Windows Client Operating System Management Pack

Alerts

There is an issue with the Windows 7 Client OS MP that will generate errors after the initial import of the management pack. You are likely to see 4 alerts that are very similar. You can dismiss the alerts and they should not reappear. The 4 alerts you are likely to see will all start with:
OleDb Module encountered a failure 0x80040e37 during execution and will post it as output data item. : Invalid object name
and then have one of the following:

• 'Win7.vWin7MemoryHealthAggregationRAM'.
• 'Win7.vWin7ShellPerfAggregationComputer'.
• 'Win7.vWin7DiskFailureAggregationDisk'.
• 'Win7.vWin7DiskFailureAggregationComputer'.

These issues may be fixed in a future release of the Windows 7 Client Operating System Management Pack. When an updated version of a management pack is available you will see a yellow notification bar at the top of the Computers workspace in the Essentials console.

Performance Collection

By default, if you attempt to view CPU Performance, Processor Queue Length or Memory in the Computers workspace for computers running XP, Vista or Windows 7 the graphs will be empty.
To show information for Client Computers you will need to enable the following rules for each OS:

• Memory Available Megabytes
• Processor % Processor Time Total
• System Processor Queue Length

To enable collection of these performance counters:

1. Go to the Authoring Workspace
2. Expand Management Pack Objects and select Rules
3. In the Look For box (press Ctrl-F if it is not visible) enter Memory Available and click Find Now
4. Select Memory Available Megabytes for each client operating system to enable
5. Select Overrides -> Override this Rule -> For all objects of class
6. Check the box next to Enabled, change the Override Value to True and click OK
7. Repeat steps 3 to 6, searching for:
   • Processor % Processor
   • Processor Queue
