How to Audit and Alert Server Restarts with SCOM 2019 (2012/16)
Often IT admins
suffer from small to big outages due to unscheduled patches, failures, power, or someone mistakenly restarting a server in the middle of the workday without notifying anyone. I've created
this "How to Guide" to help you set up this in your SCOM environment.
- On your SCOM Console,
navigate to authoring and create a new Rule
- Fill in the Rule Name and
Description, select Rule Category (Alert), rule Target (Windows Computer)
and make sure Rule is enabled is checked.
- Event Log Type System
- Build Event Expression insert
Event ID and Source
- Insert values where Event ID
= 1074 and Event Source = User32.
- Set Alert Priority and Severity to fit your needs then Finish and Close
- Overview of your recently
configured rule on the Squared Up HTML5 Console
That's it, you will
now start tracking those restarts.

Configuring Auto-Shutdown on your Azure Virtual Machines
Configuring
Auto-Shutdown on your Azure Virtual Machines
The auto-shutdown
feature is definitely one of those extremely helpful ones as it provides a
simple interface to configure those VM's you might not want to pay the extra cost
when they are not being used. Having a function like this will certainly reduce
cost and help better manage your cloud infrastructure. This feature also allows
you to enable notifications 15 minutes before the auto-shutdown will occur so
you can postpone or even skip the Virtual Machine. See the step by step below
on how you can get started with the Auto-shutdown feature.
Step
by Step
- On the Azure Portal go to your VM blade and select the Virtual Machine.
- Navigate to Schedule, select Auto-Shutdown under the Operations Section and click On to enable.
- Schedule Shutdown on the preferred Time and Time Zone.
- Send notification if needed and specify the email address.
- Review and then Save.
- This is the email that you will receive when the scheduled Auto-shutdown is about to take place.
Thank you for
reading, have a nice day!
