How to talk to FIM/MIM Service Pogrammatically

0
0
 
You've probably told more than once that FIM/MIM Service is a WCF Service which exposures several endpoints . Then how can we connect to the WCF service programmatically? In this blog, i will take the Resource Endpoint as a starting point and demo how to invoke Get method.

Firstly, we create a Visual C# console Application and add a service reference to the create a proxy for the running FIMService. After clicking "OK", there are five default endpoints added to the configuration file App.config.

Note: you shall modify the URI according to your fim service host name.

 

 

Next, we need compose a request message by specifying the parameter. As described in the Developer reference page , a Get Request is to retrieve the object by supplying the objectID . Below is the copy of the code snippet.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.ServiceModel.Channels;
using GetResourceDemo.FIMServiceReference;
using Microsoft.ResourceManagement;
using Microsoft.ResourceManagement.WebServices;
using System.Xml;

namespace GetResourceDemo
{
   
class Program
   
{
       
static void Main(string[] args)
       
{

          
//GetAction
            const string GetRCAction ="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/transfer/Get";
           
const string RMNameSpace ="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2006/11/ResourceManagement";
          
//create a WCF resourceClient by referring the config file
           ResourceClient rc = new ResourceClient("ServiceMultipleTokenBinding_Resource"); 

          
//compose the request message
           Message request;
          
request = Message.CreateMessage(MessageVersion.Default,GetRCAction );
           
// the built-in FIM administrator's account, shared across all the systems
           UniqueIdentifier id = new UniqueIdentifier("7fb2b853-24f0-4498-9534-4e10589723c4");
          
request.Headers.Add(MessageHeader.CreateHeader("ResourceReferenceProperty",RMNameSpace, id.ToString(), false)); 

          
//invoke the get method
           using (Message responseMessage = rc.Get(request))
          
{
              
//Parse the reponse messgae
               XmlDictionaryReader fullObject = responseMessage.GetReaderAtBodyContents();
              
XmlDocument Xdoc = new XmlDocument();
              
Xdoc.Load(fullObject);

              
XmlNamespaceManager xmlNamespace = new XmlNamespaceManager(Xdoc.NameTable);
              
xmlNamespace.AddNamespace("rm", RMNameSpace);
              
XmlNodeList nodes = Xdoc.SelectSingleNode("//rm:Person", xmlNamespace).ChildNodes;
              
foreach (XmlNode node in nodes)
              
{
                  
Console.WriteLine("{0} : {1}", node.Name.ToString().Replace("rm:",""), node.InnerText.ToString());
              
}
          
}

          
Console.ReadKey();
       
}
   
}
}

Finally, build the project and run it, you’ll have all the information for the default FIM administrator. :)

Further if you don't want to build the FIM client library from scratch, I would recommend the lithnet FIM client which simplifies the interactive with FIM Service.

333 tipů pro Windows 10 (46. - 50.)

0
0

46.     Jak změnit motiv systému Windows 10?

Motivy systému Windows se objevily poprvé ve Windows 98. Jedná se o soubor, který obsahuje několik typů pozadí, barevné nastavení pracovního prostředí, někdy i zvuky, kurzory myši apod. Změnou motivu si tak můžete během několika vteřin zcela změnit pracovní prostředí dle vašeho přání. Pro změnu motivu klikněte na pracovní ploše pravým tlačítkem myši a z nabídky vyberte příkaz Přizpůsobit a v levé části příkaz Motivy. V zobrazeném okně máte kromě výchozího motivu nazvaného Windows k dispozici i další motivy. Změnu a aktivaci nového motivu provedete tak, že jednoduše kliknete na motiv, který chcete použít.
 

47.     Jak si stáhnout nové motivy pro Windows 10?

Ve standardní instalaci systému Windows 10 je kromě základního motivu k dispozici i několik dalších. Největším zdrojem motivů je ale samozřejmě Internet, kde naleznete desítky a stovky motivů rozdělených do různých kategorií.
Pro stažení nového motivu je nutné kliknout pravým tlačítkem myši na pracovní ploše počítače a z nabídky vybrat příkaz Přizpůsobit a Motivy. Windows zobrazí okno pro změnu vizuálních prvků a zobrazí dostupné motivy. Pouhým kliknutím na jeden z nabízených si můžete změnit grafické prostředí systému. Nicméně důležitý v tomto okně je odkaz Získat další motivy online. Po kliknutí na tento odkaz se otevře internetová stránka společnosti Microsoft, na které se nachází desítky motivů, které si můžete stáhnout a okamžitě začít používat.
 

