[OpsMgr 2012] Finding Management Packs from Microsoft Download website using PowerShell ( #OpsMgr2012 #ManagementPack #Powershell )

I guess you already know that page on the Technet where a list of microsoft Management pack is done : Direct link to Technet site.

In March 2013 Stefan Stranger has published a command line to scrape some of the information about Management Packs using PowerShell. Using the line bellow will list provide you the list of management pack and the download link to get it !

$hsg = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/16174.microsoft-management-packs.aspx"
$hsg.Links | Where-Object {($_.href -like "*http://www.microsoft.com/*download*") -and ($_.outerText -notlike "*Link to download page*") -and ($_.InnerHTML -like "*This link*")} | 
Select @{Label="Management Pack";Expression={$_.InnerText}}, @{Label="Download Link";Expression={$_.href}}

This other command line should provide the publication date and the creator of the publication :

[xml]$hsg = Invoke-WebRequest "http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/16174.microsoft-management-packs/rss.aspx"

$hsg.rss.channel.item | select Title, pubDate, creator

Based on this command line, Stanislav Zhelyazkov wrote a script to download all MPs from the link and create folders by MP name, and subfolders by version 

You can get the lates script on that link : Download All Microsoft Management Packs for SCOM 2007, R2 and 2012 in Bulk V2

[OpsMgr 2007 R2][OpsMgr 2012] Powershell script to list all references stored in all unsealed Management Pack

I'm actually doing some clean up in our 2007 R2 environment to be sure that all management pack are OK before importing them in our new SCOM 2012  environment.

As you know, best practices is to create one override MP by MP you want to tune. One of the tasks we wanted to do is to ensure that all overrides stored in unsealed MPs are corresponding to the sealed assocaited MP.

Listing all references of unsealed MPs is a good help to identify what unsealed MP has a reference on a MP (and also override) that should not be referenced !

Download the file :

<<<<<<<<<< Here >>>>>>>>>>

Or create a file : ListReferenceUnsealedMPs.ps1

1. param([string]$Path)
2. $Exportfile = [string]$Path + "\ListAllReferencesForNonSealedMPs.csv"
3. $Exportfile
4. # SCOM 2007R2
5. $mps = get-managementpack | where-object {$_.Sealed -eq $false}
6. # SCOM 2012
7. # $mps = Get-SCOMManagementPack | where-object {$_.Sealed -eq $false}
8. "Management Pack Name;Reference Name;Reference Key Token;Reference Version;Reference ID;Reference Version ID" >> $Exportfile
9. Foreach ($mp in $mps)
10.  {
11.  $References = $mp.References
12.  foreach ($Ref in $References)
13.   {
14.   $mp.Name + ";" + $Ref.name + ";" + $Ref.KeyToken + ";" + $Ref.Version  + ";" + $Ref.Id + ";" + $Ref.VersionId >> $Exportfile
15.   }
16.  }

 Then you can use the ListReferenceUnsealedMPs.ps1 "C:\temp" command line in a powershell connected to your SCOM (don't forget to comment line 5 + un-comment line 7 for using in 2012).

This will create a c:\Temp\ListAllReferencesForNonSealedMPs.csv that contains all References by unsealed MP.

Openning the .csv file with excel will give you :

 Enjoy !

[OpsMgr 2007 R2][OpsMgr 2012] Get Rule/Monitor full information from Rule/Monitor name - Powershell script

Today, I've had a request to retrieve all informations for a rule that was generating too much alerts. The rule was give, by it's name and the name was not really user friendly : _08C092E8_FD6F_48b2_BA1E_473C3B84A2F3_.RaiseAlert

Thanks to the Exchange Server 2010 Management pack developper team :)

So I've create a short powershell function to add to my powershell profile :

1. Function RuleInfo  ([string]$RuleName)
2. {
3. get-rule | where {$_.Name -eq $RuleName} | select-object @{Name="MP";Expression={ foreach-object {$_.GetManagementPack().DisplayName }}}, @{Name="MP Version";Expression={ foreach-object {$_.GetManagementPack().Version }}}, Name, DisplayName, XmlTag, Enabled, Category, Target, ConfirmDelivery, Remotable, Priority, DiscardLevel, ConditionDetection, DataSourceCollection, WriteActionCollection, Id, Description, Comment, Status, LastModified, TimeAdded
4. }

Then I've launch it in my powershell console using the line :

RuleInfo  _08C092E8_FD6F_48b2_BA1E_473C3B84A2F3_.RaiseAlert

Result is like :

 Well done ! :)

I've also created the same function for monitors :

1. Function MonitorInfo  ([string]$MonitorName)
2. {
3. get-monitor | where {$_.Name -eq $MonitorName} | select-object @{Name="MP";Expression={ foreach-object {$_.GetManagementPack().DisplayName }}}, @{Name="MP Version";Expression={ foreach-object {$_.GetManagementPack().Version }}}, Name, DisplayName, XmlTag, Enabled, Category, Configuration, Id, ConfirmDelivery, OperationalStateCollection, Target, ParentMonitorID, Remotable, Priority, RunAs, AlertSettings, Accessibility, Description, LanguageCode, Comment, Status, LastModified, TimeAdded
4. }

Have fun !

