Hello Armin,

To monitor Windows Server 2012, try with the latest System Center Monitoring Pack for Windows Server Operating System:

System Center Monitoring Pack for Windows Server Operating System
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=9296

This MP provides the fundamental monitoring basics for computers running the Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003, 2003 R2, 2008, 2008 R2 and 2012 Operating System.

Hope this helps.

Has anyone tried this MP with any luck in regards to detect and monitor Server 2012?

This MP does not allow SCE2010 to detect Server 2012 even if SCE console > Administration > Management Packs lists Server 2012 Operating System (Detect) and (Monitoring). Still shows as Server 2003.

I don't know how I did it, but I have my SCE 2010 console on the management server showing Windows Server 2012.

However, on a management workstation where just the System Center Essentials 2010 console is installed, it shows them as Windows Server 2003.

I have management pack version 6.0.6667.0 (Windows Server Operating System Library).

For those of you who want to get win 8 and server 2012 to get registeret in WSUS and SCE 2010 console.
