Ever have a need to configure a SCOM agent outside the SCOM Console GUI using SCOM.Management pack?\u00a0 \u00a0Tyson’s ‘SCOM Helper PowerShell module’ on monitoringguys.com<\/a> may assist if you can update PowerShell and SnapIn’s.\u00a0 If Tyson’s solution may not be an applicable solution in a locked down environment, the blog is a PowerShell script to manage agent configuration.<\/p>\n

A shout out to Aris<\/a> for his watchful eye testing and playing with this!<\/p>\n

Configure SCOM agent from PowerShell<\/h2>\n

First, let’s begin the conversation.\u00a0 Leverage the PowerShell script to configure SCOM\/MOM agent per domain(s).\u00a0 Whether DMZ forest(s), or multiple forests with SCOM gateways, the script will enable configuration management.\u00a0 Alternatively, add script as a compliance check to the Configuration Management tool, or as a post install step to configure SCOM Agent (MomAgent.MSI) via application or package.\u00a0 Third, utilize the PowerShell script where agent upgrade is a pre-req to resolve ‘a really old SCOM agent version’.\u00a0 \u00a0Lastly, the script also tests network connectivity, and verifies if configuration is requested\/loaded.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It all starts with this object from the command:<\/p>\n

$SCOMAgent = New-Object -ComObject AgentConfigManager.MgmtSvcCfg<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Use the PowerShell script to:<\/h4>\n

Clean up extraneous management groups<\/p>\n

Determine domain<\/p>\n

Check network connectivity via test-netconnection<\/p>\n

Reset healthservice to expedite agent configuration<\/p>\n
