Overview


The Windows Server Operating System management pack consists of the following five management packs: Microsoft Windows Server Library, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Discovery, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Monitoring, Microsoft Windows Server 2003, and Microsoft Windows 2000 Server. The Microsoft Windows Server management packs monitor the performance, health, and availability of Windows Server 2008, 2008 R2, 2003, 2003 R2 and Windows 2000 Server.

By detecting, alerting on, and automatically responding to critical events and performance indicators, these management packs reduce resolution times for issues and increase the overall availability and performance of your systems running the Windows Server operating systems, thereby helping to reduce the total cost of ownership.

Feature Summary
  • Availability
    • Key Operating System Services: Required services are checked for status (for example, running, not running, or paused)
    • Storage: Logical hard drives are checked for availability, sufficient free space, and integrity of the NTFS partition.
    • Network: Network adapters are checked for connection health, name and IP address conflicts.
  • Performance
    • Processor: System processor(s) performance is checked system-wide. Processors can optionally be monitored on a per processor basis.
    • Memory: Memory consisting of physical memory and virtual memory (also known as page files) is monitored using the following performance indicators:
      • Available memory (in MB)
      • Pages per second
      • Page file percent usage
    • Disks and Partitions: Logical disks/partitions and physical disks are monitored, and performance data is collected for average disk seconds per read, disk seconds per write, and disk seconds per transfer. Monitoring is also provided for fragmentation of logical disks. Depending on which version of the operating system is being monitored, either logical or physical monitoring is enabled by default. Refer to the MP guide for more detail.
    • • Network Adapter: Network adapters are monitored for the number of bytes received per second, the number of bytes sent per second, and the total bytes per second. In addition, the health state of the network adapter is evaluated and is set to Healthy if connected and Critical if disconnected.

  • Other Software: System Center Operations Manager 2007 or later.

Instructions

To use the English version of the Exchange Server 2010 Monitoring Management Pack, you only need to download and install the English (EN) version of the Exchange Server 2010 SP1 Management Pack. The English version of the management pack includes the Exchange Server 2010 SP1 Management Pack application and the required files to use the management pack in English.

If you want to use a localized version of the management pack, you must first download and install the English version of the management pack. Then, you must download and install the language pack for your respective language. The English version of the management pack includes the Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 1 Management Pack application that is a prerequisite for all localized versions of the management pack.

For detailed information about installing and using this management pack, download and read the Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 1 Management Pack Guide. That guide is available for download on this Web page.


Changes in This Update:

The Exchange 2010 SP1 version of the Exchange 2010 Management Pack includes significant improvements beyond those included in the RTM version of the Exchange 2010 Management Pack. The following list includes some of the new features and updates:
· Capacity planning and performance reports   New reports dig deep into the performance of individual servers and provide detailed information about how much capacity is used in each site.
· SMTP and remote PowerShell availability report   The management pack now includes two new availability reports for SMTP client connections and management end points.
· New Test-SMTPConnectivity synthetic transaction   In addition to the inbound mail connectivity tasks for protocols such as Outlook Web App, Outlook, IMAP, POP, and Exchange ActiveSync, the Management Pack now includes SMTP-connectivity monitoring for outbound mail from IMAP and POP clients. For information about how to enable this feature, see Optional Configurations.
· New Test-ECPConnectivity view   Views for the Exchange Control Panel test task are now included in the monitoring tree.
· Cross-premises mail flow monitoring and reporting   The Management Pack includes new mail flow monitoring and reporting capabilities for customers who use our hosted service.
· Improved Content Indexing and Mailbox Disk Space monitoring   New scripts have been created to better monitor context indexing and mailbox disk space. These new scripts enable automatic repair of indexes and more accurately report of disk space issues.
· The ability to disable Automatic Alert Resolution in environments that include OpsMgr connectors   When you disable Automatic Alert Resolution, the Correlation Engine won't automatically resolve alerts. This lets you use your support ticketing system to manage your environment. For information about how to disable this feature, seeOptional Configurations.
· Several other updates and improvements were also added to this version of the Management Pack, including the following.
· Suppression of alerts when the alerts only occur occasionally was added to many monitors.
· Most of the event monitors in the Exchange 2010 Management Pack are automatically reset by the Correlation Engine. Automatic reset was added to those event monitors so that issues aren't missed the next time they occur. For a list of the event monitors that are not reset automatically, see Understanding Alert Correlation.
· Monitoring was added for processes that crash repeatedly.
· Additional performance monitoring was added for Outlook Web App.
· Monitoring of Active Directory access was improved.
· Monitoring of anonymous calendar sharing was added.
· Reliability of database offline alerts was improved.
· Monitoring for the database engine (ESE) was added.


