Issues that are fixed in this update rollup

Operations Manager

  • SharePoint workflows fail with an access violation under APM

    A certain sequence of the events may trigger an access violation in APM code when it tries to read data from the cache during the Application Domain unload. This fix resolves this kind of behavior.

  • Application Pool worker process crashes under APM with heap corruption

    During the Application Domain unload two threads might try to dispose of the same memory block leading to DOUBLE FREE heap corruption. This fix makes sure that memory is disposed of only one time.

  • Some Application Pool worker processes become unresponsive if many applications are started under APM at the same time

    Microsoft Monitoring Agent APM service has a critical section around WMI queries it performs. If a WMI query takes a long time to complete, many worker processes are waiting for the active one to complete the call. Those application pools may become unresponsive, depending on the wait duration. This fix eliminates the need in WMI query and significantly improves the performance of this code path.

  • MOMAgent cannot validate RunAs Account if only RODC is available

    If there's a read-only domain controller (RODC), the MoMAgent cannot validate the RunAs account. This fix resolves this issue.

  • Missing event monitor does not warn within the specified time range in SCOM 2012 R2 the first time after restart

    When you create a monitor for a missed event, the first alert takes twice the amount of time specified time in the monitor. This fix resolves the issue, and the alert is generated in the time specified.

  • SCOM cannot verify the User Account / Password expiration date if it is set by using Password Setting object

    Fine grained password policies are stored in a different container from the user object container in Active Directory. This fix resolves the problems in computing resultant set of policy (RSOP) from these containers for a user object.

  • SLO Detail report displays histogram incorrectly

    In some specific scenarios, the representation of the downtime graph is not displayed correctly. This fix resolves this kind of behavior.

  • APM support for IIS 10 and Windows Server 2016

    Support of IIS 10 on Windows Server 2016 is added for the APM feature in System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager. An additional management pack Microsoft.SystemCenter.Apm.Web.IIS10.mp is required to enable this functionality. This management pack is located in %SystemDrive%\Program Files\System Center 2012 R2\Operations Manager\Server\Management Packs for Update Rollups alongside its dependencies after the installation of Update Rollup 9.

    Important Note One dependency is not included in Update Rollup 9 and should be downloaded separately:

    Microsoft.Windows.InternetInformationServices.2016.mp

  • APM Agent Modules workflow fail during workflow shutdown with Null Reference Exception

    The Dispose() method of Retry Manager of APM connection workflow is executed two times during the module shutdown. The second try to execute this Dispose() method may cause a Null Reference Exception. This fix makes sure that the Dispose() method can be safely executed one or more times.

  • AEM Data fills up SCOM Operational database and is never groomed out

    If you use SCOM’s Agentless Exception Monitoring to examine application crash data and report on it, the data never grooms out of the SCOM Operational database. The problem with this is that soon the SCOM environment will be overloaded with all the instances and relationships of the applications, error groups, and Windows-based computers, all which are hosted by the management servers. This fix resolves this issue. Additionally, the following management pack’s must be imported in the following order:

    • Microsoft.SystemCenter.ClientMonitoring.Library.mp
    • Microsoft.SystemCenter.DataWarehouse.Report.Library.mp
    • Microsoft.SystemCenter.ClientMonitoring.Views.Internal.mp
    • Microsoft.SystemCenter.ClientMonitoring.Internal.mp

  • The DownTime report from the Availability report does not handle the Business Hours settings

    In the downtime report, the downtime table was not considering the business hours. This fix resolves this issue and business hours will be shown based on the specified business hour values.

    The updated RDL files are located in the following location:

    %SystemDrive%\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012 R2\Operations Manager\Server\Reporting

  • Adding a decimal sign in an SLT Collection Rule SLO in the ENU Console on a non-ENU OS does not work

    You run the System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager Console in English on a computer that has the language settings configured to use a non-English (United States) language that uses a comma (,) as the decimal sign instead of a period (.). When you try to create Service Level Tracking, and you want to add a Collection Rule SLO, the value you enter as the threshold cannot be configured by using a decimal sign. This fix resolves the issue.

  • SCOM Agent issue while logging Operations Management Suite (OMS) communication failure

    An issue occurs when OMS communication failures are logged. This fix resolves this issue.
