When trying to invoke a runbook in Runbook Designer I get the following error message:

 

Cannot start runbook 'RunbookName'. The specified account may be missing privileges required to  invoke a runbook. Add the account to the Orchestrator System Group to give it the required authority.

 

The solution is to add the account that you are trying to invoke the runbook with to the local group OrchestratorSystemGroup.

 

I realized this after finding this error in the System event log:

 

Source: DistributedCOM

Event ID: 10016

 

 

When googling this I found the following page:

1. dcomcnfg, expand Component Services -> Computers -> My Computer -> DCOM Config
2. Click View -> Detail -> Now you will get Application Name and Application ID in right side
3. Scroll down and find the application ID {D1D9ECD5-8094-4FB8-8D69-A3AD701FF02C} -> Right Click -> Properties and select the Security tab.

 

This is where I found out that the OrchestratorSystemGroup is added here, and that my service account need to be added to this local group.

 

Cheers!

 

 

After updating to DPM 2012 R2 the DPMDB says Agent unreachable in the Protection area in DPM. Looking in the Event Viewer - System Log, there is the following two error messages:

 

Source: DistributedCOM

Event ID: 10005

DCOM got error "1053" attempting to start the service DPMRA with arguments "Unavailable" in order to run the server: {DA6AA17A-D61C-4E9C-8CEA-DB25DEA52A95}

 

Source: Service Control Manager

Event ID: 7009

A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the DPMRA service to connect.

 

If you try to start DPMRA.exe manually in a command prompt it says that VssRequestor.dll is missing. After copying this file from another server (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\DPM\bin\VssRequestor.dll) to C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012\DPM\DPM\bin the DPMRA starts successfully.

When launching the DPM 2012 R2 update I get stuck at the first step, checking prereqs. The error message says:

 

The instance provided is not a SQL Server instance. Please provide a SQL Server instance.

 

Looking at C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012 R2\DPM\DPMLogs\DpmSetup.log, I found the following error messages:

 

[11/13/2013 10:03:06 AM] Information : Querying WMI Namespace: \\dpm01\root\Microsoft\SqlServer\ComputerManagement10 for query: Select * from SqlServiceAdvancedProperty where ServiceName='MSSQL$MSDPM2012' and PropertyName='Version'

[11/13/2013 10:03:06 AM] Information : Got Error Message: The prerequisite (SQL Server 2008) required to perform this check is missing.

As you can see the error messages states that we're asking for an invalid class when querying the wmi namespace. So we need to recompile the SQL WMI provider with the following command:

mofcomp "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof"

After doing this, the upgrade proceeds normally.
