System Center Operations Manager 2007 SP1 & System Center Essentials 2007 SP1 Windows Server 2008 Support Hotfix

This hotfix contains fixes for issues that can occur, either after installation of Operations Manager 2007 SP1 or Essentials 2007 SP1 on Windows Server 2008, or after the operating system in-place upgrade from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008.

This hotfix should be applied to the following Operations Manager 2007 SP1 roles:

• RMS
• Management Server
• Gateway Server
• Web Console Server
• SCE Server
• Manually installed Agent (This hotfix should be applied directly to manually installed agents. Automatically deployed agents will appear in the Pending Management view to be approved for upgrade after installing this hotfix on the RMS/Management Server/Gateway server roles)

The three issue areas found and fixed are:

• An issue has been identified with upgrading an Operations Manager managed agent Operating System from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 (any supported SKU) due to which the health service fails to start on the upgraded Operations Manager managed agent machine. The issue is due to the fact that the OS upgrade removed the certificate store in which the Operations Manager Health Service places its certificate for secure storage data encryption. When the secure storage manager component of the HealthService initializes, if there is a certificate serial number set but the store doesn't exist, it fails. This hotfix resolves this issue.
• Several issues have been found due to User Access Control (UAC) changes within Windows Server 2008, where the Operations Manager Web Console fails to render pages correctly. Symptoms can include:
  • Web Console fails to launch
  • The My Workspace page fails to render
  • Performance views fail to render
• An issue has been identified when upgrading an Operations Manager Management Server role Operating System from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 (any supported SKU), where the Operations Manager performance counters are not registered after upgrade. Installation of this hotfix, applied after OS upgrade, corrects this issue.
