Is there a simple powershell command to create groups with explicit members in SCOM from a list? Maybe a CSV file?

For Example:

Group A : "Network Devices in Location-Panama City"

Firewall 1- IP:10.xxx.xxx.xxx

Router 1 - IP:10.xxx.xxx.xxx

Switch 1- IP:10.xxx.xxx.xxx

Switch 2- IP:10.xxx.xxx.xxx

Switch 3- IP:10.xxx.xxx.xxx

I have 1,000's+ of network devices and need to assemble them in groups.

hello All,

I would like to know if there is any .exe for putting the SCOM servers in Maintenance mode.(In Future date). 

Any pointers would be great. 

I have a list of servers which would go to MM in SCOM 2012 R2 in future and the timings are random. 

Regards.

Hello all,

I am completely new to SCOM and evaluating it. I've deployed the agents and set up monitors, from what I can tell, but when a server goes offline it does not trigger any alerts and instead just changes the status to gray. I understand that this is because the heartbeat is no longer communicating, however shouldn't it be considered an alert when a server is down? Can someone help point me to what I am missing. I want to raise alerts when my servers go offline and I thought that this was the default when using agents. Thanks guys.

Hello.

Several weeks ago Health Service on our SCOM 2012 R2 UR6 began hang for some time or paused (until manual resume) every night (about 0:00).

When I remove SCCM 2012 R2 SP1 client from server, problem was solved but the problem returns after SCCM client reinstallation.

I set "NotifyOnly" parameter for CCM Eval Task to "TRUE" and update SCOM to UR7 but nothing happens.

just curious - I have a solution, but I am trying to understand what is wrong:

this first simple script works (has a fixed GUID)

$servername = myServer
$addition = "andre"
######################################################################
$mp1 = Get-SCOMManagementPack -DisplayName 'My_MP'
$o = $mp1.GetOverrides()
foreach ($ov in $o)
{
    if ($ov.parameter -eq "Arguments" -and $ov.contextinstance -eq "04e18d3e-5a73-70e2-32f4-d5333151d712")
    {
        $ov.Value = $ov.value + "," + $addition
        $ov.status = "PendingUpdate"
        $ov
        $mp1.verify()
        $mp1.Acceptchanges()
        break
    }
}

now, because I am not sure in which MP the override might be stored, I load all overrides in the management group, step thru them, and I get the windows computer object, so I have the GUID (instead of hardcode it like above)

$servername = myServer
$addition = "andre"
$MG = Get-SCOMManagementGroup -ComputerName $RMS

#get all existing overrides
$criteria = ([string]::Format("Name like '%'"))
$searchCriteria = new-object Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Configuration.MonitoringOverrideCriteria($criteria)$overrides = $MG.GetMonitoringOverrides($searchCriteria)

#now lets first find the windows computer instance for which we want to create/update the override.
$cl = Get-SCOMClass -DisplayName "windows computer"
$ci = Get-SCOMClassInstance -Class $cl | where { $_.DisplayName -eq $servername }

#let's step thru all existing overrides
foreach ($ov in $overrides)
{
    if ($ov.ContextInstance -eq $ci.id.guid 
	-and $ov.parameter -eq "Arguments")
    {
        #if we get here, it means we have found an existing override 
	# for the right computer instance and the right parameter value
        #lets first get the mp in which the override is stored
        $mon = Get-SCOMMonitor -Id  $ov.Monitor.ToString().split("=")[1]
        if ($mon.DisplayName -eq "Accounts")
        {
            #right monitor too, lets update the MP.
            $mp_ov_name = $ov.GetManagementPack().Name
            $mp1 = Get-SCOMManagementPack -Name $mp_ov_name
            $OverrideValue = $ov.value
            if (($OverrideValue.split(",")) -notcontains $addition)
            {
                $ov.Value = $ov.value + "," + $addition
                $ov.status = "PendingUpdate"
                $mp1.Verify()
                $mp1.AcceptChanges()
                break
            }
            Else
            {
                write-host "Addition is already in override"
            }
        }
    }
}

looks good I thought, when I step thru it, everything seems fine, the override is OK, it is update etc, Acceptchanges takes a while, but, the override is not updated....

the solution is:

$servername = myServer
$addition = "andre"
######################################################################
$MG = Get-SCOMManagementGroup -ComputerName $RMS

#get all existing overrides
$criteria = ([string]::Format("Name like '%'"))
$searchCriteria = new-object Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Configuration.MonitoringOverrideCriteria($criteria)$overrides = $MG.GetMonitoringOverrides($searchCriteria)

#now lets first find the windows computer instance for which we want to create/update the override.
$cl = Get-SCOMClass -DisplayName "windows computer"
$ci = Get-SCOMClassInstance -Class $cl | where { $_.DisplayName -eq $servername }

