MMA Agent, cross platform, and Azure

  • Article

Things that make you go hmmm....

 

 

Ran across a scenario where we were trying to connect Azure Cross-platform (Linux) VM's and MMA/SCOM agents to SCOM management group.

 

Management group was 2012R2, discovery wizard from SCOM console, failed to install agent, certificate errors.

 

Reseraching, found this article first

Applies:
