DPM 2025 UR1 Agent Install Failed

Antal_Kabatek — Thu, 26 Feb 2026 11:40:40 GMT

Hi,

I have fresh installed DMP server with the following stack:

Windows Server 2025 Standard

SQL Server 2022

Reporting Services 2022

After DPM install I updated to UR1 without agent deployment. I have new cluster Windows Server 2025 Cluster Nodes and I would like protect with the new DPM but agent install is failed with the following message:

Install protection agent on HOSTNAME failed:

Error 313: The agent operation failed because an error occurred while running the installation program on HOSTNAME.

Error details: Fatal error during installation (0x80070643)

Recommended action: Review the log files on HOSTNAME: [windir]\temp\msdpm*.log and take appropriate action. Retry the operation, and if the error persists, restart the computer and then retry the operation again.

I find this in the log:

Product: Microsoft System Center DPM Protection Agent -- Error 1723. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action _CheckCertificatesConfigured, entry: CheckCertificatesConfigured, library: C:\WINDOWS\Installer\MSI6206.tmp

Error 1723. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action _CheckCertificatesConfigured, entry: CheckCertificatesConfigured, library: C:\WINDOWS\Installer\MSI6206.tmp

Action ended 12:11:00: _CheckCertificatesConfigured. Return value 3.

I tied these steps:

1. I can deploy dpm agent from my previous dpm 2022 server with success to the host

2. I copied the dmp agent installer to the host from the original DPM 2025 installer 10.25.25.0 and I can install the agent with success

3. I copied the dmp agent installer to the host from the updated UR1 environment 10.25.39.0 but i can't install and got this error message witch is almost the same what I find in the log

I think something is wrong with the updated UR1 agent.

I am looking for solution.

deployment script fails with division through zero when deploying

HorNet505 — Tue, 30 Dec 2025 19:38:50 GMT

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?

Unable to update Service request via SCO runbook

Hjb118 — Mon, 24 Nov 2025 07:32:32 GMT

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

good1228 — Fri, 14 Nov 2025 17:19:43 GMT

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.

Unable to patch Windows Server 2025/24H2

BigGreen2014 — Fri, 14 Nov 2025 16:53:28 GMT

Windows updates will not display in software center for 2025/24H2 clients.

Currently running SCCM version 2503 hotfix rollup KB32851084. SCCM client version on test server is 5.00.9135.1013. Test server OS is 24H2 build 2600.2894.
I have verified that the 24H2 product is enabled in the software update point configuration and within the ADR. ADR preview shows the 24H2 update (KB5068861).

I see KB5068861 under the deployments tab of the test server device. I have a daily maintenance window on the collection, and this shows on the test client within "installation status -->upcoming" tab in software center. I do realize that this hotfix rollup included a fix for 2025 OS.

Windows Server 2025 updates use the incorrect Maximum run time value in the properties for the software update component. The value can lead to update installations being incorrectly canceled.

I did change the maximum run time for KB5068861 from 10 minutes to 60 minutes. Could this be a metadata related issue with the existing KB that is currently downloaded to SCCM (via WSUS)? I hope I'm not missing something obvious but do welcome an easy resolution if that's the case. Thanks for any suggestions or troubleshooting suggestions.

need help with a problem related to the system center

How to Configure SCOM 2025 Email Alerts with Microsoft Graph or SMTP OAuth (SMTP AUTH Deprecation)

mrlovett — Mon, 03 Nov 2025 16:01:51 GMT

Hi all,

I'm just getting started with SCOM 2025 and need help configuring email notifications to use modern authentication. I understand that SMTP AUTH is being deprecated by Microsoft in April 2026, so I want to set up either:

Microsoft Graph API for sending alerts
Or SMTP with OAuth 2.0 (e.g., via Office 365)

I haven’t done any configuration yet—just looking for clear guidance on how to get started. Specifically:

What steps are needed to register an app in Entra ID (Azure AD) to support this?
What permissions should the app have (e.g., Mail.Send)?
How do I configure the notification channel in SCOM to use OAuth?
Is Microsoft Graph supported directly in SCOM 2025, or is SMTP with OAuth the only option?
Do I need to manually generate tokens, or does SCOM handle that automatically once the app is registered?

Any documentation, walkthroughs, or examples would be hugely appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Cannot update to Update Rollup 3 for System Center 2022

Antal_Kabatek — Sun, 02 Nov 2025 08:41:52 GMT

Hi,

I tried update my DPM 2022 to the latest version. I tried also via Windows Update and manually but both method is unsuccessful. When I tried windows update method I got the following error message:
There were some problems installing updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: (0x80070643)

For manually update I run this package but the setup wizard didn't show up:

System Center Orchestrator SSL error when running DBConfig against existing DB

ElDaverino — Thu, 25 Sep 2025 21:40:59 GMT

Hey all, I migrated the server to a new AD domain, and ran a repair on SQL, and re installed Orchestrator.

SQL is working as expected. but when Orchestrator goes to configure the Database, it gives an ssl error. I told it to trust the server cert,

SQL is on the same server.

It sees the existing Orchestrator DB, but gives ssl error, even i try to use it, or try and create a new DB.

Orchestrator 2025, SQL 2022

This is in the dbconfig error log

The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted.

Do I need to delete the certs form the old domain or something weird? (We don't have the new CA set up yet; I just need to run locally for now)

Orchestrator 2025 Security Credentials Problem

AndreasBon — Thu, 25 Sep 2025 12:48:54 GMT

Hi,

I’m experiencing an issue in SCO 2025 that has occurred across three different installations.

In the Text File Management and File Management IPs, I’m unable to save the security credentials information for the activities. In other activities, such as Get Service Status, it works as expected.

