Hi.

Im having some problems getting my gateways to connect to multiple management servers.

Everything is running SCOM 2012 R2

I have 2 management servers (serverA + ServerB in AD xx.local)

I have some different gateways in different domains which connecting to one (ServerA) of the management server through certificates. (this is working fine)

I now want to make redundancy so my gateways can connect to both management servers.

When I try to run the following command

$failoverMS = Get-SCOMManagementServer Name <serverB>

$gatewayMS = Get-SCOMGatewayManagementServer Name <ServerGW>

Set-SCOMParentManagementServer Gateway $gatewayMS FailoverServer $failoverMS

I get the following error:

Set-SCOMParentManagementServer : Agent <Gateway> is currently managed through Active Directory. To change the agent assignment, update the Active Directory integration configuration.

Im not sure how to move on from here and i do not want to use AD integration if possible.

Thanks.

Tommy

The following command should also have primary server listed in it
$failoverMS = Get-SCOMManagementServer Name <serverA>, <serverB>

Hi

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunaly it gives the same error.

Hi,

To change the Active Directory integration setting for an agent, please try:

1. On the agent-managed computer, in Control Panel, double-click Operations Manager Agent.
(In the category view of Control Panel in Windows Server 2008, Operations Manager Agent is in the System and Security category.)

2. On the Management Group tab, clear or select Automatically update management group assignments from AD DS.
If you select this option, on agent startup, the agent will query Active Directory for a list of management groups to which it has been assigned. Those management groups, if any, will be added to the list. If you clear this option, all management groups assigned to the agent in Active Directory will be removed from the list.

Hi.

Good idea, but the AD DS flag is allready cleared.  (and has never been set)

You can check below link

This is a long shot: SCOM 2012 R2 Gateway install adds a Control Panel applet "Microsoft Monitoring Agent", even though it will not appear configured. Make sure "Automatically update management group assignments from AD DS" is not checked.

The AD flag is allreade cleared and have never been set.

Also i still dont want to use AD integration if posible.

just simply want to specify 2 management servers for failover on my gateway wich is member of a "non trusted" domain.
