypt passwords = true
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
printing = bsd
log level = 3
log file = /var/log/samba/log/%m
debug timestamp = yes
max log size = 100
[hosting]
path = /hosting/
comment = Hosting Folder
browseable = yes
read only = yes
guest account = yes
valid users = nick
I have the ports (137,138,139,445) open in iptables (they're open to everyone right now while I debug) and I see nothing in the syslog about iptables blocking my requests.
When I try to open a file browser to my address \\ipaddress, it hangs for a good thirty seconds, and then opens a log in box. I enter my user name and password for the server, hit okay. It then opens the same box, I enter my credentials again and hit enter. Windows then tells me it could not connect. My user account is added to Samba already.
Anybody have any suggestions what I can do to get this working?
Hi,
I have Apache Webserver 2.2.17 and tcServer-6.0.20 and I want to dispatch requests from apache to tcserver.
I am using mod_jk.so and I have the following in httpd.conf
LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.so
<IfModule jk_module>
JkWorkersFile /x/y/apache2/conf/workers.properties
JkLogFile /x/y/apache2/logs/mod_jk.log
JkLogLevel info
JkLogStampFormat "[%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y] "
JkMount /xyz/* ww
</IfModule>
My workers.properties file under /x/y/apache2/conf/workers.properties has
worker.list= ww
worker.ww.type=ajp13
worker.ww.port=12000
worker.ww.host=www.abc.com
I'm new to tcServer (and tomcat) and I don't know what changes I have to make in server.xml on tcServer to get this to work with Apache.
Any help would be appreciated.
I am designing a transportation agency/workflow system, and it including 3 types of people, customer who requests to transport some stuff, drivers who deliver the stuff, and truck manager who manages transport source/destination truck coordination and communicates/organizes drivers.
The system is expected to be a web site, and 3 kinds of people could use the web site to submit request, accept request, monitor status of specific stuff transportation, etc. The web site is more like an open agency or a workflow system.
I am wondering whether there are any existing technologies, tools or projects (better to be open source, but not a must) which I could build my application faster based on? I prefer to use .Net technologies, but not a must.
Thanks in advance!
Given what I know of every other type of static feature of programming––I would think the answer is 'no'. However, seeing statements like OuterClass.StaticNestedClass nestedObject = new OuterClass.StaticNestedClass(); makes me wonder.
I'm using WebSphere 6.1 with the EBJ3 Feature Pack installed. Does anyone know what jar I need to include in my project from the AppServer folder of my WebSphere installation in order to be able to use the @WebService annoation? I cannot seem to find it. Thanks.
What is a good method to align images together that may have different rotations, exposures, etc, but have the same background or other fixed reference?
Adobe Photoshop can do this with its "Photomerge" feature.
How can I do this programatically? Is there an Open Source application that does it?
I am using Apache's Proxy Balancer to balance one sub domain (e.g. subdomain.domain.com) to an application which is located on 2 servers. Here an extract from my Apache configuration file:
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
<Proxy balancer://cluster1>
BalancerMember http://server1:28081 route=w1
BalancerMember http://server2:28082 route=w2
</Proxy>
ProxyPass /path balancer://cluster1/path
ProxyPassReverse /path balancer://cluster1/path
My question is, if it's possible to decide with the source IP-address which BalancerMember should be used for the request? To e.g. Requests from 1.2.3.4 to Member 1?
I've been having some issues with my RAID setup recently on my headless Ubuntu 10.04 server which means one of my mount requests is failing on bootup. Clearly I need to fix the RAID issue, but this machine is in my loft and having to crawl up there with a keyboard just so I can hit S a few times is extremely irritating.
The exact message is as follows:
The disk drive for /drv/photos is not ready yet or not present
Continue to wait; or Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery
I'd still like Ubuntu to try and mount it, but is there any way to tell it not to wait for the device?
I have a software that is run under user A, this software creates a socket in /sockets and the socket should be readable and writable by user B.
I have tried setting the directory to have ownership A:A or A:B but when user A creates the socket, it ends up with uid A and gid A.
Using ACLs has not helped so far, the default mask is preventing the rights to be effective. rw permisions for B will always turn into jusr r. If what I make is not a socket it will work fine.
How can I best accomplish this task? (It is for a web-server where the web-application makes the socket and the web-server software forwards requests to it)
I have a VM which has 2GB Ram, (full specs)
And I am setting up a site which has one table in particular with over a million records.
There's little or no usage of this particular database (perhaps once or twice a day) but simply running mysql grinds the whole server to a halt. I've looked through the top results but nothing is really denting the CPU however the memory seems to be the issue.
The site isnt even live of taking requests yet. the memory situation looks like this:
# free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 2006 1880 126 0 3 53
-/+ buffers/cache: 1823 183
Swap: 2047 345 1702
Are there any good pointers to tune mysql to stop hogging the system memory?
Thanks very much
EDIT: (requested by 8bit):
http://tny.cz/b41a0b12
Background:
Have a problem at work where I am constantly being locked out of my computer. We are in an environment that has a Domain Controller and we use Active Directory for authentication.
By going through my normal workflow while on the phone with Desktop Support we were able to track the bad password attempts that were causing the lockouts to an application: "Eclipse". This is the application I use to do software development. I immediately thought it was a cached password for our SVN server that's the culprit, however the desktop support person couldn't tell me which resource the password attempt was being made against (i.e. which URL for instance).
Question:
Is there a way that I can monitor bad authentication requests made by an application on my desktop and find out what resource they are attempting it against?
I have done some hefty Google'ing and I can't seem to find a single solution to this issue that I cam currently experiencing. Here is a sample configuration from squid that I have:
#
# DIGEST Auth
#
auth_param digest program /usr/sbin/digest_file_auth /etc/squid/digpass
auth_param digest children 8
auth_param digest realm LHPROJECTS.LAN Network Proxy
auth_param digest nonce_garbage_interval 10 minutes
auth_param digest nonce_max_duration 45 minutes
auth_param digest nonce_max_count 100
auth_param digest nonce_strictness on
# Squid normally listens to port 3128
# Squid normally listens to port 3128
http_port 192.168.10.2:3128 transparent
https_port 192.168.10.2:3128 intercept
http_port 192.168.10.2:3130
As noted above, I have three ports defined, 2 of them are transparent/intercept and one is a regular http port (which I use for authentication). Which works rather well in this configuration however my logs are getting flooded of this entry authentication not applicable on intercepted requests whenever a transparent connection is made. So far, I can't seem to find any documentation that would describe how to suppress these messages ?
is this OK to on the firewall on windows 2003 Domain & DHCP server?
if yes then which ports should be passed from firewall to use full feature of
Active directory domain controller
file & Printer Sharing
DHCP & Dns
thanks
