More Information

Symptoms	Scenario
The network device state view does not display the device name.	You add one or more network devices, you open the monitoring pane, you select and then right-click Network Devices, and then you select Personalize View. When you click to select the Device Name check box, the device name does not appear.
If the discovery data contains some double-byte characters such as Japanese Characters, the discovery process fails when you try to insert a value into a string.	When a discovery process tries to insert a double-byte character into a string value, the request is rejected by the Root Management Server. Note Double-byte characters are used in non-Latin languages such as Japanese.
The availability reports that are exported to TIF files or to PDF files are truncated.	When you export an availability report to a TIF file or to a PDF file, the print preview feature shows the report truncated. The printout of the report is multiple pages long.
The property bags of the WMIEventProvider module do not support including or excluding of specific properties.	Manipulating the output of the Microsoft.Windows.WmiEventProvider module by using the PropertyIncludes and PropertyExcludes configuration parameters in the Management Pack is not supported.Note These configuration parameters define the included or excluded Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) properties.
The color of the chart lines does not match the legend in the Web console in the Performance view.	The user selects the performance view for an instance that has a large amount of data in the Web console. The user selects and unselects what data is displayed. After the user selects and unselects the data, the chart lines do not correspond to the chart legend.
When SQL Reporting Services is enabled in SCOM by using the United States FIPS security, the datawarehouse encounters an InvalidOperationException error.	The user enables the United States FIPS compliance policy on a Root Management Server that is running Windows Server 2008 and that has SCOM Reporting Services installed. When this action is taken, the InvalidOperationException error occurs, and the data is no longer collected in the datawarehouse.For more information about the United States FIPS, visit the following Microsoft Web site: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/955720
The monitoring host process does not start immediately when tasks are received.	When a monitoring host sends some workflows to another monitoring host, the second monitoring host does not start the workflows until all tasks are received.
The Operations Manager console crashes when you open multiple customized views in a new window.	The user starts the Operations Manager console. In different windows, the user opens more than three state views and opens more than three diagram views. After 5-10 minutes, the console crashes.
The Allow Anonymous discovery property in the Internet Information Services (IIS) Management Pack is incorrect in the console.	The user installs IIS together with an FTP site on a server that is running Windows Server 2003. After you install the IIS Management Pack, the Allow Anonymous discovery property changes when the discovery process occurs regardless of how IIS is configured.
A restart dialog box appears when you run an update before the files for the update are received.	When you install an update, the user clicks Run Server Update. Then, the user is given the option to restart the computer. However, the update agent has not yet received the updates.
The agent update packages are not deployed to servers that have the Terminal Services Gateway (TS Gateway) role installed or that have the Remote Desktop Gateway (RD Gateway) role service installed.	When you install Cumulative Update 1 for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) 2007 R2 on a gateway server, the agent .msp files are not copied from the agent management directory.For more information about Cumulative Update 1 for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) 2007 R2, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 974144 System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 Cumulative Update 1 Release Notes
Audit Collection Services stops collecting data if the Event Log service uses the automatic backup feature.	The user enables the AutoArchive feature on a domain controller. The Audit Collection Services does not reliably collect forward events from the Security log.

Manual operations that must be performed after you update the Root Management Server

Note You do not have to repeat the DiscoveryEntitySProcs.SQL installation if you have previously installed Cumulative Update 1 for System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2. The following supplied management pack must be imported manually by using Import Management Packs wizard by using the Operations Manager console. The Windows Installer packages that are released for each localized version of Operations Manager contain the appropriate localized version of the management pack. For example, the following file contains the localized version of the management pack for the Japanese localized version of Operations Manager:

SystemCenterOperationsManager2007-R2CU2-KB979257-X86-X64-IA64-JPN.MSI This updated management pack is located in the ManagementPacks folder of the package installation. This package installation is mentioned in the "Procedure 1" section that is shown later in this article.

Microsoft.SystemCenter.DatawareHouse.Report.Library.mpThe following updated SQL stored procedure file that is included must be manually installed. We recommended that this update be applied to the Operations database after you apply the server update to the Root Management Server. The updated stored procedure is located in the SQLUpdate folder of the package installation. This package installation is mentioned in the "Procedure 1" section that is shown later in this article.

DiscoveryEntitySProcs.sql

Steps to install DiscoveryEntitySPRocs.sql

To apply this DiscoveryEntitySPRocs.sql database update, you have to follow two separate procedures. If the Root Management Server and Operations database role reside on a single computer, and if the hotfix files are installed on the Root Management Server, you have to follow only Procedure 2.The following is a summary of these procedures:

Extract the hotfix files from the package by running the MSI file.
Use Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio to run commands that are in the supplied Transact-SQL file against the Operations Manager Database server.

Details of these procedures are as follows:

Procedure 1

This procedure can be performed on any computer that has SQL Server Management Studio installed and that can connect to the Operations Manager Operations database server.To extract the management pack files that are contained in this hotfix, follow these steps:

Copy the following file to either a local folder or to an available network-shared folder:

SystemCenterOperationsManager2007-R2CU2-KB979257-X86-X64-IA64-locale.MSI
Run this file for everyone. Note the installation path that is suggested in the installation.

Note The installation path is typically the following:

Program Files\System Center 2007 R2 Hotfix Utility

Procedure 2

On the Root Management Server, stop the System Center Management service, the System Center Management Configuration service, and System Center Data Access service.
Log on to the computer that hosts the Operations Manager 2007 database server role as a user who has database owner rights (“dbo” rights) to the Operations Manager 2007 database. To perform the database update remotely, log on to a computer that hosts SQL Server Management Studio as a user who has appropriate "dbo" rights to the Operations Manager 2007 database. Run SQL Server Management Studio.
In the Connect to Server dialog box, connect to the SQL Server that hosts the Operations Manager database.
Click New Query on the toolbar.
From the SQL Editor toolbar, use the Available databases option to select the Operations Manager database. For example, the "OperationsManager" database.
On the File menu, click Open, and then browse for the path that was noted in Procedure 1 and that contains the DiscoveryEntitySProcs.sql file. Select this file, and then click Open
When the file is loaded, click Execute in the SQL Editor toolbar.
View the Messages pane to check whether the Transact-SQL commands ran successfully.
Exit SQL Server Management Studio.
On the Root Management Server, start the System Center Management service, the System Center Management Configuration service, and the System Center Data Access service.
