Finding Multihomed OpsMgr agents with PowerShell
This week I got some questions about Multihoming agents. As you know, a multihomed architecture is based on the concept of an agent reporting to two (or more) management groups. But first I wanted to know how I could see if an agent was a multihomed agent and I used PowerShell to look into the registry of an agent for the ManagementGroup information.
dir "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Operations Manager\3.0\Agent Management Groups\" ` | Format-Table @{Label="ManagementGroup";Expression={$_.PSChildName}} –aut |
Result:
Is this case I used PowerShell Remoting to connect to another Agent in my OpsMgr demo environment to collect the Management Group information.
As you see I don’t have a multihomed agent in my demo environment
