Modifying Explicit Group Membership in SCOM 2012 with PowerShell

This is a continuation of a Data Center Automation series of posts that I have been working on with Anders Bengtsson. Here are the first seven posts in this series:

Creating Management Packs in SCOM 2012 with PowerShell
Creating Performance Collection Rules in SCOM 2012 with PowerShell
Creating Event Based Alerting Rules in SCOM 2012 with PowerShell
Enabling or Disabling Workflows in SCOM 2012 with PowerShell
Deleting Workflows in SCOM 2012 with PowerShell
Creating Groups in SCOM 2012 with PowerShell
Adding References to MPs in SCOM 2012 with PowerShell

*Update v2.0*

Fixed…

  • Group membership being modified but not updating during GroupCalc
  • When all GUIDs are removed from a group it will not save properly
  • When all Membership rules are removed from a group it will not save properly

Improved…

  • XML handling
  • Error handling
  • Script output
  • Reference handling

Added support for…

  • Computer groups
  • Multiple membership rules
  • New management packs
  • New groups
  • Excluded instances (if they are in the UI, then they’ll get added automatically to the any membership rules created by the script)

*Update v2.1*

Improved…

  • New group creation and error handling

As of this post this script is not included as an activity in the Operations Manager Admin Integration Pack but will be in the next version. This was a challenging script to write because group modification requires XML manipulation as there are no methods for managing this. I chose to only support explicit membership with this script because that is likely the most common automation need.

Each group discovery can have multiple membership rules which are really only visible by reviewing the XML of the management pack. This script modifies any of these rules, including rules added via the SCOM Console. If the appropriate membership rule does not exist at runtime, then it will be created and members added. If it does exist then it gets the current explicit members, adds any new members passed, and finally removes any members passed. It then replaces the new old list with the new list while keeping any other membership rules not created with this script intact.

Since the plan is to use this in an integration pack it requires that the instances passed to the script be in GUID format and these GUIDs are validated by the script before being added to the group. You can get the GUIDs by using a simple PowerShell command:

Get-SCOMClass –Name ‘Microsoft.Windows.Computer’ | Get-SCOMClassInstance | select name, id

If you notice after running this script that the new members show up in the console under “Explicit Members” but not when you select “View Group Members” then the UI may just not be up to date. Try the following PowerShell command:

(Get-SCOMGroup –DisplayName ‘My Test Group 1’).GetRelatedMonitoringObjects() | select name, path, id

Syntax:

.\ModifyGroupMembership.ps1 –ManagementServer ‘om01.contoso.com’ –ManagementPackID ‘custom.example.test’ –GroupID ‘custom.example.test.group.testgroup1’ –InstancesToAdd ‘8d5e843d-4d4a-3821-91d1-bc6434d6f9f1, aa390a79-b72a-bf58-412b-ebb94a139e06’ –InstancesToRemove ‘732ac45e-4e1a-9369-c9dd-e3b038537474’

Parameters:

Name Description
ManagementServer Name of MS to connect to
ManagementPackID ID of the MP you want to create or modify
GroupID ID of the group you want to create or modify
InstancesToAdd Optional: GUIDs of the instances you want to add to the group. You can pass multiple by separating each with a  comma.
InstancesToRemove Optional: GUIDs of the instances you want to remove from the group. You can pass multiple by separating each with a  comma.

    Any idea why this error is happening whenever I run this script. It happens both just creating the groups and when using the -InstancesToAdd argument.

    Hi, it's hard to tell where the issue is just by the exception. Can you send me more details, such as the existing management pack you're trying to modify? I assume it doesn't happen when you pass in a management pack that doesn't exist? Thanks.

    Thanks, this is a great script! I just had to search for the correct input for the parameters ManagementPackID & GroupID. Because the it is slightly different than the Ids i get from the get-scomgroup and get-scommanagementpack .id value.

    Some additional clarification on the inputs for "ManagementPackID" and "GroupID" would be appreciated, as the default "ID" properties of the returned objects from "Get-SCOMGroup" and "Get-SCOMManagementPack" don't appear to work.

    Hey Greg. In the XML the management pack ID is the name of the MP file itself (minus the file extension). The group ID is under <TypeDefinitions><EntityTypes><ClassType ID="<thegroupid">.

    Hi Russ, thank you for the script. Got a few messages, but it did the job. I wonder if the format I'm passing to the script has some casting issue: Method invocation failed because [System.Guid] does not contain a method named 'Split'.

    Jose, it looks like the script expects a string, not a GUID. Try putting quotes around the GUIDs when you pass them in (or cast them to a string).Of course you could modify the script to remove that logic as well since you're definitely passing in good data.

    Hi Russ, Thank you for the amazing Script.  It's been super useful.  I just wanted to bring this to your attention, as I'm not sure if it's a bug or some issue with the way the group is setup.  Do you have any idea what the cause might be?

    Hey Greg, could be an issue but I'm not exactly sure what it is based on the output. It is has to do with the alias in the manifest of the MP though.
