Operations Manager 2007 Agent proxy command line tool - ProxyCFG

  • Artigo

Here's a small command line utility to configure/view agent proxying.

A few useful things,

1) Remotable

2) View current agent proxy settings

3) Change proxy settings for agent in a group

4) Update agents based on flexible query expression

 

Details from help:

System Center Operations Manager 2007 / Essentials 2007 Agent Proxy Configuration Tool - V1.10 (Cliveea)
This utility is supplied 'as-is' with no support.

Allows enabling/disabling of agent to act as a proxy (aka. "Allow this agent to act as a proxy and discover managed objects on other computers" )

Usage:
Syntax for local operation: ProxyCFG.exe [-LG] [-GETAGENT] <AgentQueryExpression [-AGENTPROXYON] <AgentFQDN> [-AGENTPROXYOFF] <AgentFQDN> [-GROUPPROXYON] <groupname> [-GROUPPROXYOFF] <groupname>
Syntax for remote operation: ProxyCFG.exe -S <ManagementServername> <domain/username> [-LG] [-GETAGENT] <AgentQueryExpression> [-AGENTPROXYON] <AgentQueryExpression> [-AGENTPROXYOFF] <AgentQueryExpression> [-GROUPPROXYON] <groupname> [-GROUPPROXYOFF] <groupname>

Options:
-LG - List Computer Groups available for -GROUPPROXYON and -GROUPPROXYOFF options
-GETAGENT - Display Agent proxy status for <AgentQueryExpression>
-AGENTPROXYON - Enable Agent proxy status for <AgentQueryExpression>
-AGENTPROXYOFF - Disable Agent proxy status for <AgentQueryExpression>
-GROUPPROXYON - Enable Agent proxy status for all Agent members of group <groupname>
-GROUPPROXYOFF - Disable Agent proxy status for all Agent members of group <groupname>

Entering AgentQueryExpressions:
Agent proxying can be enabled or disabled for a single agent or multiple agents matching a query expression.
Query expression syntax follows that documented in the Operations Manager 2007 SDK. See https://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb437603.aspx
ProxyCFG.exe automatically includes the "Name" property of the expression syntax so there is no need to use it on the command line.
Here are some basic examples of how to use the expression syntax for use with the -GETAGENT option to check the correct agents are returned when using -AGENTPROXYON & -AGENTPROXYOFF commands (speech marks and quotes ARE required):
Here's an example needing to target one explicit agent: ProxyCFG -GetAgent "= 'momagent1.contoso.com'"
Targeting all agents in domain Contoso.com: ProxyCFG -GetAgent "LIKE 'contoso.com'"

Notes:
Only managed agents can have their proxying enabled/disabled. Management Servers are ignored. You must configure Management Server proxying using an alterate method.
The GROUPPROXYON and GROUPPROXYOFF commands target only managed Agents within the specified group. Subgroups are not processed in this version.
Remote connnections require the assemblies Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.DLL and Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.Common.DLL to be present.

    There are so many tools currently developed that it is hard to know where to find them. Here is a list

    As you know.... this setting must be enabled for many agents under OpsMgr 2007. Primarily - for Active

    Quote "Management Servers are ignored. You must configure Management Server proxying using an alternate method." OK so how do we do that? Our System Center Essentials Server reports that "Agent Proxying needs to be enabled for health service to submit discovery data about other computers". As you can't see the server as an agent you can't set proxying on as per a normal agent. All my network devices are set to use the SCE server as the Proxy Agent so everything is unmonitored. How do I setup the Management Server Proxying? I know it says it increases the load on the server in the documentation (and that's all it says) but I'm happy for the server to have that additional load rather than passing it on to another server acting as a proxy agent. Thanks  Greg

    After working through the syntax I managed to get the agentproxyon working. Used  "LIKE '%DC%'" as all the DCs had that in the name and it worked doing all the DCs and listing them as it did them. I could not get th egropup bit to work. I used the tool to list the group and then tried the AD and Exchange group names using = then LIKE and then using like with just a word like Exchange in case it did bot like spaces. Could not get the group function to work. Also Boris ahs done a nice GUI version which works well. Ian
