Putting a Group of Computers into Maintenance Mode via Windows PowerShell
Have you ever found yourself in need of putting a group of systems into Maintenance Mode in System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2? If so you can use the script below. Note that in SCOM 2007 R2 there is no need to put the health service and health service watcher into Maintenance Mode separately, we just need to put the computer itself into Maintenance Mode and it will take care of other components automatically.
*************Script*********
param($rootMS,$group,$numberOfHoursInMaintenanceMode,$comment)
Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.Client" -ErrorVariable errSnapin;
Set-Location "OperationsManagerMonitoring::" -ErrorVariable errSnapin;
new-managementGroupConnection -ConnectionString:$rootMS -ErrorVariable errSnapin;
set-location $rootMS -ErrorVariable errSnapin;
$groupObject = get-monitoringobject | where {$_.DisplayName -eq $group};
$groupagents = $groupObject.getrelatedmonitoringobjects()
foreach ($agent in $groupAgents)
{
$computerPrincipalName = $agent.displayname
$computerPrincipalName
$computerClass = get-monitoringclass -name:Microsoft.Windows.Computer
$healthServiceClass = get-monitoringclass -name:Microsoft.SystemCenter.HealthService
$healthServiceWatcherClass = get-monitoringclass -name:Microsoft.SystemCenter.HealthServiceWatcher
$computerCriteria = "PrincipalName='" + $computerPrincipalName + "'"
$computer = get-monitoringobject -monitoringclass:$computerClass | Where{$_.Displayname -like $computerPrincipalName}
$startTime = [System.DateTime]::Now
$endTime = $startTime.AddHours($numberOfHoursInMaintenanceMode)
"Putting " + $computerPrincipalName + " into maintenance mode"
New-MaintenanceWindow -startTime:$startTime -endTime:$endTime -monitoringObject:$computer -comment:$comment
}
