One of the best practices is run Windows Azure Pack Application Pools on dedicated account. WAP has quite a lot Application Pools and changing each manually is not very comfortable. You can do bulk change using below PowerShell script (Assumption: You use the same identity for each AppPool).

### Change the variables to fit your environment
$userName = "domain\username"
$password = "password"

### Let's start the party!
Import-Module WebAdministration
$appPools = Get-ChildItem IIS:\AppPools | where { $_.Name -like "MgmtSvc-*" }
 
foreach($appPool in $appPools)
{
    $appPool.processModel.userName = $userName
    $appPool.processModel.password = $password
    $appPool.processModel.identityType = 3
    $appPool | Set-Item
    $name = $appPool.name
    Write-Host "$name updated..." -ForegroundColor Green
}
Write-Host "Done!" -ForegroundColor Yellow

Of course you can easily customize the script to other things than the WAP by changing the condition 🙂

Update Rollup 8 for System Center 2012 R2 (KB3096378) released ! This time new features and bug fixes cover below components:

Hints

  1. First test everything in your test or lab environment, before you deploy an Update Rollup in production environment!
  2. Before you deploy UR8, make sure you applied previous UR releases. You need to keep installation order of UR releases. First install previous releases, if you have not already done.
  3. Make sure you will plan right upgrade sequencing in your production environment. Before it, read this TechNet article: Upgrade Sequencing for System Center 2012 R2.