If I enter the account information, click Finish, and then reopen the properties, the fields are empty. As a result, the activity runs using the service account specified for the Orchestrator Runbook Service.

Has anyone else experienced the same issue, or could there be something wrong with my installations?

All Clients Showing with Question Mark in MECM Console - ResourceID Issue

shocko — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 13:41:15 GMT

All of a sudden (2 weeks ago) all my MECM Clients (~ 4000) in MECM 2409 are showing with a question mark (?) in the console and no values in Last Online Time, Last Activity or HeartBeatDDR. Upon investigation in the statesy.log file on our single site server we see the following message for all clients:

SQL MESSAGE: dbo.spProcessStateReport - The record for machine MYCLIENT (GUID:CF5413C8-1DA7-450D-9243-33DB539DE8FF) was not found in the database. SMS_STATE_SYSTEM 24/09/2025 10:36:45 15356 (0x3BFC)

We then ran MS SQL profiler and see that this external CLR stored proceedure checks for the existince of the client in the SQL view vLocalSystemIDXRef. This view is defined as follows:

create view [dbo].[vLocalSystemIDXRef] as select MachineID, GUID from MachineIdGroupXRef where ArchitectureKey=5 and MachineID between dbo.fnGetSiteRangeStart() and dbo.fnGetSiteRangeEnd()

The issue is that all clients are actually in the underlying table MachineIdGroupXRef but due to the filter dbo.fnGetSiteRangeStart() and dbo.fnGetSiteRangeEnd() they are not part of the view. The reason is their ResourceID is only 4 digits and the value returend from fnGetSiteRangeStart is 16777216.

Q: How could the clients be getting this 4-digit resourceID all of a sudden? We have made no chnagesto MECM (no upgrades, DB restores etc. ).

DPM used for Sharepoint doesn't clean catalog table

aviggiano — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 12:05:36 GMT

Hi All,

we are using DPM for saving our SP farms in DEV, TEST and PROD environment.

On DEV farm (quite small) we don't have any kind of issue and both recovery point tasks and SharePoint Catalog Task are executed without errors.

On TEST and PROD, instead we are often facing some errors (MDF in use, VSS issues and so on) and for this reason we had to completely delete and re-create the protection groups and we even deleted the data inside. So we started from the scratch.

Nevertheless even if we completely deleted ALL the protection groups without retaining data, our DPM database kept growing steadily and no data have been cleaned or removed.

Above all we noticed the following table continuing to grow: tbl_RM_SharePointRecoverableObject

In addition we found in some DPM database tables that the deleted protection group are still present in the table but they are marked as deleted.

But even if they are in this state, the DPM doesn't clean anything and the DB still growing...

The MaintenanceJob CatalogPruning it's executed but it does absolutely anything.

So my question is:

Are there jobs that clean up all this obsolete data? Isn’t there any maintenance to clear everything out?

Thanks

Antonio

DPM Backup Issue – Replica Inconsistent

Whatever1 — Mon, 08 Sep 2025 12:31:05 GMT

Hi,

We are using Microsoft SCDPM and everything was working fine until recently. We suddenly started receiving the error “replica is inconsistent.” There were no VM migrations and no configuration changes. Running a consistency check does not fix the problem. The only way we can make it work is to remove the machine from the protection group, select the option to delete the existing data, and then re-add it. This means we lose all previous backups. After four to six days the same issue comes back again, affecting random VMs and not always the same ones.
Is there any other way to resolve this without losing backup history? Where can I look at the logs to understand the root cause? Is there still any way to get Microsoft support for DPM?

Orchestrator Designer 10.25.1.7 VMware Integration Guest OS version

RodPayne — Tue, 12 Aug 2025 16:38:13 GMT

We are new to System Center 2025 Orchestrator Runbook Designer and the VMware Integration. We would like to use the native functionality to create virtual machines, but in the Create VM activity, the Guest OS property has a list of possibilities that only goes up to Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.

Does anyone else use the VMware Integration Create VM activity, and does it show supported operating system versions? If so, what could we be doing wrong?

SCSM 2025 installation failure - _PopulateUserRoles

Rafael_Monteiro — Mon, 21 Jul 2025 16:36:01 GMT

Let me lay out the full picture first.

Windows Server 2025, Remote SQL Server 2022 CU 20 FCI (used for internal reasons, but I also tried using Always On and encountered the same error), and a clean installation of SCSM 2025 Management Server. I also tried CU19, but the same issue occurs.

The installation starts without any problems. It goes through all the steps: creates the database, configures registry settings, configures the server, installs services, and imports management packs. But right after that, I get the following error:

_"An error occurred while executing a custom action: PopulateUserRoles
This upgrade attempt has failed before permanent modifications were made. Upgrade has successfully rolled back to the original state of the system. Once the corrections are made, you can retry the upgrade for this role."

Immediately after this, the Event Viewer logs the following Event ID 36882:

"The certificate received from the remote server was issued by an untrusted certificate authority. Because of this, none of the data contained in the certificate can be validated. The TLS connection request has failed. The attached data contains the server certificate.
The SSPI client process is rundll32 (PID: 5084).”

SQL does not require encryption and is not using any custom certificate. Just to clarify, the internal CA certificate is installed on all servers.

The event is weird because, at this point, the installation has already created and configured the database. It doesn’t make sense to me, but the event appears at the exact same moment the installation fails.

I’ve already checked permissions on both SQL and SCSM. The service account is a local administrator, has "Log on as a service" rights, and is a sysadmin on SQL.

I’ve searched everywhere online but haven’t found a solution...

Any ideas?

Thanks.
