System Management Homepage on Windows 2012 R2 Core

[ccoho]

We just upgraded a core server to windows 2012. We are having issues with the system management homepage (it is on latest version). If I set it to WBEM, we get most of our items, but we don't get emails if something degrades (tested by pulling a network cable and a drive from my array), and yes Notifier is correctly configured.

If I switch it to SNMP, the email alerts work, but most of the items in the homepage are missing. I've created the correct SNMP traps and settings, the service is started, and all of the "Agents" services are started, but most of the items are still missing from the homepage (the important ones anyways, the status of drives, controllers, network, etc).

Does anyone have any ideas on how to either a) get those items to work properly under SNMP on 2012 or b) get email alerts to work properly under WBEM? I like knowing if a drive fails, or power supply, or ANYTHING, that I'm going to get an immediate alert to investigate.

Thanks