48.     Jak odinstalovat motiv systému?

Pokud si do systému stáhnete nové motivy, je možné je v případě potřeby i odinstalovat. Například pokud se vám již nelíbí nebo je nepotřebujete a nechcete, aby vám zabíraly místo na disku. Stačí, když na nainstalovaný motiv kliknete pravým tlačítkem a vyberete příkaz Odstranit motiv. Odstranit motiv lze pouze u doinstalovaných motivů a ten, který chcete odstranit, nesmí být aktivní.

49.     Jak nastavit pozadí pracovní plochy?

Na pozadí pracovní plochy je možné mít libovolný obrázek. Změna obrázku na pozadí pracovní plochy je jednoduchá a lze ji provést těmito dvěma způsoby:
1. Klikněte v Průzkumníkovi na požadovaný obrázek pravým tlačítkem myši a v zobrazené nabídce klikněte na položku Nastavit jako pozadí plochy.
2. Klikněte na pracovní ploše pravým tlačítkem myši a v zobrazené nabídce klikněte na položku Přizpůsobit.  Zde si můžete zvolit jeden z předpřipravených obrázků nebo přes tlačítko Procházet zvolit svůj vlastní.

50.     Jak si rychle zobrazit kalendář?

V případě, že rychle potřebujete vědět, jaký den v týdnu byl nebo bude určité datum nebo prostě jen se chcete podívat na elektronický kalendář, stačí, když na hlavním panelu kliknete na zobrazené hodiny. Windows zobrazí kalendář nastavený na aktuální datum, nicméně je možné se kliknutím na název měsíce přepnout o úroveň výše. Dalším kliknutím se dostanete na výběr roku a dalším na výběr
desetiletí. Přehledný kalendář je vám tedy vždy velice rychle k dispozici.

Sicherheitstipps fürs Smart Home

0
0

Das intelligente, vernetzte Heim wird für immer mehr Menschen zur alltäglichen Realität. Was früher nur in Form teurer, von Elektrikern verbauter Komplettsysteme verfügbar war, ist zur von jedermann nachrüstbaren Massenware aus dem Elektrofachmarkt geworden. Mit cleveren, kleinen Geräten lassen sich heute Heizung und Licht automatisch oder aus der Ferne steuern, Markisen und Jalousien je nach Lichteinfall und Wetterbedingungen aus- und einfahren oder Türschließanlagen per Smartphone betätigen.

Je weiter die Vernetzung jedoch voranschreitet, desto größer werden auch die Sicherheitsprobleme. Denn je mehr Smart-Home-Geräte in den Wohnungen Einzug halten, desto interessantere Ziele geben sie auch für Kriminelle ab. Hinzu kommt, dass für viele Hersteller etwa von App-gesteuerten Jalousien oder Heizungssystemen das Thema Datenschutz und Datensicherheit noch Neuland ist und sie bislang nur wenig Know-how dazu aufbauen konnten. Bei manchen Systemen fehlt beispielsweise eine standardmäßige Absicherung mit Benutzernamen und Passwort oder auch eine Möglichkeit, um erkannte Sicherheitslücken per automatischem Update zu stopfen. Zudem existieren momentan keine verbindlichen Standards, die zumindest einen Minimalschutz fest vorgeben würden.

Umso interessanter sind daher die Empfehlungen, die das Land Rheinland-Pfalz in einem Verbraucherdialog zusammen mit Experten auf dem Gebiet des Verbraucher- und Datenschutzes sowie mit Vertretern der Wirtschaft und Wissenschaft erarbeitet hat. Zusammen präsentierten sie vor einigen Wochen ein Ergebnispapier mit Empfehlungen zum Verbraucher- und Datenschutz bei Smart-Home-Angeboten, das sich gleichermaßen an Verbraucher und Anbieter richtet.

Die Empfehlungen decken den gesamten Einsatz von Smart-Home-Technik ab, beginnend mit der Installation und Inbetriebnahme über die Bedienung sowie den Personenbezug und die Zweckbindung der mit Smart-Home-Lösungen erfassten Daten bis hin zur Datensparsamkeit und -sicherheit. Unter anderem wird gefordert, dass die Nutzer die Möglichkeit haben müssen, Datenflüsse aus ihrem häuslichen Bereich zu unterbinden, dass personenbezogene Daten gelöscht werden können und personenbezogene Geräte-, Verbrauchs- und Nutzungsdaten nur in verschlüsselter Form gespeichert und über verschlüsselte Verbindungen übertragen werden sollen. Ein wichtiger Punkt ist auch, dass Sicherheitsaktualisierungen der Software-Komponenten möglich sein müssen.