Installation Notes:

  • When you install the MSI download – this is not like all our other MP’s.  This MSI actually installs the Exchange Correlation engine with no prompts or warnings.  Keep that in mind… so it is best to extract/install this MSI where you want the correlation engine to be installed!
  • My first attempts to install this on my RMS kept failing.  The problem was UAC…. this MSI doesn’t seem to invoke UAC…. so you get an “installation was interrupted” error when you try to install it.  When I opened a CMD prompt as an Administrator (elevated) and then called the MSI – it installed just fine. 
  • When you install the MP/Correlation engine – you may get an error that the correlation files cannot be updated, and a restart will be required.  Even if you stop the correlation engine service – you will be prompted for a reboot.  Therefore – plan for this update to require an outage/downtime of your RMS for a reboot (or wherever the server hosting the Exchange Correlation engine is located)

How to monitor SQL Agent jobs using the SQL Management Pack and OpsMgr

When you use Operations Manager to monitor your SQL servers using the SQL Server Management Pack, there are some options that you will need to think about up front.   
One of those areas is the SQL Agent, and SQL Agent jobs.



I will cover three conceptual areas:
  • Out of the box experience and defaults
  • SQL Agent only monitoring (monitoring all jobs at the agent level)
  • SQL Agent Job monitoring (optionally discovering and monitoring agent jobs on an individual level)

Out of the box, we don’t discover or monitor individual SQL agent jobs by default.  What we do is discover the SQL Agent object: image

By default – all we are monitoring with regard to the SQL Agent, is the SQL Agent service availability:
image

Keep in mind – on SQL clusters, we don’t monitor manual services by default.  The assumption is that if the service is clustered, and is down, the cluster MP will alert that a clustered resource is partially offline.  This keeps from having duplicate alerts about the same service availability issue.  However, if you WANT the SQL MP to alert when a clustered SQL Agent service is down – you will need to override this monitor:
image

There are also several rules that target the “SQL Agent” object, that primarily look in the Application event log for issues/errors related to the SQL Agent:
image
Notice that the “An SQL job failed to complete successfully” is disabled out of the box.   This was done to reduce out of the box noise…. as many customers have terribly monitored/maintained SQL environments and have so many jobs failing that this was almost un-actionable.  If you want to be alerted to ANY sql agent job failure of any kind – then you might consider enabling this rule via override.  I would recommend this if you aren't going to discover and monitor individual SQL agent jobs (covered later in this article)

Lastly – at the SQL Agent level – there is a monitor for alerting when SQL Agent jobs run too long.  To reduce noise, this is also disabled out of the box.
image
If you want to monitor ALL jobs run under a specific SQL Agent with the same thresholds, you should consider enabling and adjusting this monitor.  By default – the warning threshold is 60 minutes, and critical is 120 minutes.  If you want to be able to control and override individual agent jobs that need longer run-times than others, leave this disabled and configure the SQL MP to discover and monitor individual SQL agent jobs (covered later in this article)
 Ok – that covers the out of the box defaults, and SQL Agent only monitoring.  Now, what if I need to go deeper, and have the ability to override settings for individual SQL Agent jobs?  You will notice that in the view for SQL Agent Job State – there are no objects:
image
This is by design, because we don’t discover SQL Agent jobs individually out of the box.  Perhaps I have some SQL Agent jobs that I don’t want to monitor at all, and others have especially long run-times that need unique thresholds (like SQL backups or maintenance on VERY large DB’s?)  In this case – we will want to enable the discovery to discover SQL Agent jobs as discovered objects.
To enable the object discovery, go to Authoring Pane, select Object Discoveries.  In the upper right corner, select Change Scope, and clear everything, selecting on “SQL 2008 Agent Job” and “SQL Server 2005 Agent Job”:
image
These are disabled by default.  Create an override for each, “For all objects of class" and set Enabled = true.  Save these overrides to your custom “SQL Overrides” management pack.
This discovery runs every 4 hours by default, so within 4 hours you should see your SQL Agent job state view populated with your individual SQL Agent jobs.  (**Hint – to speed this process up, bounce the System Center Management service on your agents – as this will force a discovery to run on service startup)
image

