In case you’re still running Windows Server 2012R2, here’s the ‘DNS2012R2 Addendum pack’ giving the same functionality as the version agnostic 2016+ addendum.\u00a0\u00a0Why?\u00a0 DNS is a translation method to convert names to IP’s.\u00a0 Can you imagine if we wanted to connect to google via IP?\u00a0 The number of workflows in the SCOM DNS pack (built by the DNS Product Group) makes for an astounding number of workflows running on your DC every minute.\u00a0 Forward and reverse lookups are a good check, verifying DNS is functioning.\u00a0 In a complex environment with 100’s of zones, SCOM becomes a utilization culprit for a DC’s primary missions – authenticate and resolve.\u00a0 This article will help you understand how the pack will add new capabilities and tune DNS monitoring to best practice.<\/p>\n

Daily summary report of DNS alerts broken out<\/p>\n

Daily alert closure workflow to close out DNS rules\/monitor<\/p>\n

DNS service(s) recovery automation<\/p>\n

Synthetic internal\/external nslookup monitor (scoped to PDC emulators versus ALL DNS servers<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Download the ‘DNS2012R2 Addendum pack’ on GitHub to improve AD Integrated (ADI) DNS monitoring on Windows Server 2016+ (version agnostic).<\/p>\n

Save and Import pack, then update XML for group GUIDs<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Update XML<\/h4>\n

First, update XML with the GUIDs from your management group.\u00a0 Second, map the group DisplayName to find\/replace the GUID for each group.<\/p>\n

\"Get-SCOMClassInstance<\/a>

 <\/p>\n

Third, using Notepad++ highlight the ContextInstance GUID and hit Control-H, and paste the group GUID then click Replace All.<\/p>\n

\"Using<\/a>
Using Notepad++ highlight the ContextInstance GUID and hit Control-H, and paste the group GUID then click Replace All.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Fourth – Rinse and repeat for the other three groups.<\/p>\n

Lastly, save file, move to SCOM MS, and import!<\/p>\n