Leider handelt es sich bei diesem Ergebnispapier lediglich um eine Empfehlung ohne verbindliche Wirkung. Dennoch ist die Initiative, die dahintersteht, zu loben, und es bleibt zu hoffen, dass sie dazu beiträgt, die Diskussion über die Sicherheitsproblematik von Smart-Home-Technik weiter ins Bewusstsein der Öffentlichkeit zu rücken – und natürlich Anbieter zu motivieren, von Beginn an auf die Widerstandsfähigkeit ihrer Produkte zu achten.

Bis dahin gelten zwei der sonst üblichen Tipps uneingeschränkt auch fürs Smart Home:

  • Sichere Passwörter sind unabdingbar: Viele vernetzte Geräte fürs Heim lassen sich über einen Webdienst oder eine App auch von außen steuern. Alles, was einen Angreifer demnach von der Übernahme der Technik im Haushalt abhält, ist ein sicheres Passwort. Von daher gilt auch hier: Passwort-Manager bereiten nicht nur öfter verwendeten Passwörtern (Passwort-Recycling) ein Ende. Sie erzeugen auch lange, zufällig zusammengewürfelte Zeichenketten, die im Falle eines Falles schwer zu erraten sind für einen Angreifer.
  • Software-Updates sind ein Muss: Firmware spielt im vernetzten Zuhause eine entscheidende Rolle - wie auch sonst im digitalen Leben. Entsprechend regelmäßig muss daher geprüft werden, ob es für die diversen Gerätschaften Firmware-Upgrades gibt. Diese bringen in aller Regel wichtige Sicherheitsupdates mit und nicht nur ein paar neue Funktionen.

Gastbeitrag von Michael Kranawetter, National Security Officer (NSO) bei Microsoft in Deutschland. In seinem eigenen Blog veröffentlicht Michael alles Wissenswerte rund um Schwachstellen in Microsoft-Produkten und die veröffentlichten Softwareupdates.

(Cloud) Tip of the Day: Customize SSPR for federated users

0
0

Today’s Tip…

I ran across this frequently asked questions blog post: http://blogs.technet.com/b/ad/archive/2015/12/11/azuread-mailbag-self-service-password-reset.aspx and I wanted to point out this great question…

Question: I love the SSPR functionality but my users authenticate with AD FS. Is there a way I can leverage SSPR with ADFS?

Answer: Absolutely! It only takes three steps using AD FS 2012 R2 web theme customization to add a nice "Can't access your account?" link in the sign-in page like below:

clip_image001

Step 1: Create and export the AD FS Web Theme

Use Windows PowerShell to create a new AD FS web theme from the current one and to export its different resources to your local disk. We will use this new theme to add the link directing users to the password reset page. Just type in the highlighted commands: "New-ADFSWebTheme -Name ADFSAndSSPRFun -SourceName default". "Export-ADFSWebTheme -Name ADFSAndSSPRFun -DirectoryPath C:\customization"

image

After this step, all the images, CSS, scripts, and other resources will be available in the local directory you specified (in this example c:\Customization). The folder structure should look like this:

Step 2: Tweak onload.js to add the link

Edit the onload.js file, (located under the "script" folder in the root directory you exported to in step 1) and add this little script snippet at the end. This will add the link at the end of the page:

image

Step 3: Upload the new content and switch to the new theme

Finally, use Windows PowerShell to upload our modified onload.js file from step 2, in the theme we created in step 1.

Once the theme is updated, we'll switch AD FS to use the new theme.

Set-AdfsWebTheme -TargetName ADFSAndSSPRFun -AdditionalFileResource @{Uri='/adfs/portal/script/onload.js';path="c:\customization\script\onload.js"}

Set-AdfsWebConfig -ActiveThemeName ADFSAndSSPRFun

image

And that's it. Now your users easily access the Self Service Password Reset capabilities.

Exchange Server 2007: T-1 year and counting

0
0

Today marks the start of the one-year countdown before Exchange Server 2007 reaches the end of extended support. If Exchange Server 2007 is still part of your messaging infrastructure, it’s not too early to start planning an update.

