SCSM 2025 installation failure - _PopulateUserRoles
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.
Update Rollup 7 for SCVMM 2019 with Windows Server 2025 support?
Does anyone know if Microsoft brings support for Windows Server 2025 guest virtual machines for System Center 2019 Virtual Machine Manager? With Update Rollup 4 in July 2022 Microsoft added support to manage Windows Server 2022 & Windows 11 guest virtual machines. Thank you for any news. Kind regards Patrick
VMM Module in PowerShell 7
With the latest news in the tech industry, when can we expect to see the System Center PowerShell modules to be supported in PowerShell 7.0? I believe MECM/MEM works in pwsh7 already but VMM doesn't at this point. Requiring a Windows machine to use the VMM module doesn't make a ton of sense.
Dropdown menus not showing in SCSM 2022 - With Update Rollup 2
Dear Community, we have the following problem with our newly installed environment: Any kind of dropdown menu only shows values when hovering over it (e.g. Resolving an Incident or Classifications) - although you can navigate with the arrow keys. Have any of you experienced a similar problem?System Center Orchestrator - OS Upgrade
Hello community, I am asking for your help to see how we can do an OS upgrade of our System Center Orchestrator infrastructure. We have our System Center Orchestrator 2019 infrastructure on Windows Server 2016. I would like to upgrade to Windows Server 2022. What is the best way to do this? I would like to use new servers and not do an in-place upgrade. What would be the procedure? Is SCORCH 2019 supported on 2022? I don't see it in the documentation. Thank you very much!!
Issue map prompts to properties
Hi, I am trying to create a new user account runbook so it can be used in the Self Service Portal. I start my runbook with an initialization of data and the following details: I have created my Service Request template and my Runbook automation activity template. In my Request Offering, I can map LastName, FirstName, etc., but I am not able to map Branch. What could be the issue? I need to know in which branch they work and I want it to be a simple list so they can choose from it. Please let me know if more information is required. Thanks for the help 🙂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 tokenCursor
