SCOM2012R2 - DFS Replication Monitoring

Question

Hi Team,

Need a Process Check for setting up DFS Replication monitoring MP for SCOM2012R2.

1 - Installed Microsoft.Windows.FileServer.DFSR.2012R2
2 - Created a Group and added my file servers in this Group
3 - Created a Run As Account for DFS and Added it to DFS Replication Monitoring Account Profile
4 - Targeted my Group to this Run As Account (as below):

5 - Used "More Secure" option to Distribute this Run As Account to my Servers Manually to :

6 - Followed the MP Guide and Enabled Object Discoveries for DFS Replication Backlog Discovery:

To enable backlog monitoring for the DFS Replication Management Pack, perform the following steps:

1. In the Operations console, click Authoring.
2. In the Authoring pane, expand Management Pack Objects, and then click Object Discoveries.
3. In the Object Discoveries pane, completely expand Replication Connection.
4. In the results pane, select the discovery rule titled DFS Replication Backlog Discovery.
5. On the Operations Manager toolbar, click Overrides, and then point to Override the Object Discovery, We recommend that you create an override with the scope ‘For all objects of type: DFS Replication Service’.
6. To enable the backlog monitoring discovery script, select the parameter Enabled, and then set its Override Setting to TRUE,

Saved changed to new Custom Override MP.

Now I am waiting for discovery to work and see what it finds.
Can someone confirm if the steps above are correct?

Answer 1

What permission does your runas account have on the DFS servers?
I think it needs to be local admin on the server, is it the case?
What result do you get if you manually run a dfsrdiag backlog command in your environment using the runas account?

Is there a solution available? I ran into the same problem.