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 9+ years since we released CCR, LCR and SCR. These technologies of course laid the ground work for the Database Availability groups we’ve relied upon since Exchange Server 2010. Exchange Server 2007 also marked the start of the transition to building Exchange Server on .Net Frameworks as well. We have continued that investment and the .Net Frameworks is now the foundation of all critical Exchange processes in Exchange Server 2013, 2016 and Office 365. PowerShell, also new to Exchange Server 2007, is even more prevalent in current versions of Exchange and is the de facto management tool for modern Exchange Servers.

As revolutionary as Exchange Server 2007 was at the time, our latest versions of Exchange Server and Office 365 have even more to offer. Customers running Exchange Server 2007 have the option to upgrade via mailbox move to Exchange Server 2010, 2013 or migrate directly to Office 365. Customers wanting to migrate to our latest version of Exchange Server, Exchange Server 2016, will need to first decrement Exchange Server 2007. Customers wanting to maximize their on-premises server investment should strongly consider migrating to Exchange Server 2016 as Exchange Server 2013 is already three years into its own 10-year lifecycle.

Below are links which you may find helpful to start planning your migration off of Exchange Server 2007 and be on your way to experiencing the latest capabilities of Exchange Server.

SQL Server Service Broker. Диагностика и решение сетевых проблем.

0
0

В прошлый раз мы с вами разобрались с тем, каким образом устроены внутренние механизмы SQL Server Service Broker-а (http://blogs.technet.com/b/sqlruteam/archive/2016/04/07/sqlserver_2d00_service_2d00_broker_2d00_troubleshooting_2d00_overview.aspx). С этого блога начинаем знакомство с проблемами, которые могут возникнуть с брокером и методами их решения.

Далее мы обратим свое внимание на сетевые проблемы, как наиболее часто встречающиеся при первоначальном развертывании и при эксплуатации системы.

Какие виды ошибок сетевого доступа, чаше всего возникают при эксплуатации сервис-брокера

1. Общие сетевые проблемы характерные для любой установки SQL Server. 

2. Отсутствие точек подключения (Endpoint).

3. Точки подключения переведены в режим останова (STOPPED) или неправильно настроены.

4. Доступ к точкам подключения закрыт межсетевым экраном.

Прежде чем приступить к решению специфических сетевых проблем необходимо убедиться, что общие сетевые проблемы отсутствуют. Общесетевые проблемы связаны с ошибками при настройке сетевой инфраструктуры и не относятся к тематике данного блога. Поэтому здесь даны лишь общие рекомендации 

1. Убедиться в доступности удаленного хоста командой ping host_name, а если ping host_name не проходит, то выполнить ping по IP-адресу, и далее разбираться с системой разрешения имен.  

2. Убедиться в доступности удаленного SQL Server с помощью команды SQLCMD -E -Sserver. Если это подключение невозможно, то необходимо разбираться с сетевыми соединениями на SQL Server, доступностью портов и работой SQL Browser.


После решения общих сетевых проблем (если это не привело к положительному результату и сервис-брокер по прежнему не работает) можно переключиться на решение специфических проблем сервис-брокера.

Отсутствие точек подключения (Endpoint)

 Необходимо убедиться, что точки подключения для Service Broker-а созданы, для этого необходимо выполнить команды.

use InstInitiatorDB;
GO
select* fromsys.service_broker_endpoints;
GO
select* fromsys.endpoints where name ='InstInitiatorEndpoint';

Обратите внимание, что первая команда выполняется в контексте базы, на которой настроен сервис брокер.

Точки подключения переведены в режим останова (STOPPED) или неправильно настроены 

Если одна из точек остановлена (или некорректно настроена), то при попытке соединения с ней возникнет ошибка как показано ниже.


Такая же ошибка отображается и в трассах SQL Profiler. Как видно из трасс, SQL Server (не смотря на наличие ошибки) продолжает свои попытки установить соединение на точку подключения удаленного сервера.


При наличии подобной ошибки рекомендуется убедиться в доступности порта удаленной точки подключения. Как видно в данном случае соединение к порту не возможно.

После этого можно проверить"слушает" ли удаленный сервер порт номер 4022 (в данном случае это номер порта для Service Broker-а). Здесь  показано как мы выгружаем в файл ports.txtданные о том, какой из процессов "слушает" какой порт.