Now – lets talk about what we monitor by default for discovered SQL Agent jobs.  There are a total of two monitors.  Last Run Status, and Job Duration:
image

“Last Run Status” monitor checks every 10 minutes, and will remain Yellow (Warning state) for any job whose last run was not a success.  This gives you a nice “real time” view of the unhealthy jobs that need some attention.
“Job Duration” monitor runs every 10 minutes, and looks for jobs that have exceeded a run-time threshold.  The default is 60 minutes (warning) and 120 minutes (critical).  This monitor also does not generate alerts by default.  If you want this monitor to generate alerts you must override that setting.
In the following example – I am creating an override for my SQL agent job that performs full backups, setting the thresholds higher and enabling alerting….. and saving it to my SQL Overrides management pack:

image

As you can see, this gives you SQL Agent job by job granularity.
You could easily also create groups of SQL agent jobs based on group name…. if you wanted to treat all jobs with the same or similar names the same from an override perspective.  This will additionally ease the burden of maintaining overrides using a dynamic group based on criteria of the job:

More Information

Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require you to reinstall the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be resolved. Modify the registry at your own risk.

SQL Server 2008 R2 database upgrade support

The feature for SQL Server 2008 database update support lets you upgrade a database for Operations Manager 2007 R2 to SQL Server 2008 R2. The tools for this feature are in the SupportTools folder of the update package. For more information about how to upgrade SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2008, visit the following Microsoft TechNet website:
In the following upgrade scenarios, follow the steps that are described on the "Upgrading SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2008" TechNet website:
  • SQL Reporting Services 2005 to SQL Reporting Services 2008 Service Pack 1 (SP1)
  • SQL Reporting Services 2008 Service Pack 1 (SP1) to SQL Reporting Services 2008 R2
Important If you upgraded from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2008, a version of theSRSUpgradeHelper tool is already installed. To upgrade a database to SQL Server 2008 R2, uninstall this version of the SRSUpgradeHelper tool, and then install the updated version that is included in Cumulative Update 5 for Operations Manager 2007 R2. To uninstall the previous version of the SRSUpgradeHelper tool, follow these steps:
  1. Delete the SRSUpgradeHelperInstalled registry key under the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Operations Manager\3.0\Reporting
  2. Uninstall the SRSUpgradeHelper tool by using the Add or Remove Programs feature.
  3. Install the updated version that is included in Cumulative Update 5 for Operations Manager 2007 R2.

Automatic recovery of the System Center Management service in a SQL Server failure scenario

After SQL Server goes offline, the System Center Management service of the root management server (RMS) stops responding. For example, the System Center Management service stops responding after SQL Server disconnects, restarts, or fails. To recover from this issue when SQL Server is available again, you must restart the System Center Management service. 

By default, this automatic recovery feature is disabled. The DALInitiateClearPoolSecondssetting controls when RMS drops the current connection pool and when RMS tries to reestablish an SQL connection. We recommend that you set this setting to 60 seconds or more to avoid performance issues. To configure this recommended setting, set the following values for the following HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Operations Manager\3.0\DAL subkeys:
  • "DALInitiateClearPoolSeconds" = dword:0000003c
  • "DALInitiateClearPool"= dword:00000001
Note To apply the DALInitiateClearPoolSeconds setting, restart the System Center Management service of RMS.

