Microsoft recently released a Monitoring Pack for System Center Operations Manager 2012 specifically targets the Remote Access role in Windows Server 2012. With this new monitoring pack, a systems management engineer can monitor a Windows Server 2012 server with the remote access role installed for the following conditions:
DirectAccess
- Network interface connection and settings issues
- IPv6 transition protocol configuration
- DoS, spoof, and replay attack heuristics
- IPsec state
- DNS and management server configuration
- Underlying service status
- OTP-related heuristics
Remote Access and Site-to-Site VPN
- Connection failures
- Improper configuration
- Hardware device and IPsec related failures
- Monitoring of performance counters and instrumentation
This management pack leverages PowerShell cmdlets such as Get-RemoteAccess, Get-DAMultisite, and Get-RemoteAccessHealth. As such, only Windows Server 2012 is supported by this management pack. You can download the System Center Operations Manager 2012 Monitoring Pack for the Windows Server 2102 Remote Access role here.