После решения данной сетевой проблемы и восстановления соединения, сообщения будут переданы автоматически  (См. последние 5 строк трассы).

  

Справедливости ради необходимо сказать, что с помощью утилиты ssbdiagnose.exe мы бы добились того же результата значительно быстрее.

  

 Доступ к точкам подключения закрыт межсетевым экраном.

Еще одной наиболее вероятной проблемой может быть закрытие портов межсетевыми экранами. Это более чем возможно, и потому еще, что для сервис-брокера могут использоваться нестандартные номера портов. 

Последовательность решения здесь принципиально не отличается от вышеописанной, и, более того, как и в предыдущем случае, утилита ssbdiagnose.exe оказывается на высоте, давая нужный результат сразу.


В следующих статьях мы продолжим рассмотрение возможных причин некорректной работы SQL Server Service Broker.

Azure Recovery Services in CSP: Site Recovery

0
0

As I've already mentioned in my previous post, that Azure Backup and Azure Site Recovery functionality become available in Azure CSP. Previous post was related to Azure Backup, and today I'll talk about Azure Site Recovery.

Azure Site Recovery (ASR) is a cloud service that provides management and orchestration for disaster recovery scenarios.

Here are details regarding ASR pricing:

  1. You are charged for every protected instance (VM) - ~$16 for VM, replicated to non-Azure site (customer's backup DC or service provider DC) and ~$54 for VM, replicated to Azure.
  2. If you use replication or VMs to Azure, then you also will be charged for consumed storage and storage transactions. ASR uses Page blobs on Geo-redundant Storage Accounts (GRS).I recommend to use storage pricing calculator.
  3. If a failover occurred and protected VMs in Azure become active, then you also will be charged for consumed Compute resources. In this scenario replication traffic direction will be opposite - from Azure DC to customer's DC. It means that you also will be charged for outbound network traffic.

Available Azure Site Recovery scenarios in CSP

ASR in Azure CSP is a little bit different from ASR in traditional subscriptions. First of all, there is no Backup Vault and Site Recovery Vault anymore. Now there is only one vault called "Recovery Services Vault", which combines Backup and Replication functions.

Here are ASR Scenarios, currently available in Azure CSP:

  1. From my site to Azure #1: VMM
    Replicates Hyper-V VMs managed my VMM to Azure using Hyper-V Replica
  2. From my site to Azure #2: Standalone Hyper-V Hosts
    Replicates Hyper-V VMs to Azure using Hyper-V Replica, without VMM.
  3. From my site to Azure #3: vCenter
    Replicates vSphere VMs to Azure on vCenter-managed hosts using Configuration server (former InMage Scout).
  4. From my site to Azure #4: Physical Machines
    Also former InMage based scenario. Simillar to scenario #3, but doesn't use vCenter. In fact - this scenario allows you to replicate any supported Windows Server or Linux server to Azure - no matter is it a VM on KVM or non-virtualized server. Universal scenario.
  5. From my site to another site: VMM
    Replicates Hyper-V VMs from primary VMM-managed site to secondary VMM-managed site using Hyper-V Replica.

 There are scenarios, that are available in traditional Azure subscriptions, that are not available via Azure CSP (yet?):
1. Between two on-premises VMM sites with SAN Array Replication
Although this scenario is very similar to scenario #5, I assume that you won't be able to configure source and target storage array mapping in the current UI on newAzure portal. I mean this button from the old portal:

Anyway - I don't have any supported storage arrays in the lab, so I can't check it by myself. If you'll be to check it - please, leave information in the comment.

2. Between two on-premises VMWare sites
This scenario allows you to install InMage Scout solution in 2 different VMWare sites and configure replication of VMs and disaster recovery. InMage was acquired by Microsoft in 2014, so currently this solution is licensed via Azure Site Recovery subscription, using the pricing model provided above. But the overall installation and management experience of InMage Scout is very different from other ASR scenarios. Because of that, I suppose, this scenario wasn't migrated to the new Azure Portal.

Also this scenario covers physical servers in one site to VMWare VMs in a backup site disaster recovery. More details about this scenario is available here.

