During the installation of a SCOM2012 reporting server the installation unexpectedly stops working with an error message β€œSystem Center Operations Manager Setup has stopped working”. This repeatedly happened after the data reader account was entered.

The log files in %LocalAppData%\SCOM\Logs did not give any information about why the installation ended, neither did the event viewer. All prerequisites where met and common workarounds like reboots and using a dedicated SQL server for the reporting database did not solve the problem.

The problem was mitigated by installing the reporting server via command line (unattended):

SETUP /install /components:OMReporting /ManagementServer:SCOMms.domain.local /SRSInstance:SCOMrs.domain.local /DataReaderUser:DOMAIN\SVC_SCOM_DRA /DataReaderPassword:******** /SendODRReports:0 /UseMicrosoftUpdate:0 /AcceptEndUserLicenseAgreement:1

 

Tip: Don’t forget to add the /AcceptEndUserLicenseAgreement, the installation will fail without error dialog. Details are only available in the log files.
