Windows Server 2008 NLB MP for OpsMgr released

Don’t know how I missed this when writing the last post, but Microsoft released the MP for Windows Server 2008 NLB yesterday (28/4 -09). This is the initial release for Win2k8 NLB so I guess we just have to try it out then. Quick Details File Name: Microsoft Server 2008 Network Load Balancing System Center Operations Manager 2007 MP.msiVersion: 6.0.6573.0Date Published: 4/28/2009Language: EnglishDownload Size: 519 KB Feature Summary Monitor the NLB Node status. Based on the status of individual cluster nodes, determine the overall state of the cluster. Where an integration management pack exists, determine the health state of a cluster node by looking at the health state of the load balanced application, such as IIS. Alert on errors and warnings that are reported by the NLB driver, such as an incorrectly configured NLB cluster. Take the node out of the NLB cluster if the underlying load-balanced application becomes unhealthy, and add the node back to the cluster when the application becomes healthy again. Requires OpsMgr 2007 SP1 or later, the Base Operating System MP for 2008, the QFEs for Windows Server 2008 and that you are not running the converted 2003 NLB MP. If you are running the old converted NLB MP, upgrade first. As an additional recommendation, Microsoft recommends in the MP Guide that you install the QFE for wmiprvse.exe problems on Windows Server 2008. No support for Mixed-mode (2008 and 2003) clusters though.

The MP Guide does not really say much about what’s updated and I don’t know how much more than the reporting they have fixed. I can just state the fact that support for clustered MSMQ 3 instances is still missing.

NetworkAdapterCheck.vbs fails on Windows 2000

Problem Here’s my summary of the problems with the NetworkAdapterCheck.vbs script in the Windows Server 2000 Operating System Management Pack för Operations Manager 2007 that is causing the failed to create System.PropertyBagData error i wrote about earlier. This information in also available on https://connect.microsoft.com/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=432627&SiteID=446 Symptoms This “research” comes from getting an obscene amounts of Script or Executable Failed to run in the Operations Console. Each time it was the NetworkAdapterCheck.vbs script that could not create PropertyBagData. The error message copied from one of the alerts looks like this: The process started at 14:29:26 failed to create System.PropertyBagData, no errors detected in the output. The process exited with 0Command executed: "C:WINNTsystem32cscript.exe" /nologo "NetworkAdapterCheck.vbs" MASKEDCOMPUTERNAME 0 false true falseWorking Directory: C:Program FilesSystem Center Operations Manager 2007Health Service StateMonitoring Host Temporary Files 2882781One or more workflows were affected by this.Workflow name: Microsoft.Windows.Server.2000.NetworkAdapter.NetworkAdapterConnectionHealthInstance name: 0Instance ID: {F4C478D3-38E5-8C29-3957-E3B7F486216E}Management group: MASKED This error repeats almost as often as the script is scheduled to run and appears on almost every Windows 2000 server. Probable Cause I am not really sure, but after a quite a bit of troubleshooting I am pretty sure it all boils down to a malformed WMI-query. What I basically did was to extract the script from the MP and dry-run it to see if I could find anything obvious, which I didn’t. Since I didn’t have a good debugging too available, like in PrimalScript, I added the VBS equivalent of old-school printf debugging. I basically added wscript.echo "Line XX:" & Err.Number
