Orchestrator Scheduling Challenge
Hi. I've been using SC orchestrator for almost a decade now. However, not until today have I needed to run something hourly and on the hour. Presently, when I configure this, in the "Monitor Date/Time activity I specify 0 days, 1 hour, and 0 minutes. Then I check the "Starting" checkbox and enter 0 for "minutes after the hour". Press finish, and come back in and it's unchecked. How can I schedule my hourly job to run at the hour mark? I have a workaround to run at the 1 minute after the hour mark, but that's ... not what we really want.deployment script fails with division through zero when deploying
I created an installation script with this batch line: setup.exe -s -l1031 -f1".\Provi75inst.iss" This is put into a install.bat file that gets deployed with the software package. I tested it with admin-rights and the software installs fine. When I depoloy it through system center and run it in my softwarecenter, I get this error: 0xC0000094 (-1073741676) I researched that it is a "division through zero" error. What the heck. Does anyone know what is going on here? Is there a difference running the installation in SYSTEM context? Due to company restrictions I can't use PSEXEC to verify this. Any idea?
SCOM 2022 and SCOM 2019
Hello All I have just joined this forum after 48 hours of intensive struggling, I am trying to apply for a job that requires SCOM experience, so I tried to install it on my Windows server 2019 domain on my home lab, I found that setting up SCOMJ 2022 or 2019 is a complete nightmare, possibly I tried over 50 times to no avail, I consistently get the error message in the SCOM setup log of: Error: :PopulateUserRoles: failed : Threw Exception.Type: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException, Exception Error Code: 0x80070539, Exception.Message: The security ID structure is invalid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070539) Error: :PopulateUserRoles: failed : Threw Exception.Type: System.ArgumentException, Exception Error Code: 0x80070057, Exception.Message: Value does not fall within the expected range. Error: :StackTrace: at Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Interop.Security.Auth.AzAuthorizationStoreClass.Initialize(Int32 lFlags, String bstrPolicyURL, Object varReserved) The SQL connection during setup is ok as the first DB OperationsDatabase is created but it gets deleted after that error due to a rollback. Can anyone help me please as I am just about to give up on the SCOM and the job Cheers

Unable to update Service request via SCO runbook
Good afternoon, Everyone, I’ve started developing a series of runbooks for our new service desk implementation, and one of the key requirements is the ability to automatically update Service Requests and other work items during the workflow. However, I’m running into an issue when attempting to pass the GUID of the Service Request into the “Update Object” activity. Even though the GUID is successfully retrieved from the Service Request and passed into the runbook as an input parameter, the activity reports that the value is an invalid GUID. This suggests that either the GUID is being transformed somewhere in the process, isn’t being interpreted correctly by the activity, or the wrong property is being supplied even though the value appears correct when inspected within the runbook. At this stage, I’m trying to determine whether the issue is caused by the way SCSM exposes the GUID, how the runbook passes the parameter, or a limitation quirk within the Update Object activity itself. Any guidance or examples of correctly updating Service Requests via runbooks especially when using GUID values dynamically would be greatly appreciated.System Center Orchestrator 2022
I have automations set up for user terminations. When a user is termed, i want to be able to give the manager access to their one drive (sharepoint module issues). The way i am authenticating is with a cert, app-only authentication. the problem that i have found with connect-sposervice is that the module is older than the connect-exchange online module and it only looks in the current users cert store so when i run a command it says it cant find it. so Ok, i connected to powershell with the orchestrator service account and imported the cert to that local store but it still didnt work. I then tried to use the newer powershell module, connect-pnponline but that requires powershell 7.x.x to even run and orchestrator is using powershell 5 (at least its 64 bit) So i then try to run powershell 7 with a run .net activity but when i use orchestrator variables, it just comes out as garbled text since the activity isnt the one running the command. Any suggestions on how i make this work? As i have said, i just need orchestrator to be able to assign the manager as full control over a terminated user's onedrive. The exchange modules work great for app only auth, but the sharepoint ones just arent working for me. I used to pass a password using basic auth but that is now deprecated, (and its not a good practice to do that anyways). Thank you so much in advance for any tips or tricks to get this working.
