Green Machine 1.04

  • Article

Minor update. Added the ability to filter by groups using the -group option.

Example command line:

GreenMachine.exe -group "All Windows Computers" -v -reset

The group must contain objects of the class we are scanning. So, if you use -class microsoft.unix.computer, with -group, the group must contain microsoft.unix.computer objects.

Also contained in this release is the full source code. 

 

Note: Subgroups are not supported.

    Great tool, with lots of possibilities! @Shahid: I use it for resetting the Logical Disk Fragmentation as well. Never tested the extra group though, but keep it simple and use: greenmachine - class "Windows Server 2003/2008 Logical Disk" -w -v -reset use the -q option if your scheduling it. Next week I will try to test it on R2CU4 and if i'll remember it, I will post the result here. Ben

    Great tool! I'm trying to reset only warning states for a specific class, although it shows error states to of the class even though I'm using the -w switch. greenmachine -class "Windows Server 2008 Logical Disk" -w Is this a known "feature"? :) Thank You, Stephen

    Hey Tim, I created a group named FSS_Defrag_Servers and an override only runs Defrag task on this group only. As you know after the defrag is complete(failed or success), it still shows the servers in warning state, so next week when the Fragmentation process is kicked off - above servers are set to healthy. Question Feature Request Can i use GreenMachine as below ? GreenMachine.exe -group "FSS_Defrag_Servers" -w -class "Windows Server 2008 Logical Disk" -v -reset or GreenMachine.exe -group "FSS_Defrag_Servers" -v -reset Thank you Shahid

    Just curious, has this been tested against CU3?  I am seeing some issues where the health services crash and am trying to figure out if CU3 has introduced a regression or if it is something else.

    This tool is fantastic - I have been trying to powershell away the thousands of instances of manual reset Group Policy monitors that clogg up our SCOM 2007. This does this very well. One suggestion to make it even more awesome - if there was a switch to either reset monitors that no longer have an open associated alarm, or alternately to do reset where the change of state was older than x days. in my case I'm going to end up closing all the group policy manual resets even though <5% of them are still valid because they are new.
