OMS AD Assessment No data Found errors
The Active Directory (AD) Assessment management pack is one of the many solutions available to users in OMS. This solution assesses the risk and health of your server environments on a regular interval and provides a prioritized list of recommendations specific to your deployed server infrastructure. If upon adding this solution to your OMS workspace, you encounter “No data found” errors, it’s a likely indication that you do not have the OMS agent installed on any domain controllers managed in your workspace. You can further verify this by using the following OMS search query and reviewing the results. Type=Operation and Solution=ADAssessment | sort OperationStatus The search result detail for managed computers will indicate whether or not they meet the requirements … Read More

New OMS Pricing and Licensing
One of the many OMS related announcements made during Ignite 2016 is that of the new pricing and licensing structure for OMS. This new pricing model has seen Microsoft move away from pricing options that included an option for a System Center edition or purchased separately, and pricing options of various add-ons for OMS based on data tiers, to a more streamlined and simplified subscription model that allows users and enterprises to select offers that make the most sense for their needs. This new subscription model is comprised of 2 types of subscriptions. For enterprises, E1 and E2 subscriptions are structured per node per month with an annual commitment, and provide a significant discount (~50%) compared to purchasing the included … Read More

Exploring OMS Settings and the New UI Changes
If you’ve been using OMS for some time, you may have noticed quite a few changes to various aspects of the OMS UI. Today I’d like to go over the most recent OMS user interface update — That of the Settings workspace. In the past, the settings workspace presented the various tab options horizontally in the UI, and clicking on a tab took you directly to the relevant data for that tab. This layout was functional, but was neither the most aesthetic nor intuitive layout. With the new UI updates, the settings tabs are now presented in a vertical layout with each tab expanding out to display the relevant content in a more intuitive and aesthetic layout. The settings … Read More
