  • Type "KB3190029-AMD64-Server.msp"
  • This will lauch Update.You will be prompted to restart your system after the update.Click yes and system will restart

  • This will update the Console.

Step3: Updating the Gateway Servers:

  • There is no update for Gateway Server in UR1.

Step4:Update the SCOM Databases:


  • First Make sure you have stopped all SCOM services on your Management server and restart the SQL Server service once
  • Now go to the upgrade Management server at below location %SystemDrive%\Program Files\System Center 2016\Operations Manager\Server\SQL Script for Update Rollups
  • Login to the SCOM DW Database Server
  • Now open a SQL management studio query window, connect it to your OperationsManagerDW database.
  • Copy the SQL Scripts "UR_Datawarehouse.sql" and execute in the Query windows. This script could fail but continue trying till it succeeds.

Step5:Manually Import the management packs:

  • The path for these is on your management server, after you have installed the “Server” update: \Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012 R2\Operations Manager\Server\Management Packs for Update Rollups
  • Below are the important Mp's
  • Microsoft.SystemCenter.Advisor.Internal.mpb
  • Microsoft.SystemCenter.OperationsManager.Library.mp
  • Microsoft.SystemCenter.Image.Library.mp
  • Microsoft.SystemCenter.Visualization.Library.mpb
  • Microsoft.SystemCenter.Advisor.mpb
  • Microsoft.SystemCenter.AlertAttachment.mpb
  • Microsoft.SystemCenter.IntelliTraceProfiling.mpb
  • Microsoft.SystemCenter.2007.mp
