SCOM - Renew Certificates

There are quite a few blog posts out there that explain in detail on how to generate and install certificates on SCOM and the SCOM Agents, but rarely on the topic of renewing the SCOM and SCOM Agents certificates.

The below procedure helped me to renew my environments certificates.
Thanks to Roel Knippen for sharing the process.

SCOM 2012 no option to save or export reports to CSV files

Thanks to one of my colleagues, Ehren Schmidt, for pointing this out to me.

Running reports in SCOM is quite easy. Then you try and save/export the report and you don't get the option to save the report as an CSV file.

Here is the quick solution to your problems:

• Logon to the server where you have installed the SCOM Reporting feature.
• Locate the rsreportserver.config file and open it in notepad.
• Look for the below section under the <render> tab
• Change the value from false to true.

• Restart the reporting service.
• Re-run the report. The CSV export/save option is now available.

Hope that this post was helpful.
