System Center Orchestrator 2022 Web Console Issues
This is more for information for others that have experienced the issues I have with System Center Orchestrator 2022 and the Web Console. Issues Discussed: Runbooks not visible in the Web Console Cannot remove stale runbook server entries Runbooks checked out in Web Console Issue 1: Runbooks not visible in the Web Console. In this issue the left hand pane where the runbook structure should be populated is blank. Solution 1: Ran this query on the Orchestrator DB GRANT CONTROL ON ASYMMETRIC KEY::[ORCHESTRATOR_ASYM_KEY] TO [Microsoft.SystemCenter.Orchestrator.Admins] GRANT CONTROL ON SYMMETRIC KEY::[ORCHESTRATOR_SYM_KEY] TO [Microsoft.SystemCenter.Orchestrator.Admins] GRANT EXECUTE ON object::[Microsoft.SystemCenter.Orchestrator].[GetSecurityToken] TO [Microsoft.SystemCenter.Orchestrator.Operators] GRANT SELECT ON object::[Microsoft.SystemCenter.Orchestrator.Internal].[Settings] TO [Microsoft.SystemCenter.Orchestrator.Operators] GRANT SELECT ON object::[Microsoft.SystemCenter.Orchestrator.Internal].[AuthorizationCache] TO [Microsoft.SystemCenter.Orchestrator.Admins] Issue 2: Unable to delete stale or orphaned runbook server instances I decommissioned some older runbook servers but was unable to delete them from any of the orchestrator consoles. Solution: Run these sql queries against the orchestartor database DELETE FROM [Orchestrator].[dbo].[CLIENTCONNECTIONS] WHERE [ClientMachine] = 'SCORCHRB' -- Here SCORCHRB is my Runbook Server Name. DELETE FROM [Orchestrator].[dbo].[ACTIONSERVERS] WHERE [Computer] = 'SCORCHRBServer' -- Here SCORCHRBServer is my Runbook Server Name. DELETE FROM dbo.OBJECTS where Name = ‘SCORCHRBServer’ -- Here SCORCHRBServer is my Runbook Server Name. Issue 3: Runbooks remain in the checked out state in the web console I have run into an issue where no matter how many times i check in a runbook, the runbook in the web console remains checked out. Solution 3: Run this sql query against the orchestrator database use Orchestrator GO Truncate table [Microsoft.SystemCenter.Orchestrator.Internal].AuthorizationCache DECLARE @secToken INT DECLARE tokenCursor CURSOR FOR SELECT Id FROM [Microsoft.SystemCenter.Orchestrator.Internal].SecurityTokens where ExpirationTime >= GETUTCDATE() OPEN tokenCursor FETCH NEXT FROM tokenCursor INTO @secToken WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 BEGIN PRINT 'Computing Authorization Cache for Security Token: ' + Convert(Nvarchar, @secToken) exec [Microsoft.SystemCenter.Orchestrator].ComputeAuthorizationCache @TokenId = @secToken FETCH NEXT FROM tokenCursor INTO @secToken END CLOSE tokenCursor DEALLOCATE tokenCursorService Manager 2019 updates? Orchestrator?
Hello, I was wondering when or IF there will be any new updates like a UR3 for SCSM. I can really find no documentation on upgrade paths or release date or even a TBD. Just trying to find out if SCSM is dead or not. If not when will the next update get released since SCOM update got recently released? I do not want to have my system center running a different version of updates. Also, what about Orchestrator? Something else I can limited information on. When is that getting an update?
Grant or Revoke Permissions on Shared Mailbox using SCORCH
Hello Guys, I am trying to create a runbook wherein, we need to grant / revoke permissions in a shared mailbox using update mailbox. When I grant access using (Grant Send On Behalf To) it's working as expected for a single user or set of users. But, when I try to revoke access using (Grant Send On Behalf To) parameter, we get below errors based on the input. When I leave the field empty, it revokes all the send on behalf of permission assigned on the shared mailbox. When I use @{remove=username@domainname.extension} or @{remove="username@domainname.extension"} it throws below error. Input string was not in a correct format. Exception: FormatException Target site: StringBuilder.AppendFormatHelper Stack trace: at System.Text.StringBuilder.AppendFormatHelper(IFormatProvider provider, String format, ParamsArray args) at System.String.FormatHelper(IFormatProvider provider, String format, ParamsArray args) at System.String.Format(IFormatProvider provider, String format, Object[] args) at SystemCenter.IntegrationPack.ExchangeAdmin.Domain.Core.ActivityLogger.Format(String message, Object[] arguments) at SystemCenter.IntegrationPack.ExchangeAdmin.Domain.Core.ActivityLogger.LogError(String message, Object[] arguments) at SystemCenter.IntegrationPack.ExchangeAdmin.Gateway.Core.ExchangeGatewayBase.CheckErrors(String commandText, ICollection`1 errors) at SystemCenter.IntegrationPack.ExchangeAdmin.Gateway.Core.ExchangeGatewayBase.Execute(ExchangeRequest request) at SystemCenter.IntegrationPack.ExchangeAdmin.Domain.Core.CommandHandlerBase.ExecuteRequest(ExchangeRequest request) at SystemCenter.IntegrationPack.ExchangeAdmin.Domain.Core.UpdateMailboxHandler.ExecuteCommand(ActivityCommand command) at SystemCenter.IntegrationPack.ExchangeAdmin.Domain.ExecuteContext.Execute(ActivityCommand command) at SystemCenter.IntegrationPack.ExchangeAdmin.Activity.UpdateMailboxActivity.Execute(IActivityRequest request, ExecuteContext context) at SystemCenter.IntegrationPack.ExchangeAdmin.Activity.ExchangeActivity.Execute(IActivityRequest request, IActivityResponse response) When I use remove="username@domainname.extension" I get the below error.

Please make sure that it was spelled correctly or specify a different object.. Inner exception: . Command info: Command name: Set-Mailbox.

Orchestrator 2016 UR4 broke Orchestrator
Dear MS, After installing System Center Orchestrator 2016 UR4 on my 2016 test environment, suddenly after reboot nothing was working. I even tried opening the deployment manager on the Orchestrator Management Server and connect to 'localhost', nothing worked. I removed all the UR4 patches rebooted again, and everything worked as normal. Anyone else experienced this problem? Regards
SCO: The Runbook Server was unable to publish the runbook with unique identifier
Have this in my System Center Orchestrator Runbook Events: The Runbook Server was unable to publish the runbook with unique identifier '{GUID}' However, no effects are visible, but error messages are rarely good.. Any idea?SCOR - SharePoint Integration Pack - Get View Items
We're trying to use the Get View Items but when we run it it's pulling out the full list items instead. We have: Get List Items List Name: IAF_Form_List List View: Old Forms This then reads 116 entries rather than the 20 it should. Is there something we're doing wrong here or is it broken? Using Orchestrator 2019.