Disaster Recovery to Azure

For all Disaster Recovery scenarios to Azure location, you must use a Storage Account to store replicated VMs data. On the Azure Portal click +New -> Data & Storage -> Storage Account. Specify a Storage Account name and choose:

  • Deployment mode = Resource Manager (classic non-ARM storage account won't fly)
  • Performance = Standard (we don't need SSD storage here)
  • Replication = Geo-redundant Storage (GRS) - because ASR doesn't support LRS storage
  • Choose Subscription and Resource Group where your Recovery Services vault is stored
  • Choose the preferred location. When a disaster will occur, VMs will be launched in this geo.

Also you need to create at least one Virtual Network in Azure region that you will use for DR.

There are some requirements for this scenario that you must remember:

  1. Hyper-V hosts must run Windows Server 2012 R2.
  2. Guest OS in the VM must be supported in Azure, it must be 64-bit.
  3. VMs must be highly available (= run on top of Hyper-V cluster).
  4. Max virtual disk size is limited by 1023Gb, this is the current limitation for Azure VMs.
  5. iSCSI, SharedVHDX and FC-attached disks are not supported.
  6. VHDX is supported. Although VHDX isn't currently supported in Azure, Site Recovery automatically converts VHDX to VHD when you fail over to Azure.
  7. VMs with multiple network adapters are now supported.
  8. Generation 2 VMs are supported only if they run Windows Server 2012 R2. Linux on Gen2 VMs is not supported. Also generation 2 virtual machine with OS disk type of Basic Disk which includes 1 or 2 Data volumes with disk format as VHDX which is less than 300GB is supported.

From Hyper-V to Azure without VMM

This scenario allows you to replicate tenant VMs that run on clustered Hyper-V hosts in customer or service provider datacenter (main DC). If a main DC will fail, then ASR will manage the disaster recovery process and launch all protected in a specified Azure datacenter. This is the simplest scenario in terms of deployment. Read the full documentation about this scenario here.

Go to "Site Recovery" menu in Recovery Vault Settings and select "From my site to Azure" and "Standalone Hyper-V hosts" scenario.

Create a new Hyper-V Site:

Then download Vault Credentials for this site:

 

Download and install Azure Site Recovery Provider (not Agent!) on all Hyper-V hosts that you wish to protect. Use the vault credentials that you've downloaded from Azure portal during the installation process. After that, these Hyper-V hosts will appear on Azure Portal.

Create a Replication Policy:

Associate the Replication Policy with this Hyper-V Site:

OK, configuration step is done. Now we need to add replication for specific Hyper-V VMs. Click +Replicate button and select a Hyper-V Site that we've just created. Choose Resource Manager deployment model (because Classic is not available in CSP).

On the next step you'll see all VMs on all Hyper-V hosts that were found in this site. Choose the VMs that you wish to replicate to Azure.

Specify OS type (Windows or Linux) and select a storage account:

 

And choose the replication policy:

 

That's all. Now we can go to "Replicated Items" menu, where we'll see all the replicated VMs. You can check the status of initial replication, which can take some time.

As you see, Azure automatically detects the most appropriate size for this VM. Don't forget to select a desired vNet in Azure, which will be used after the failover:

  

When everything is done, try to launch a test failover:

From Hyper-V to Azure with VMM

This scenario allows you replicate tenant VMs that run on Hyper-V hosts, managed by VMM 2012 R2, to any Azure location. Also it has integration with Azure Pack. If a main DC (customer's DC or service provider's DC) will fail, then ASR will manage the disaster recovery process and launch all VMs, that were assigned to a protected VMM cloud, in a specified Azure datacenter. Read the documentation regarding this scenario here. It covers classic non-ARM ASR functionality, but the overall approach is the same. Also read this article.

Download the Vault Credentials:

Download and install Azure Site Recovery Provider on the VMM server. If you have a clustered VMM installation, then install ASR Provider on the active cluster node, and install it on all passive nodes after that.

Important note - ASR Provider configuration is applied to a whole VMM environment. It means that you can't use different recovery vaults for different clouds/VMs. So if a service provider wants to use Azure as a backup datacenter, he'll need to use the same Azure subscription to enable ASR for different tenants.

Download and install Azure Site Recovery Agent (not Provider!) on all Hyper-V hosts that a part of a protected Cloud in VMM. All VMs are being replicated to Azure using Hyper-V Replica functionality, so no agents need to be installed inside a VM.

OK, after that your VMM server (or cluster) will appear on the Azure Portal. Create a replication policy, choose VMM clouds that you wish to protect and configure Network Mapping.

