Do you feel like a mechanic having to jump start the agent configuration like a dead car battery? Assuming the Agent is already installed, you can configure the SCOM agent via PowerShell. Even better when you can PowerShell remote to multiple systems. I hope the PowerShell commands below help you master PowerShell to configure the SCOM side of the MMA agent (house).
/*
# Find/replace variables to your environment like Kevin Holman’s fragments!
##SCOMMGMTGROUP1##
##SCOMMGMTGROUP2##
##SCOMMGMTSERVER1##
##SCOMMGMTSERVER2##
#
*/
$SCOMAgent = New-Object -ComObject AgentConfigManager.MgmtSvcCfg
$SCOMAgent.GetManagementGroup(“##SCOMMGMTGROUP1##”);$SCOMAgent.GetManagementGroup(“##SCOMMGMTGROUP2##”)
# If mgmt groups are incorrectly set
$SCOMAgent.RemoveManagementGroup(“##SCOMMGMTGROUP1##”)
$SCOMAgent.RemoveManagementGroup(“##SCOMMGMTGROUP2##”)
restart-service healthservice
# Domain
$SCOMAgent.AddManagementGroup(“##SCOMMGMTGROUP1##”,”##SCOMMGMTSERVER1##”,5723)
# Verify agent config
$SCOMAgent.GetManagementGroup(“##SCOMMGMTGROUP1##”)
# If you have a second management group
$SCOMAgent.GetManagementGroup(“##SCOMMGMTGROUP2##”)
# Restart and test connectivity
restart-service healthservice
# Check connectivity
