Shout out to Neal Smith<\/a>, for his help simplifying the ‘SCOM agent application’ install per ConfigMgr\/MECM best practice!\u00a0 Stop using the SCOM console to push agents.\u00a0 Move this to Endpoint Manager as application\/package and task sequence to install and configure on every server built. Need a MECM package (Application) for the SCOM agent.\u00a0 Leverage a best practice, be more secure, include in task sequence, and automate manual install.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Easy button wrapper<\/h4>\n

Why?\u00a0 Helpdesk and server admin teams don’t have access to Tier0 devices.\u00a0 After no access, the Manual process (instruction steps get missed), then server is not monitored, becoming an outage resolution task\/follow-up.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Use the below thread = \u2018easy button\u2019 to package SCOM agent when MECM administrator has availability to add SCOM agent to SCCM task sequence.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MECM\/SCCM Application\/package script :<\/strong><\/p>\n

Using Powershell.exe:
\n###############Startscript
\n“SCOM Super Installer”
\nstart-transcript -path “c:\\windows\\ccm\\logs\\SCOMSUPERINSTALLER.log”<\/p>\n

##ONLY THIS SECTION NEEDS TO BE EDITED, replace different domain FQDNS and the gateway\/management server(s), management groups<\/p>\n

# Leverage find\/replace for the ##something## variables<\/p>\n

# Provide SCOM Gateway or SCOM management server MS for $SCOMGATEWAYFQDN variable.<\/p>\n

# Include SCOM Mgmt Group Name for ##SCOMMGMTGroupName##<\/p>\n

Switch ($domain) {
\n“##DomainFQDN1##” {$SCOMManagementGroup=”##SCOMMGMTGroupName##”;$SCOMGATEWAYFQDN=”##SCOMServerName##”}
\n“##DomainFQDN2##” {$SCOMManagementGroup=”##SCOMMGMTGroupName##”;$SCOMGATEWAYFQDN=”##SCOMServerName##”}
\n}
\n########ONLY THIS SECTION NEEDS TO BE EDITED<\/p>\n

“Install”
\n$commonArgs=”.\\MOMAgent.msi \/qn USE_SETTINGS_FROM_AD=0 USE_MANUALLY_SPECIFIED_SETTINGS=1 SECURE_PORT=5723 ACTIONS_USE_COMPUTER_ACCOUNT=1 NOAPM=1 AcceptEndUserLicenseAgreement=1 MANAGEMENT_SERVER_DNS=$SCOMGATEWAYFQDN MANAGEMENT_GROUP=$SCOMManagementGroup”<\/p>\n

start-process MSIEXEC.exe -ArgumentList $commonArgs -wait -nonewwindow
\nstop-transcript
\n###############Endscript<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lastly, after SCOM agent added to Endpoint Manager, monitoring new servers should be a no-brainer.\u00a0 One less manual step having ‘SCOM agent application’ as part of the task sequence.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n
