SCOM Management Pack backup

nobackup

Ever wish you had a backup of your MP?

 

It’s quite easybutton

 

Tailor to your requirements, but you can run this as a scheduled task, Orchestrator job, etc.

I would recommend running the script on a server with the Operations Manager shell (or at least add the Operations Manager snapIn to a non SCOM server)

NOTE This will unseal sealed management packs

 

# Backup Management packs to C drive

# Set up your path, my example is monadmin\backup

$date = Get-Date -UFormat “%Y-%m-%d”

c:

cd monadmin\backup

new-item -itemtype directory -path c:\monadmin\backup\$date

cd $date

# Variants accepted

# Examples – begins with OR, or Company Name, or contains Lab

Get-SCOMManagementPack -Name OR* | Export-SCOMManagementPack -Path “C:\monadmin\backup\$date”

Get-SCOMManagementPack -Name <CompanyName>* | Export-SCOMManagementPack -Path “C:\monadmin\backup\$date”

Get-SCOMManagementPack -Name *Lab* | Export-SCOMManagementPack -Path “C:\monadmin\backup\$date”

 

# Backup Management packs to E drive

# Set up your path, this example is monadmin\backup

$date = Get-Date -UFormat “%Y-%m-%d”

E:

cd monadmin\backup

new-item -itemtype directory -path e:\monadmin\backup\$date

cd $date

Get-SCOMManagementPack -Name OR* | Export-SCOMManagementPack -Path “E:\monadmin\backup\$date”

Get-SCOMManagementPack -Name *Lab* | Export-SCOMManagementPack -Path “E:\monadmin\backup\$date”

If you didn’t catch this (I didn’t), the 2016 Universal Linux Monitoring MP is missing, but is in the 2012R2 bundle

Until the bundle is fixed, don’t forget to grab the Universal Linux Monitoring MP from the 2012R2 bundle