Issues that are resolved by Cumulative Update 5 for Operations Manager 2007 R2

SymptomsScenario
Restart of non-Operations Manager services when the agent is updated.When another application or service has inspected performance counters, that application or service may be restarted when the Operations Manager agent is updated to CU3 or to CU4.
Updated ACS reports.ACS reports were updated.
TCP Port Probe incorrectly reports negative ping latency.When you use the TCP Port Probe under certain circumstances, a negative ping latency can be reported.
MissingEvent Manual Reset Monitor does not work as expected.The MissingEvent Manual Reset monitor can return an unhealthy state even when the monitored event is detected within the time window.
Drillthrough fails because of ParameterTypeMismatch in the EnterpriseManagementChartControl.When you run Performance reporting on a localized operating system that is trying to drill through, you may receive the error "The value provided for the report parameter 'StartDate_BaseValue' is not valid for its type. (rsReportParameterTypeMisMatch)"
ACS - Event log message is truncated or corrupted in SCDW.Importing a batch of security events sometimes reports error and failed because event description data is corrupted.
UI hang that is caused by SDK locking.Occasionally the Operator console can seem to hang.
ACS Filter fails for certain wildcard queries.When filtering for headers that contain "$," the events are not collected.
Edit Schedule button is disabled with SQL 2008 R2.The Edit Schedule button in the action pane may be disabled even when the report has an associated schedule.
Web console is timing out while you open the left navigation tree.When you open the console, the navigation tree can time out after the 110-second default time-out setting.
Scheduled Reports view for Windows Server 2003 and for SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services SP3 CU9 returns "System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array."When you use Windows Server 2003 after you upgrade to CU4, a System.IndexOutOfRangeException can occur when you open the Scheduled Reports view.
Signed MPs cannot be imported when new attributes are added to existing classes.When a new attribute is added to an existing class in a new version of a sealed MP, the MP cannot be imported.
Performance data for LVM managed partitions is not available with RHEL 4.8 and later versions or with SLES 10 and later versions.When you use performance view "Logical Disk\Disk Bytes/sec Performance," all the partitions except root "/" do not show any graph/data for the rule "Disk Bytes/sec."
On Solaris or HP-UX, the service name does not show the correct value if the program was started through a symbolic link.In the Authoring workspace of the Operations console, the Add Monitoring Wizard displays an incorrect Service Name if the service was started through a symbolic link. The Service Name shows the underlying process name instead of the name of the symbolic link.
On AIX, the Operations Manager agent may crash when it is enumerating many processes.On an AIX computer that is running many processes, the scxcimprovagt process (which is part of the Operations Manager agent) may run out of memory when it enumerates all the processes and may crash with a "bad_alloc" error.

981740 System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 does not display new properties in some views after you import a management pack

Known issues for this update

  • CU4 update installation entry still exists in ARP after you upgrade to CU5

    We plann to resolve this issue in Cumulative Update 6.
  • New management packs cannot be edited in the authoring console after the Cumulative Update is installed

    When a new management pack is created after CU4 or CU5 is installed and then an attempt is made to edit the management pack in the Authoring console, the Authoring console cannot edit the management pack because it cannot find the latest version of the Microsoft.SystemCenter.Library Management Pack (build .61 for CU4 and build .81 for CU5).
  • Rollback / SDK start failure
    Cumulative Update 5 may roll back multiple times. Or, the System Center Data Access service or the System Center Management Configuration service does not restart after a rollback of Cumulative Update 5 for Operations Manager 2007 R2. Additionally, the "CAStartServices: StartService failed. Error Code: 0x8007041D" error message may be logged in the log file for the installation of the update. For more information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 
    936707 FIX: A .NET Framework 2.0 managed application that has an Authenticode signature takes longer than usual to start 

    This issue occurs because of a known .NET Framework 2.0 issue in which a certificate revocation list (CRL) response delay affects a small percentage of computers. If you encounter this issue, apply one of the following workarounds:
    • Follow the steps that are described in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article.

      Note You do not have to install hotfix 963707 if you have the .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1 (SP1) or a later version of the .NET Framework installed. 

      936707 FIX: A .NET Framework 2.0 managed application that has an Authenticode signature takes longer than usual to start 

      After you install hotfix 963707, you should change the manifest file for the System Center Management Configuration service and for the System Center Data Access service on the affected computers. This solution disables CRL checking for the specified executables permanently. To do this, use the following tags to edit the section of the Microsoft.MOM.ConfigServiceHost.exe.config and Microsoft.MOM.Sdk.ServiceHost.exe.config files. These files are stored in the OM installation directory:
      
      
      
      
      
      
        
      
      
    • Follow these steps:
      1. Follow the steps that are described in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
        922918 A service does not start, and events 7000 and 7011 are logged in Windows Server 2003
      2. Set the value of the ServicesPipeTimeout registry key to 120000.
      3. Restart the affected computer.
      4. Reapply Cumulative Update 5 for Operations Manager 2007 R2. 

