MaintMode on a single class

By Rikard Ronnkvist, 2008-04-04 09:17 OpsMgr, PowerShell

Didnt know that this would work…

In a project that I’m working on the customer wanted me to create a Management Pack for a couple of services, the only problem was that they wanted to restart the services during the night.
My first solution was to create a group with the computer in it and run a PowerShell script to set the computer in to maintenance mode.

Then I tested to put my own class in that group and use the same script on the class instead.

Worked like a charm :-)

The script: systemcenterforum.org/maintenance-mode-scheduled-task-for-ops-mgr-2007/

Inline tasks in SCOM

By Rikard Ronnkvist, 2008-02-01 11:22 OpsMgr

Since I can’t find any documentation on how to create inline tasks in knowledge I did a small reverse engineering on a SCOM MP.

Here is a summary of how to do it:

First you need to create a task that you can refer to. Take a note of your Task ID.

>
  ID="snowland_ServiceMonitor_ConsoleTask" Accessibility="Internal" Enabled="true" Target="snowland_ServiceMonitor_Class" Timeout="300" Remotable="true">
    >Alert>
    ID="PA" TypeID="System!System.CommandExecuter">
      >%SystemRoot%\System32\net.exe>
      >%SystemRoot%\System32>
      >START MyService>
      >20>
      >true>
    >
  >
>
 

And when you have the Task ID of your task you can create an inline task (or a link to a view or a website)

        >Resolutions>
        >Mumbo jumbo text…>
        >
                >
                        >My Task>
                        condition="Task" href="snowland_ServiceMonitor_ConsoleTask&tasktarget={$TARGET$}" uri="MOM.Console.Exe" />
                >
        >

        >
                >
                        >My View>
                        condition="View" href="snowland_ServiceMonitor_MyView&viewtarget={$TARGET$}" uri="MOM.Console.Exe" />
                >
        >

        >
                >My WebLink>
                href="https://snowland.se/" />
        >
>
 

Tip: Use Authoring Console and a XML-editor.