#let's step thru all existing overrides
foreach ($oo in $overrides)
{
    if ($oo.ContextInstance -eq $ci.id.guid -and $oo.parameter -eq "Arguments")
    {
        # if we get here, it means we have found an existing override for the right computer instance and the right parameter value
        $mon = Get-SCOMMonitor -Id  $oo.Monitor.ToString().split("=")[1]
        if ($mon.DisplayName -eq "_BHI Monitor Unauthorized Accounts")
        {
            #lets first get the mp in which the override is stored
            $mp_ov_name = $oo.GetManagementPack().Name
            $mp1 = Get-SCOMManagementPack -Name $mp_ov_name
		$o1 = $mp1.GetOverrides()
		foreach ($ov in $o1)
		{
			if ($ov.parameter -eq "Arguments" -and $ov.contextinstance -eq $ci.id.guid)
			{
				$OverrideValue = $ov.value
				if (($OverrideValue.split(",")) -notcontains $addition)
				{
					$ov.Value = $ov.value + "," + $addition
					$ov.status = "PendingUpdate"
					$ov
					$mp1.verify()
					$mp1.Acceptchanges()
					break
				}
				Else
				{
					write-host "Addition is already in override"
				}
			}
            }
        }
    }
}

The only explanation I can think of is that the override that I selected out of the $overrides (collection of ALL Overrides in SCOM) does not have a direct relationship with the $mp1 in the 2nd example. but... when I do a $oo.GetManagementPack(), it shows me the reference to the MP where it is stored in.....

so in the last (3rd) example, I determine the mp, load the mp, and "again" load all the overrides stored in that single mp and "again" find the override that I want to update. and now when I do $mp1.acceptchanges(), it does work OK....

but, it puzzles me, I have compared the override details, and they are identical, all values that I see are the same....
when debugging the scripts: $ov (the override) in script1, 2 and 3 seems identical I cannot spot a difference

Under Monitoring (in SCOM 2012) I had one 'Microsoft SQL Server' folder which contained my Active Alerts. This is the view I have open all day to monitor all my SQL Servers. With the addition of the SQL2014 management pack, I now have a duplicate 'Microsoft SQL Server' folder which only monitors SQL2014 servers, and my old view only monitors up to 2012.

This is extremely inconvenient as I want only one view I can keep on my screen with ALL SQL Server alerts displayed. Is there any way I can simply do this?

Hi,

I get health service heartbeat failure alert from a server occasionally and it gets resolved within a minute. Server is neither rebooted nor in hung state. There are other servers as well in the same domain and network, so it can't be a network fluctuation as well. Nothing found in operation manager logs on agent side. Only in the management server logs I can see the Entity XYZ failed to failed to heartbeat logged in and then after a minute entity XYZ is now available. Not sure how to troubleshoot this with almost no information in hand. Anyone please guide me if they had faced the same issue.

Regards,

Daya

Hi,

We have SCOM 2012 SP1. In our Pre-Prod Environment the System Center Data Access service is being stopped automatically, though we start/restart the service on both Management servers (PP1SCOM01 server, PP2SCOM01 failover server) - 2 data centers. Due to this problem, we have been getting the below error while trying to connect to SCOM Console.



As per my understanding, we need to start the Data Access, SCM, APM, SCM Config services should be running on both Management Servers. In this scenario, what needs to be done to make the Data Access Service running as expected, without any interruptions. Though we are starting, after some time getting stopped. After starting the service, still we are getting the above message while starting the SCOM Console.

Please advise asap.

Thanks & regards, Naren.

Hello, this morning I faced a strange behavior after upgrading my SCOM 2012 SP1 to SCOM 2012 R2, the upgrade was successful but when I opened the SCOM console and went to Help\About I noticed that SCOM is (Eval) version, I kept searching the whole day on how to install the license key and followed ALL the steps you can think of but I had no luck.

I noticed something else also, when I opened the Operations Manager Shell (as an administrator) I receive this error:-

'.\OperationsManager\Functions.ps1' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet,
function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or
if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (.\OperationsManager\Startup.ps1

And when I try to install the license (whether in SCOM shell or Windows Power Shell I receive this error)

Set-SCOMLicense : Specified method is not supported.
At line:1 char:1
+ Set-SCOMLicense
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (Microsoft.Syste....SetSCOMLicense:SetSCOMLicense) [Set-SCOMLicense], PSNo
   tSupportedException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ExecutionError,Microsoft.SystemCenter.OperationsManagerV10.Commands.Commands.Administrat
   ionCmdlets.SetSCOMLicense

This is really strange behavior as I installed the SCOM license key on another server before and the process went smoothly without issues.

