  • Deleting all Monitors or Rules from a SCOM 2012/2016 Management Pack

    I’ve written a few posts now about disabling Monitors and Rules in a Management Pack…but what if you want to actually delete them? We can use PowerShell for that too. So if you have an unsealed MP and you want to delete monitors, rules or even discoveries we can use the following code… WARNING: This […]

  • Disabling a Specific Category of Rules in a SCOM 2012/2016 Management Pack

    Recently I wrote up a post about disabling Rules (and followed that up with Monitors and Discoveries)…but I  was asked if it’s possible to only disable a specific category of rules. For example you might want to disable all alerting rules or disable performance collection rules, or maybe event collection rules. Whatever your desire, yes […]

  • Disabling all Discoveries in a SCOM 2012/2016 Management Pack

    I’m not completely sure that I’ve ever needed to disable all discoveries in an MP…(some of them yes)…In most cases if I want none of the discoveries then I may as well just delete the MP. But since I was emailed the question, yes absolutely…like with my recent Rules and Monitors posts you can use that same […]

  • Disabling all Monitors in a SCOM 2012/2016 Management Pack

    A couple of days ago I wrote a quick post about disabling rules in a SCOM Management Pack. Well I figured I had better do the same thing for Monitors. Like with our rules, disabling Monitors can be done manually (yeah nah) or using PowerShell. Again we’ll use PowerShell.

  • Disabling all Rules in a SCOM 2012/2016 Management Pack

    So last night I was on a call with a customer and during that conversation the question was asked, ‘Can we disable all rules in a management pack using PowerShell or the Console?’. Well yes you can, although it’s a pretty drastic measure to disable everything…That said the task itself is pretty easy. Well, actually it’s pretty long […]

  • List all SCOM 2016 Agentless Managed Computers using PowerShell

    How can you get a list of SCOM 2016 Agentless Managed Computers using Windows PowerShell? Well actually it remains unchanged from SCOM 2012: Get-SCOMAgentlessManagedComputer Computer                   : Computer123.thescomlab.com LastModified               : 2/9/2016 10:54:49 AM Path                       : Name                       : Computer123.thescomlab.com DisplayName                : […]

  • Listing SCOM 2012/2016 Resource Pool Members

    Hi Guys, I was asked today if there’s any way that we can use Windows PowerShell to list all of the members of a SCOM Resource Pool and of course yes there is. Actually a few blogs have examples of this so I’ve checked this to run on SCOM 2016 as well as SCOM 2012. […]

  • List all Servers and their IP Addresses in SCOM 2016

    Today I was asked for a list of all Servers that we have configured in SCOM, plus the IP Addresses that it’s configured with. This is pretty easy to do and here’s how. At the time I had open the SQL Management Studio so I chose to query the Operations Manager Database directly: Use [OperationsManager] SELECT DisplayName, IPAddress […]

  • Listing Members of an AD Group

    Sometimes you just want things to be simple. Take today…a random lync message asked me to get a list of user accounts in an AD Group. Mind you, I’m the SCOM guy not the AD guy. Anyway, I thought this would be a pretty straightforward answer and here it was. Get-ADGroupMember -Identity “MY AD GROUP” -Recursive […]

  • Migrating Notifications from SCOM 2007/2012 to SCOM 2016

    A while ago I wrote a post about Migrating Notifications from SCOM 2007 to 2012. So this post is an update to that, showing how we can migrate SCOM 2007 or SCOM 2012 Notifications to SCOM 2016. The good news is just like before it’s actually a pretty simple process to migrate the existing ones.
