Very short blogpost. SCOM agent of any version DOESN’T work on SCSM 2012 servers, even don’t try to install it, you can damage your SCSM installation. This is true for Beta, and, unfortunately, this is true for RTM too. So the only way to monitor SCSM servers with SCOM is a using agentless monitoring.

Updated 22.07.2013. Information about SCSM 2012 SP1. The SCSM 201 SP1 already contains the SCOM 2012 SP1 agent. For you this means:

Unfortunately, AD connect doesn’t have a ability to change it schedule. For SCSM 2010 AD connector runs one per hour, for SCSM 2012 it run once per 24 hours. For small domain this is acceptable schedule but for large domains with many users it can be potential risk of overload of the SQL or SCSM servers. AD connector get from AD only objects changes since last run but even this amount of data can be large and reduce workload to SCSM management server and even more to SQL server.

Office365 is a cloud-based solution which allows you to host email and SharePoint at microsoft’s servers on the cloud. And if you already use this solution and starting using the SCSM when early or later you want to send notifications to Exchange Online mailboxes.

Microsoft try to improve performance for SCSM 2010 with different way. One of that way – use ordinal data instead of string data in console. But that change in data also make change in enum columns too: when you try to sort, group of search at enum columns the result is very strange at first look – instead of strings (like “High”, “Medium” or “Low” and so on) you see the digits. Why and how to change that?
