SCOM Proxy configuration for Office 365 MP

Question

Hello All,

Thanks in advance.

I am trying to configure O365 MP.

As per the MP guide tried to edit the following config file. Once i edited the Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Monitoring.Console.exe.config file the SCOM Reporting tab is not loading. Network team confirmed we are using correct proxy. Any Help.

===================================================================

Configure proxy connection.
To use a proxy server for the Microsoft 365 MP wizard queries, perform the following steps:

1. First, you will need to edit the Monitoring Console configuration file. It can be found in the following location:
   C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center <SCOM Version>\Operations Manager\Console\Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Monitoring.Console.exe.config
   Add the following lines in the configuration section of the configuration file:
   <system.net>
   <defaultProxy enabled="true" useDefaultCredentials="true">
   <proxy proxyaddress="http://xxx.xx.x.xx:xxxx" bypassonlocal="false" />
   <bypasslist></bypasslist>
   </defaultProxy>
   </system.net>
   Note: proxyaddress value must be entered as follows: http://ProxyIPaddress:Port, for example http://192.168.0.200:8080

Hi Anu,

I can think of 2 possible causes for that:

• Your proxy is being used for local addresses. In this case you need to tweak the option: bypassonlocal="false"

It is the same as the option "Don't use the proxy server for local addresses" :

• The other thing is the proxy port. If it matches the Port used by reporting services then this can also cause the issue.

Hope I was able to help. Regards,