Then you need to enable replication for all existing VMs in the protected cloud that you wish to replicate to Azure by clicking "Enable Hyper-V recovery manager protection":

 

Also you can enable replication for all new VMs by modifying the template or enabling the replication manually during the VM creation:

If you use Azure Pack on the main site, that you can enable replication for VMs by clicking "Enable protection" option in the Plan settings. After that all the VMs in this plan will be replicated to Azure using ASR.

Also you can enable VM replication on Azure Portal:

After all these steps, try to make a test failover VMM cloud to Azure using the procedure, described in the previous scenario.

From any server to Azure

This scenario is called "From my site to Azure: Physical Machines (not virtualized)" in the UI. But in fact you can use it to replicate any Windows Server or supported Linux to Azure, no matter is it a physical server or Hyper-V/VMWare virtual machine. Read the documentation for this scenario here.

This scenario is agent-based, so an agent need to be installed on every VM that you want to replicate (but it can be installed automatically). This is different from Hyper-V/VMM scenarios described above, where the replication is provided on a host level using Hyper-V Replica functionality.

Go to "Site Recovery" menu in settings and choose "From my site to Azure" and "Physical machines (not virtualized)" scenario.

You need to add new Configuration server in your On-Premise environment. This is a re-designed InMage Scout server, which combines former Process Server and Master Target Server roles of Scout (btw, you still can install them manually and add via Azure Portal).

Download Vault Credentials from this page:

Deploy a new VM with Windows Server 2012 R2 in the site, where you want to use replication to Azure. In my case it is a service provider environment, managed by Azure Pack. Logon to this VM as an administrator. Download and launch Azure Site Recovery Unified Setup:

Choose "No", because we don't plan to protect VMWare VMs in this case:

Use your Vault Credentials file:

 

And wait until the installation will complete:

After that Microsoft Azure Site Recovery Configuration Server wizard will launch. Click "Add Account" and specify a domain user, who have admin credentials on servers, that you with to replicate to Azure. You can change this later by launching this wizard using C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Azure Site Recovery\Home\svsystems\bin\cspsconfigtool.exe.

If you plan to replicate Linux servers, that you'll need to add a separate account with root access on your Linux machines.

Then download and install the latest version of Azure Site Recovery Provider (current ASR Provider version, included in Configuration server distributive, was outdated). 

Configuration Server will appear on Azure Portal just after the installation:

 

Create new Replication Policy. Enable "Multi-VM consistency", to be able to replicate servers in groups. Replication across the group members will be consistent (e.g. several domain controllers).

 

OK, configuration is completed. Now we need to add protected servers and configure their replication to Azure. Prepare Windows Server and Linux machined like is described in the documentation.

After that, go to "Replicated Items" and click "+Replicate".

Add servers that you wish to replicate. That must be accessible via LAN from the Configuration Server.

  

Wait until the specified servers will be discovered by Configuration Server. Enable "Replicate physical machines together in a replication group" to use replication policies with "Multi-VM consistency" enabled.

Choose a replication policy:

 

After that Configuration Server will push a replication agent installation on the specified servers. Agent will check if all the requirements are met and start the initial replication.

When the initial replication will be completed, try to launch test failover to check if everything is OK.

From VMWare to Azure

This scenario allows you to replicate VMWare vSphere VMs, hosted in On-Premise environment (customer or service provider datacenter) to Azure. Very similar to previous scenario. Documentation is the same, it is available here.

Go to "Site Recovery" menu in settings and choose "From my site to Azure" and "vCenter" scenario.

 

Now you'll need to add new Configuration server in your On-Premise environment (if you didn't install it in previous scenario). This is a re-designed InMage Scout server, which combines former Process Server and Master Target Server roles of Scout (btw, you still can install them manually and add via Azure Portal).

Download Vault Credentials from this page:

 

Deploy a new vSphere VM with Windows Server 2012 R2 in the site, where you want to use replication to Azure. Logon to this VM as an administrator. Install VMWare PowerCLI 6.0. Then install Download and launch Azure Site Recovery Unified Setup:

 

Use your Vault Credentials file:

 

And wait until the installation will complete:

 

Then Microsoft Azure Site Recovery Configuration Server wizard will launch. Click "Add Account" and specify a domain user, who have admin credentials on servers, that you with to replicate to Azure. Also add another account that has access to vCenter server. You can change this later by launching this wizard using C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Azure Site Recovery\Home\svsystems\bin\cspsconfigtool.exe. If you plan to replicate Linux servers, that you'll need to add a separate account with root access on your Linux machines.

