Office Web Apps 2013 Management Pack for Operations Manager 2012 (R2)

November 8, 2013 12:20 PM / 13 Comments / XeroX

Update 17.08.2015:

Official answer from Microsoft USA. It’s been finally decided that the Management Pack is discontinued. Disappointing.

However, feel free to use my fixed Management Pack.

 

Update 16.10.2014:

I’ve unsealed the Managemant Pack and added the missing strings. You cannot upgrade the existing one as I don’t have the signing keys. Good luck!

Update 12.02.2014:

Apologies for the delay.

It’s been finally decided that Office Web Apps Server MP will be released by the Web Apps Server team.

My team is working on getting this out the door as soon as possible, but there will be official release.

Update 18.12.2013: Our support engineer told us the development of this management pack has been discontinued for now. 🙁

In most case Microsoft offers a management pack for operations manager shortly after release within a few weeks or month.

This is not the case for Office Web Apps 2013 for Exchange/Lync/SharePoint. The Guide was released more than a year ago. As stated in the Document, Management Pack “Microsoft.OfficeWebAppsServer.mp” + “MicrosoftOfficeWebAppsServer.Config” is needed to monitor Office Web Apps Server 2013. So where to find it?

There is a link on technet forums and this is exactly the same that we received from the support engineer. You can download the management pack from the link at the end of the thread.

This is a buggy version of the management pack but it works. I will update the post when I get a release date.

Secure OfficeWebApps Farm with “FarmOU” Setting

August 23, 2013 3:19 PM / 4 Comments / XeroX

As Microsoft describes on TechNet you can prevent other OfficeWebAppsHosts from joining your Farm when the computer account isn’t located in the correct active directory OU.

http://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj219442.aspx

FarmOU Optional System.String Specifies the name of the Active Directory organizational unit (OU) that servers must be a member of to join the Office Web Apps Server farm. Use this parameter to prevent unauthorized servers (that is, servers that are not in the OU) from joining an Office Web Apps Server farm.

But how to apply this setting? As using the DN of the OU does not work you need to use the Canonical Name of the OU. If your machines are located in CONTOSO.COM/Computers/OfficeServer/SERVERNAME1 you need to use the following command:

Set-OfficeWebAppsFarm -FarmOU “Computers/OfficeServer”

To check the setting:

Get-OfficeWebAppsFarm

FarmOU should display the ldap path of the OU.

FarmOU                            : ldap://OU=OfficeServer,OU=Computers
