New Version: Active Directory Domain Services Management Pack for System Center
Another new version of MP is out. According to the documentation this new version was prepared in December 2012 but released in January 2013. Here are the changes taken directly from the documentation:
Fixes
Impact
Product knowledge improvements
· Client Monitoring alerts identify problematic domain controllers in the description.
· Interdomain trust alert identifies which trust is broken in the alert description.
· More specific action recommendations added to alert for “Could not determine FSMO role holder” and alert for “domain Controller’s Ops Master is inconsistent.”
· Knowledge Base article information added to alert for “The Active Directory database is corrupt.”
· Knowledge Base article information added to alert for “Two replication partners have an inconsistent view of the FSMO role holders.”
· Some rules with names that begin “Client Side script…“ but were not actually executed by client-side monitors were renamed.
· More specific action recommendation added to description for Event ID 1000.
Excessive alert fixes
· A duplicate alert that appears when a computer authentication fails was removed.
· Repetitive alerts for UserEnv and Netlogon were replaced with a single alert that includes a count of the number of occurrences.
· The alert for the number of allowable replication partners was increased from 100 to the maximum number of replication connections.
· The alert of FSMO role holder availability was refined so that it is issued less frequently in cases where operations master role holder is temporarily unavailable.
· Active Directory processor overload monitor was removed because it duplicates an existing monitor in the operating system management pack.
· Duplicate alerts for KDC errors and trust verification failures were removed.
· Informational alert was disabled for rule “The default security settings for the NTFS file systems have not been applied to Active Directory directory folders.”
Script error fixes
Multiple script errors were fixed to improve Active Directory site topology discovery, DNS verification, operation master role discovery, and other improvements.
Rule error fixes
Multiple rule errors were fixed to improve error handling, event logging, and server state reporting.

Update Rollup 1 for System Center 2012 Service Pack 1
Yes it is true. The freshly released Service Pack 1 of System Center 2012 has update rollup. Here are the fixes:
App Controller (KB2790935)
Issue 1
Copying a .vhd file between Windows Azure storage accounts may be unsuccessful, and you receive a "Retrieved data is complete" warning message. This issue occurs if the .vhd file already exists on the destination or if the .vhd file is mapped to an existing virtual machine.
Issue 2
The import of Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) library server certificates may be unsuccessful for VMM library servers that are clustered.
Data Protection Manager (KB2791508)
Issue 1
Client backups fail when there is a case difference between the client computer name on the computer and the client computer name that is stored in Active Directory.
Operations Manager (KB2784734)
Issue 1
Agentless Exception Monitoring (AEM) in Operations Manager may provoke an increase in reporting threads and choke points.
Issue 2
After the Alert Attachment Management Pack (Microsoft.SystemCenter.AlertAttachment.mpb) is imported, you create a dashboard that contains an alert widget. When you click an alert, the Operations Manager console may crash.
Issue 3
When a Windows PowerShell module uses the Monitoringhost.exe process on an x86-based client that is running Windows 8, more than 800 megabytes (MB) of memory may be consumed.
Issue 4
After an application domain is created, adding another application domain may be unsuccessful.
Operations Manager – UNIX and Linux Monitoring (Management Pack Update)
Issue 1
When multiple process monitors are used to target the same computer or group, processes may incorrectly monitor some template instances. Additionally, problems with the monitored processes may not be detected. This issue occurs when each process monitor uses the same name as the process even though different argument filters are used in each process monitor.
Note After the updated Microsoft.Unix.Process.Library.mpb file is imported, all existing Process Template instances must be edited and saved for the fixed behavior to take effect.
Service Provider Foundation (KB2785476)
Issue 1
The OperatingSystemId property on a virtual hard disk (VHD) object is always set to NULL.
Issue 2
Virtual machine usage metrics are not aggregated at hourly intervals and are missing basic usage metrics such as network sent and receive I/O operations per second (IOPS).
Virtual Machine Manager (KB2792925 – Console; KB2792926 – VMM Server)
Issue 1
When a logical unit number (LUN) is unmasked on an iSCSI array, the VMM service may crash.
Issue 2
When a node is put in maintenance mode, virtual machines in the cluster change to a status of "Unsupported Cluster Configuration."
Issue 3
When an add-in that uses multiple DLL files is imported into the VMM console, the add-in is not imported. Additionally, you receive the following error message:
Add-in cannot be installed
Issue 4
When an add-in is imported into the VMM console on a server that is running Windows Server 2008 R2, the add-in is not imported.
