smcli (ip number controller) –p (password) –c “revive physicalDisk [(enclosure),(disk)]”;

example

smcli 10.0.0.1 –p contoso –c “revive physicalDisk [0,6]”;

We will use the “ sudo “ command

The next steps you have to make are:

sudo bash
sudo su
sudo passwd root

Now your root account is enabled and your ready to go.

We are going to modify a file. So use putty or winscp to connect to your xbmc center.

After login, using your root credentials. Navigate to /etc/network and there you find the interfaces file.

If you would like to have a copy of the original file. Feel free to make one.

After that copy the settings below and paste it into your interfaces file.

Of cause you need to modify the ip addresses.

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.4
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1

Save the file.

Reboot your system “shutdown –r now”

The problem is caused by the more secure Windows7 and Windows2008R2.

“ Okay, after trying random things I have come to learn that if I use \\server.address\DavWWWRoot\ I can connect to the server via WebDAV, as it turns out windows sees "DavWWWRoot" as some sort of token which tells the computer to use the DAV protocol rather than just plain HTTP. This is well and good if I wanted a system only over port 80 however I still want the random ssl encrypted port. From what I can understand \\server.address@SSL\DavWWWRoot should give me HTTPS access to the webdav server. this however doesn’t work, I am still presented with the same two Windows Security Credentials pop up boxes. and now when I just try to press ok through them a pop up window shows up saying "The Folder you entered does not appear to be valid. Please choose another." Which I know is untrue because I can navigate to the page in internet explorer via https://server.address/ and it resolves, I can also still connect to this via other Dav Services. Now that I know my DAV server does work with window 7 I would really like to to work under the specified conditions. “

The first step:

Windows 7 is more secure than older version of windows, some things are just going to take some adjusting to.
Try to change the Kerberos encryption type.

1. Open gpedit.msc.
2. Find the policy under Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options ->Network Security: Configure encryption types allowed for Kerberos

3. Configure the policy. If it is not configured, actually both DES cipher suites are disabled. I suggest that you enable all the suits.

The second step:

To Disable the Update Root Certificates Component by Using Group Policy

See Appendix B, "Learning About Group Policy and Updating Administrative Templates,” for information about using Group Policy. Ensure that your Administrative templates have been updated, and then edit an appropriate GPO.

Click Computer Configuration, click Administrative Templates, click System, click Internet Communication Management, and then click Internet Communication settings.

In the details pane, double-click Turn off Automatic Root Certificates Update, and then click Enabled.

Important You can also restrict Internet access for this and a number of other components by applying the Restrict Internet communication policy setting, which is located in Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/Internet Communication Management. For more information about this Group Policy and the policies that it controls, see Appendix C, "Group Policy Settings Listed Under the Internet Communication Management Key.

For the official link take a look at WebDAV Web Folders in Windows Explorer, Windows 7

DVD of bootable USB device including Windows 8.

Disk space:

At least 200 GB free space.(If you do install both versions)

Well hands on

Boot from DVD or USB Device
	Before you proceed to “Install now”. Press SHIFT+F10. a WinPe command prompt will popup. Type: Diskpart
command list disk	Shows all disks
command select disk 0	Select disk (ex. disk 0)
command list vol	Shows all partitions
command create vdisk file=d:\a_name.vhd maximum=100000 type=expandable	this command create a virtual disk 100 GB.
command select vdisk file=d:\a_name.vhd	Select vdisk
command attach vdisk	mount disk
	Close the prompt exit
	Continue the installation. We will discover the “new” vdisk. If not go back some steps. There will be a warning, but the next button is unlocked so proceed using next.
	If the installation is ready it will will reboot. Do not change anything at the first screen at this moment. Just sit back and relax. After the restart installation will go on. Final at the next restart you may change your default OS.
Before playing around, if you have approx 8 GB disks space left, you may copy your vhd file as a backup!

Base system (single box):

OS W2k8R2, SQlserver2008R2, windows update incl the latest updates.

Pre Requirements for OpsMgr2012:

Framework 4; IIS enable within features cgi allow framework 4.

SQL Collation:  SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS

During configuration, keep the reporting service running on port 80. It would be nice to have this fixed so you can configure another port, but for now its oke.

Accounts:

I have made a couple “default” service accounts:

sa_opssql.

sa_opsMSAA.

sa_opsDRA.

sa_opsDWA.

and have them applied during installation of opsmgr2012.

The setup result is as you can see complete without any error.

In August you can expect an email from msftconn@microsoft.com at this email account.

The program will be run on a Microsoft Connect portal which will provide access to evaluation resources, downloads, meeting invitations and discussions – all designed to provide a guided evaluation as well as create opportunities to connect with others in the community. 

We look forward to connecting with you throughout the program.

Best regards,

The Operations Manager CEP Team.

When will it be RTM, at the end of Q4?

First thing to check out will be the avicode integration.

That’s it.

Suddenly the gateway server shows not monitored! What is going on, it seems that the local Health Service State cache is damaged.

How to fix this??

Stop the Health Service.

Delete the Health State folder under “C:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager 2007\Health Service State”

and restart the Health Service.

Be shure that at the final stage of the image a sysprep or newsid is applied.

net stop "Windows Update"
del /f /s /q %windir%\SoftwareDistribution\*.*
REG DELETE "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update" /v NextDetectionTime /f
REG DELETE "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate" /v SusClientId /f
REG DELETE "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate" /v SusClientIdValidation /f
net start "Windows Update"
wuauclt.exe /resetauthorization /detectnow

This is it.