[OpsMgr 2007 R2] Columns may be missing in Monitoring views after installing the SQL 2012 Management Pack in Operations Manager 2007 R2

Article ID: 2809231 - Last Review: January 28, 2013 - Revision: 1.1

 

Columns may be missing in Monitoring views after installing the SQL 2012 Management Pack in Operations Manager 2007 R2

 

Microsoft Article ID: 2809231

   Summary

After installing the SQL Management Pack version 6.3.173.1 in System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2, you will see default columns selected in the monitoring views for the new SQL 2012 components.

However, if you upgrade to this Management Pack from an earlier version without removing the old one first, the columns will remain unchanged from your previous view settings.

This is by design, although you can go to Personalize View under Actions and check the desired columns to display.

  More information

This behavior may also occur with other Management Packs.

Overview

The Active Directory Domain Services Management Pack for System Center provides both proactive and reactive monitoring of your Active Directory deployment. It monitors events that various Active Directory components and subsystems place in the Application, System, and Service event logs. It also monitors the overall health of the Active Directory system and provides alerts for critical performance issues.

The monitoring that this management pack provides includes monitoring of domain controllers and monitoring of health from the perspective of clients that use Active Directory resources. To monitor domain controllers, ADMP provides a predefined, ready-to-run set of processing rules, monitoring scripts, and reports that are designed specifically to monitor the performance and availability of domain controllers.

Because client computers in your Active Directory environment can experience connectivity and service issues even when domain controllers appear to be operating correctly, ADMP includes the Active Directory Client Management Pack, which can help you identify such issues. The Active Directory Client Management Pack monitors the services that domain controllers provide. It provides information—in addition to the information that is collected directly on the domain controllers—about whether domain controllers are available by running transactions, such as Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) binds and pings, against the directory service.

The December 2012 revision of the Active Directory Domain Services Management Pack for System Center includes the following changes:

• Product knowledge improvements
• Excessive alert fixes
• Script error fixes
• Rule error fixes

For more details about these fixes, see the included management pack guide.

Feature Summary

• Replication
• Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
• Domain Controller Locator (DCLocator)

[OpsMgr 2007 R2][OpsMgr 2012] Managing SCOM Alerts with powershell scripts

I've recently read an article here that show us how to close unclosed alerts comming from rules in a left SCOM environment and this give me the opportunity to post some scripts to help you to manage alerts in Operations Manager.

First, the article make the difference between alerts comming from monitors (I'll say autoclose alerts) and alerts comming from ruleS (Manual close alert) but forgot to speak about manual reset monitors that generate alerts.

So to close all alerts that are raised by rules :

#Resolve alerts that are created by a rule
#Note the Get-Alert become Get-SCOMAlert with OpsMgr 2012get-alert -criteria ‘ResolutionState != ”255”’ | where-object {($_.IsMonitorAlert -eq $False)}| resolve-alert -comment "Resolving all opened alerts generated by all rules."

What about closing alerts generated by manual reset monitors.

• first, here is a script to retrieve all manual reset monitors

# Search all Manual Reset Monitor$mg = (Get-ManagementGroupConnection).ManagementGroup
$monitorType = $mg.GetUnitMonitorTypes("Microsoft.Windows.SingleEventLogManualReset2StateMonitorType")[0];
$monitorCriteria = new-object Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Configuration.MonitorCriteria("IsUnitMonitor='1'");
$monitorTypeCriteria = new-object Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Configuration.UnitMonitorTypeCriteria("Name LIKE '%EventLogManualReset%'");
$monitorTypes = $mg.GetUnitMonitorTypes($monitorTypeCriteria);
$monitors = $mg.GetMonitors($monitorCriteria);
$manualResetMonitors =  @()
foreach($monitor in $monitors){
    foreach($monitorType in $monitorTypes){
        if(([Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Configuration.UnitMonitor]$monitor).TypeId.Id -eq $monitorType.Id){
   $manualResetMonitors += $monitor
        }
    }
}
# list all manual reset monitors
$manualResetMonitors

•  You're now able to get all information for manual reset monitors and create a script to get alerts for each monitor in $ManualresetMonitors

Script should ne like (not tested yet)

$manualResetMonitors | % {
 #Close all alerts of the specific monitor get-alert | where-object {$_.ResolutionState -eq "0" -and $_.MonitoringObjectId -eq '"'+ $_.Id +'"'} |resolve-alert -comment "Resolving all alerts for all manual reset monitors."
 }


I would like to add an other script that could be usefull when you remove a MP. Save the following script in CloseAlertsForMP.ps1 and call it in a powershell windows connected to the management group in which you want to close the alerts with MP name as argument.

Param ([String] $MPName)
If ($MPName -eq "") { $MPName=(Read-Host "Enter a Management Pack Name ") }
   $mp=Get-ManagementPack | where {$_.name -eq $MPName
   }
If ($mp -eq $null) {
   "The ManagementPack you have put in argument is incorrect or not found"
   "List of available MP"
   Get-ManagementPack | sort -property Name | ft Name
   Exit
   }
$mp.getclasses() | foreach {$criteria="ResolutionState != 255";$alerts+=get-alert -criteria $criteria}$alerts | ft name,customfield1,ResolutionState, Customfield7
$continue =(Read-Host "Do you want to continue ? (y/n)")
if ($continue -ne "y") {
   "No alerts closed"
   "Exit"
   Exit
   }
$alerts | resolve-alert -comment "Closing Alert before Management Pack retirement"

 Hope these fiew line will help you to manage alerts in your environment.