You help is much appreciated as I really can't figure this out.

Thanks ..

ok, so I built a System Center Manager 2012 R2 Server and used the latest version of Powershell Deployment Tools to do the installation.  The configuration is 16 VM servers of which 4 are running SQL Server 2012 SP2 CU7.  Once PDT is complete, I can access Configuration Mananger, Operations Manager, VMM and Service Manager.  When I run the Windows update which updates the latest CU's for each, I get the following error in Operations Manager (Sames with Service Manager):

I found some topics about similar but the solutions did not work.  If I restore the servers back to the initial installation, everything works fine again.  The VMM server I found it was KB3074228 & KB3074548 were causing issues with installing Roll up 7 for Ops Manager Console.  I tried not updating .NET, that did not work, just tried the CU for Ops Mgr, that did not work so I am at a loss.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi 

I am trying to add 100s of servers into manually created SCOM2012 Group. I want to use power shell script to do this but looks like no scom command-lets available.

I was wondering if any of you guys have use script to populate the manually created Groups with computer and health service objects?

I will appreciate if you guys can share or give us hint on how can we do this.

Thank you

I have a sealed Microsoft Mgmt Pack, System Center Core Monitoring, that restores an alert/monitor back to a Healthy state if it detects the Event IDs 7024 or 2002 in the Operations Manager event log. I want to add the Event ID 7026 to this list, but I'm not able to add it directly because this MP is sealed.

We have an Override MP for the System Center Core Monitoring MP, but I am confused as to how I add this new Event ID in the override MP.

How can I add this new Event ID 7026 so the alert/monitor will enter a Healthy state when it is detected in the Operations Manager log?

Thank you.

Hi,

I came across with issue for one msmq server in my environment.Server is 2008 R2 Standart, I have Microsoft Message Queue 2008 R2 management pack.Server is discovered as MSMQ server but in the all queues view i do not see any queues from that server and if i open health explorer i see green empty circle (not monitored) MSMQ queue health rollup. Rest of the servers with msmq ques are discovered and there is no overrides for the monitor of MSMQ for that server.Any chance that somebody has an idea how to fix it.

Hi, 

I have a performance rule that gets some data from a database and should query from management servers. Also I want to provide high availability for this rule. Therefore I decided to target it on a custom resource pool which is defined in my MP.  

This is actually a design question. one of approaches can be this:

I created a class which inherited from "windows computers" class and hosted on my pool. My classes and relationships are something like this:

Now I can target my rule on this class.

The first question is that should I target the discovery of my class on windows computers or on my pool?

And the second one: Is this a correct approach or is there other approaches which by using them, I can provide high availability for my performance rule?

Our environment runs SCOM 2012 R2 with 3 management servers and a couple of gateways for domains without a trust.

One of our managment servers in our domain logs event 26004 every 12 minutes about one of the DHCP servers in one of the untrusted domains. The exact message:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Windows Event Log Provider is still unable to open the DhcpAdminEvents event log on computer 'server1.externaldomain.com'. The Provider has been unable to open the DhcpAdminEvents event log for 583920 seconds.

Most recent error details: The RPC server is unavailable.

One or more workflows were affected by this.

{workflow information}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There's 3 of these right after eachother, each with a different affected workflow.

Server1 is being monitored just fine via the gateway of 'externaldomain.com', but somehow the management server in our own domain tries to read the eventlog of server1. I'd suspect that this should be done by the gateway instead of the management server.

I already tried to reboot the management server and reïnstalling the client on server1 as well, with no improvement.

Hi all, how are you?

I need to customize a task called  "Computer Management" that comes embedded in almost all Management Packs , for instance the management pack "Windows Server Operating System Library" has "Computer Management" task. The "Computer Management" task runs the command  "%windir%\system32\compmgmt.msc /computer:$Target/Property[Type="Windows!Microsoft.Windows.Computer"]/NetworkName$", so It uses the operator credentials to run that command on the target server.

The problem is that I need that task to run with the predefined "Run as account", or let the operator choose which task credentials to use. I could not figure out how to update or change "Computer Management" task in order to allow the operator to choose which credentials to use for executing the task.

Please, Does someone know if is possible to customize "Computer Management" task in order to let the operator choose which credentials to use?How can I do that?Or should I create another task using the same command line in "Computer Management" task?

I appreciate any help you can give me 

We're facing an issue opening a random SQL Dashboard in SCOM 2012 R2 CU6. When logging in as a user in the'Operator' or 'Author' role no states are displayed in the dashboard. The following error is logged in the Operations Manager Eventlog:

The end-user is seeing the following screen:

Thanks in advance.