        Note The Cumulative Update 5 installer may display an error or warning in the installation process. Ignore these warnings and errors by clicking to continue.
  • Restart required after ACS update
    When you apply the Audit Collection Services (ACS) update, you may have to restart the computer if an affected file is being used. Additionally, you may receive an error message that resembles the following:
    Error 2803: Dialog View did not find a record for dialog

    To resolve this issue, restart the computer that has ACS installed after you apply the ACS update.

    The HealthServiceRuntime.dll file is not updated on some Windows 2000 Server-based agent computers. This means that the resolution for the following issue is not applied:
    • The monitoring host process does not start the workflows immediately when tasks are received.

    This hotfix is not supported on Windows 2000 Server-based computers and is not addressed in upcoming cumulative updates.
  • Cumulative Update 5 agent patching failure
    If you apply Cumulative Update 3 for Operations Manager 2007 R2, the pushed agent may not display the update list correctly. This issue occurs because the agent updates in Cumulative Update 3 for Operations Manager 2007 R2 may require a restart operation and then a repair operation. If you do not restart these servers after you apply Cumulative Update 3 for Operations Manager 2007 R2, the agent updates in Cumulative Update 5 for Operations Manager 2007 R2 are not applied. However, the restart required state is set on these computers. Therefore, you have to restart these computers and then repair the agent to apply the updates in Cumulative Update 5 for Operations Manager 2007 R2.
  • Microsoft Office might be unable to edit Company Knowledge

    This issue is not related to Operations Manager cumulative updates and is introduced by an Office security hotfix. To resolve this issue, apply the following hotfix: 
    2458608 Description of the Office Word 2007 hotfix package (wordconv-x-none.msp, word-x-none.msp): December 14, 2010 

    Note Operations Manager 2007 R2 supports only the x86-based version of Microsoft Office 2010.
  • "Path" property of IIS website object might not be displayed correctly

    This issue is limited to state views. It does not affect inventory views, and it affects only those state views in which there is duplication of property names between the EnterpriseManagementObject and the class of the object that is being targeted in the state view. The issue is that the Path property of EnterpriseManagementObject collides with thePath property of the class that is being targeted (Microsoft.Windows.InternetInformationServices.WebSite). We are considering fixing this issue in a future cumulative update.

Installation information

This update must be applied to computers that host any of the following Microsoft Operations Manager servers or agents:
  • Root management server (RMS)
  • Management server
  • Gateway server
  • Operations console
  • Web console server
  • An agent that was manually installed
  • Audit Collection Services (ACS) server
To apply this cumulative update, you must use an account that has the same user rights that were used during the installation of Operations Manager.

Recommended steps for applying this cumulative update to a clustered root management server


For more information about the recommended instructions for applying this cumulative update to a clustered root management server, visit the following Microsoft website:

Manual operations that must be performed after you update the root management server and Data Warehouse

Run the SQL scripts

This update contains fixes that must be manually applied. These fixes are applied by running the \SQLUpdate\CU5_DataWarehouse.sql file against the Operations Manager data warehouse (OperationsManagerDW) and by running the \SQLUpdate\CU5_Database.sql file against the Operations Manager database (OperationsManager). 

