This is an update to the page describing a solution to the “Web Console Configuration Required” message for SCOM 2012 and SCOM 2012 R2.
If you get this message on your workstations and you do not have the rights to simply run the configuration wizard it asks you to run, it has to be configured through another way.
What the configuration wizard does is set a few registry keys and add a code signing certificate (can also be done through registry). For instance a customer of mine this needs to be entered into a VDI image to make it work for most people.
At SCOM 2012 R2 UR3 a new code signing certificate was introduced which was valid until 22 July 2015. ANd now at SCOM 2012 R2 UR7 a new code signing certificate is introduced. It is now valid until somewhere in September 2016. Bit unfortunate there was a lack of overlap there.
The article I made last year SCOM 2012 Web Console Configuration Required describes the fix and how to find the registry keys. AT the bottom of the article there are updates for a registry key we found as an extra potential blocker of access to the SCOM web Console and there is another update created today for UR7. It has the registry files you need for either UR3/4/5/6 or for the UR7 now.
Good luck and enjoy!
