Putting a Group of Computers into Maintenance Mode via Powershell

  • Artigo

image 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

}

*************************

Save the above script with a ps1 extension.

Schedule the script using the Task Scheduler and command line below:

Powershell c:\MMode.ps1 -rootMS: <RMS server name> -group: <Group name> - Numberofhoursinmaintenancemode: 1 -Comment: 'This is a test'

Hope this helps,

    Has anyone tried this on OM 2012? I need a PS script to put servers into Maintenance mode on 2012. Thanks!

    I would really like to do something similar, where the script would point to a text file with a list of servers.  It would place all servers in that file, into Maintenance Mode. Is this possible?  We are currently doing this with MOM2005.
