Hi,
I am using a scheduled script to put a large number of items in maintenance mode for periods of time where we do not which to receive alerts or cause DA state changes. For these objects, the time is overnight or weekends.
The script adds all objects in a dynamic group into maintenance mode. This includes both windows and network devices.
My issue is that when an engineer manually puts an item into maintenance mode for genuine maintenance purposes, it may be overridden.
So my idea is to have another dynamic group containing all objects in maintenance mode, and make it an exclusion in the original group. Is this possible or is there a better way?
FYI The script I am using for the bulk maintenance mode is based from here:
