Migrate Clients to a ConfigMgr HTTPS Site

Chiyo OdikaConfigMgr, SCCMLeave a Comment

Happy Holidays friends! I’ve been rather busy with several riveting initiatives of recent, and thought I’d share one of them. In this case, some ideas on migrating clients to a ConfigMgr destination hierarchy that is configured for HTTPS which means that all client to server communication happens over HTTPS. This article will expressly cover ideas on said migration. This article will not cover the steps for configuring HTTPs communication in ConfigMgr. Refer to the links below for some guidance on HTTPS configuration for ConfigMgr. https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/configmgrdogs/2015/01/21/configmgr-2012-r2-certificate-requirements-and-https-configuration/ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sccm/core/plan-design/network/pki-certificate-requirements I strongly recommend that you acquaint yourself with the concepts and material covered in both articles and elesewhere steps before continuing with this article.

Multi-line Queries Now in OMS Log Search Editor

Chiyo OdikaAZURE, Microsoft Operations Management Suite, OMSLeave a Comment

Fans of multi-line queries rejoice! The OMS/ Log Analytics Log Search editor now supports multi-line queries. Even before the new Log Analytics search language was introduced, the constraints of the Log Search editor field were quite apparent. This has been a sorely needed feature in Log Search, and I imagine that ardent users of the query language heaved a collective sigh of relief when the Analytics portal was introduced with multi-line query support.  With the introduction of the Analytics portal, which supports multi-line queries and advanced analytics capabilities, the analytics possibilities seem endless.   It’s also worth noting that in addition to the multi-line query support, Log Search editor also features intellisense providing query suggestions as you type. The editor … Read More

DPM Modify Protection Group Error 31224

Chiyo OdikaDPM, SQL, SYSTEM CENTERLeave a Comment

Here’s a Scenario: I protected some SQL data sources in DPM in a bid to ensure that transaction logs got backed up, and I configured my DPM protection group synchronization frequency accordingly, but wasn’t seeing my data getting backed up as frequently as expected. To remediate this, I modified my protection group by unprotecting said data, and re-protecting by defining desired settings in another protection group. At this point my data was protected and had several recovery points, but not with the desired frequency. I then unprotected to test with different settings, and upon attempting to protect the data again, I encountered the following error below: Modify protection group: [group name] failed: Error 31224: [data path] has recently been migrated. … Read More