To do this, follow these steps:
  1. Log on to the computer that hosts the Operations Manager 2007 database by using a user account that has database system administrator (SA) rights to the Operations Manager 2007 database instance. To perform the database update remotely, log on to a computer that hosts SQL Server Management Studio by using a user account that has the appropriate SA rights to the Operations Manager 2007 database.
  2. Run SQL Server Management Studio.
  3. In the Connect to Server dialog box, connect to the instance of SQL Server that hosts the Operations Manager database. The default database name is OperationsManager.
  4. Click New Query on the toolbar.
  5. From the SQL Editor toolbar, use the Available databases option to select the Operations Manager database.
  6. On the File menu, click Open, select the \SQLUpdate\CU5_Database.sql file that was extracted by the Windows installer (.msi file), and then click Open.
  7. When the file is loaded, click Execute in the SQL Editor toolbar.
  8. View the Messages pane to check whether the Transact-SQL commands ran successfully.
  9. Exit SQL Server Management Studio.
  10. For the Operations Manager data warehouse, repeat steps 1 through 8. However, connect to the instance of SQL Server that hosts the Operations Manager data warehouse, and then run the \SQLUpdate\CU5_DataWarehouse.sql file.

Import the management packs

The management packs that are supplied in the ManagementPacks folder must be manually imported by using the Import Management Packs Wizard in the Operations console. The Windows Installer packages that are released for each localized version of Operations Manager contain the appropriate localized version of the management pack. For example, the following file contains the localized version of the management pack for the Japanese localized version of Operations Manager: 
SystemCenterOperationsManager2007-R2CU5-KB2495674-X86-X64-IA64-JPN.MSI

The following updated management packs are located in the ManagementPacks folder of the package installation:
  • Microsoft.SystemCenter.DatawareHouse.Report.Library.mp
  • Microsoft.SystemCenter.WebApplication.Library.mp
  • Microsoft.SystemCenter.WSManagement.Library.mp

Update the Web.Config file on the Web Console server role computers


To make sure that all cookies that are created by the web console cannot be accessed by the client cscript, add the following configuration to the Web.Config file on the web console server: 


If the web console is configured to run under SSL, add the following configuration to make sure that all cookies are encrypted: 


Install Linux/UNIX management packs, and update Linux/UNIX agents


Cumulative Update 5 for Operations Manager 2007 R2 contains the same Linux/UNIX updates that are included in Cumulative Update 3 for Operations Manager 2007 R2. Therefore, you do not have to install the Linux/UNIX management packs and agents if you have already updated your monitored Linux/UNIX computers by using Cumulative Update 3 for Operations Manager 2007 R2. If you do not upgrade from Cumulative Update 3 for Operations Manager 2007 R2, follow these steps to monitor Linux/UNIX computers:
  1. Download and then install the updated management packs from the following Microsoft website:
  2. Import the updated management pack for each version of Linux or UNIX that you are monitoring in your environment.
  3. Use the Operations Manager 2007 R2 Discovery Wizard to rediscover the Linux and UNIX computers that you monitor. After you rediscover the computers, the agents on those computers upgrade automatically.

Updated support tools that are included in this cumulative update

The following updated file in the SupportTools folder supports the upgrade from SQL Reporting Services 2005 to SQL Reporting Services 2008 and from SQL Reporting Services 2008 to SQL Reporting Services 2008 R2:
SRSUpgradeTool.exe 

Note Use the appropriate platform version of this file instead of the file that is supplied in the SupportTools folder of the Operations Manager 2008 R2 distribution media.

Advanced installation instructions at a command prompt

Advanced installation instruction to manually update agents


With Cumulative Update 5 for Operations Manager 2007 R2, you can manually update agents without copying the full contents of the package. To deploy updates to an agent, follow these steps:
  1. Install the hotfix utility by using the instructions in the "Advanced installation instructions at a command prompt" section. By default, the files that you have to have to update the agent are found at the following location:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\System Center 2007 R2 Hotfix Utility\KB2495674
  2. Copy the appropriate MSP files to a folder of your choosing (for example, C:\temp\CU5_Agent) on each computer on which you want to manually update the agent.
  3. Run the following commands at a command prompt from the folder that contains the update files (C:\temp\CU5_Agent if you follow the suggestion here) (ex: x64 architecture and English language):
    msiexec.exe /p "C:\temp\CU5_Agent\KB2495674-x64-Agent.msp" REBOOT="ReallySuppress" 

    msiexec.exe /p "C:\temp\CU5_Agent\KB2495674-x64-ENU-Agent.msp" REBOOT="ReallySuppress"

    Note Replace ENU with the language code of the Cumulative Update 5 for Operations Manager 2007 R2 package that you downloaded. Also, if you want to do a silent install, add the /qn switch to the command line.
