Updated: MP for System Center Configurations Manager 2007 SP2 on x64

Sam T — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 11:13:00 +0000

Microsoft has released an updated MP for SCCM SP2 (v6.0.6000.2, released on 10/28/2009) for OpsMgr R2.

The update basically contains support for x64 that was missing in the previous release.

The Configuration Manager 2007 SP2 Management Pack adds support for monitoring Configuration Manager 2007 SP2 in a 64-bit environment with Operations Manager 2007 R2 or Operations Manager 2007 SP1 with hotfix (KB971541) installed. This enables the Configuration Manager 2007 SP2 Management Pack to work with either the 32-bit or the 64-bit Operations Manager 2007 agent. Except for the 64-bit support, the other features and guidance for Configuration Manager 2007 Management Packs remain intact.

Installing SQL Reporting Services 2005 on Windows 2008 x64

Let’s say you have followed this guide: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938245/

Still not working? The one thing I forgot, or rather did not find in any of the guides, was to change the website application pool to “Classic .NET AppPool”. It is actually noted in KB938245 but only after the installation, during the configuration. For some reason I have not been able to install Reporting Services 2005 on Windows 2008 without changing this prior to the installation.

Maybe I am doing it wrong but this seems to be working all right for me.

Possible “fix” for no sound on Lenovo T61+Fedora11 x64

Well, I wouldn’t really call this a fix and I don’t really know if I’ve got all facts for a decent how-too but this little manoeuvre helped me getting sound from the internal speakers on my Lenovo T61 in Fedora 11. Yah, that’s AMD64/x64 by the way.

I found out after a bit of googling that sound really is working, but only when using the head-phone jack. So i tried it out and much to my amusement it was true. This means that the sound-card has been discovered and enabled.

Anyway. Opening a terminal and running alsamixer -c0 will enable you to turn on the internal speakers.
In the mixer, step right until you get to “speaker” and you might find that it is muted by the MM above it. Press M and it will turn to 00. Now check your master volume and start enjoying the sound… i hope.
If this doesn’t work, you probably need to apply some patches and stuff found by… eh… google.

Good luck!