After that download and install the latest version of Azure Site Recovery Provider (current ASR Provider version, included in Configuration server distributive, was outdated).

Configuration Server will appear on Azure Portal just after the installation:

 

On the next step you need to add vCenter to the Configuration Server. I think that there is a bug on this step, because in my case UI can't load the available Configuration Server, it can show this message forever:

 

As a workaround, go back to step 2, choose the available Configuration Server and click "+vCenter" button.

 

Create new Replication Policy. Enable "Multi-VM consistency", to be able to replicate servers in groups. Replication across the group members will be consistent (e.g. several domain controllers).

 

OK, configuration is completed. Now we need to add protected servers and configure their replication to Azure. The procedure is similar to the previous scenario. When the initial replication will be completed, try to launch test failover to check if everything is OK.

Disaster Recovery across two sites

As I already mentioned before, currently ASR supports only one site to site scenario - VMM to VMM. Documentation regarding this scenario is available here. In this scenario there are 2 On-Premise sites - main datacenter and backup datacenter. Any of them can be a customer datacenter or a service provider datacenter. ASR manages the disaster recovery processes, but a replication traffic goes directly between Hyper-V hosts using Hyper-V Replica functionality. You can use this scenario to offer DisasterRecovery-as-a-Service in Azure Pack.

To configure this scenario, go to "Site Recovery" menu in Recovery Services vault Settings and choose scenario "From my site to another site":

On the next step you need to add VMM server (or several VMM servers in a cluster) to ASR. Download the vault registration key:

Download and install Azure Site Recovery Provider on VMM servers in both sites. If you have a clustered VMM installation, then install ASR Provider on the active cluster node, and install it on all passive nodes after that.

Important note - ASR Provider configuration is applied to a whole VMM environment. It means that you can't use different recovery vaults for different clouds/VMs. So if a service provider wants to provide "Backup Datacenter" service to a customer and replicates all the VMs from customer DC to his DC, he needs to use the same Azure subscription with the same Recovery Services vault for different tenants.

Download and install Azure Site Recovery Agent (not Provider!) on all Hyper-V hosts that a part of a protected Cloud in VMM (in main on in backup DC). All VMs are being replicated to a backup DC using Hyper-V Replica functionality, so no agents need to be installed inside a VM.

OK, after that your VMM servers will appear on the Azure Portal. Create a replication policy:

Then choose VMM clouds in main and backup datacenter:

Last step in the configuration wizard - map virtual networks in Main DC and Backup DC. This step is optional, but very recommended.

Then you need to enable replication for all existing VMs in the protected cloud that you wish to replicate to the backup site by clicking "Enable Hyper-V recovery manager protection":

Also you can enable replication for all new VMs by modifying the template or enabling the replication manually during the VM creation:

If you use Azure Pack on the main site, that you can enable replication for VMs by clicking "Enable protection" option in the Plan settings. After that all the VMs in this plan will be replicated to Azure using ASR.

Also you can enable VM replication on Azure Portal:

After all these steps, try to make a test failover VMM cloud to the backup site and check if everything is working right.

ASR Recovery Plans

OK, now when you've deployed, configured and tested ASR functionality for disaster recovery of Hyper-V VMs, vSphere VMs and physical servers from your site to Azure, or from your main datacenter to your secondary datacenter, it's time to feel the true power that ASR gives you with a functionality called "Recovery Plans".

Recovery Plans allow you to configure all the steps that can be needed during disaster recovery failover situations. For example, re-configure network load balancer or change Traffic Manager configuration when a disaster occurs. To create a new recovery plan, go to Recovery Services vault settings and click "+Recovery Plan":

Then you can configure steps for a failover process. You can add your own actions to the process. There are 2 types of actions: Azure Automation Scripts and Manual actions. Azure Automation Scripts are powerful, you can read about some ASR examples here.

But unfortunately, Azure Automation is not yet available in Azure CSP. I hope it will be changes soon.

Manual actions are instructions that you or your colleague should do during the failover. This is a simple text, that guide you through the whole process when a disaster will occur. No so exciting as Azure Automation Scripts though.

OK, that's all for today. Check Azure Site Recovery by yourselves. It is a great cloud service with a great value, and it's great that it became available via Azure CSP. Let's see how Microsoft CSP Partner will use it to provide Disaster Recovery services to their customers.
