get-discovery cmdlet gives error when executed in SCOM powershell console

get-discovery cmdlet gives error when executed in SCOM powershell console. When I try to execute 'get-discovery' in powershell console of scom it gives the following error - 'The term 'get-discovery' is not recognized as a cmdlet, function, operable program'. Also, when I execute Get-OperationsManagerCommands, the list of supported cmdlets does not show get-discovery in the list. Though the list contains cmdlets like 'get-Alert', 'Approve-agentPendingAction'.

It seems some of the cmdlets are missing. If anyone has any idea why this is happening please respond to this query.

Hi Friends,
I am very new to SCOM 2007. I am trying to create a new monitor (From Authoring»Monitors»right click and say “Create New Monitor» Unit Monitor”) for monitoring the network PDUs.
On “First snmpProbe” page, it asks for “Object Identifier”. What i need to provide here??
Also, on next page “Build First Expression” window, it asks for “Parameter Name”, where can i get this Parameter Name??
I am sorry, but since i am new to this SCOM 2007, i don’t know where and in which document i will get this information about parameter list and their values.

Can you please help me in this?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi all,
First of all, i'm quite new in Ops Mgr, so excuse my vocabulary. :)

I've installed and imported IIS Management Pack on my SCOM2007 server. I can see a lot of informations about my web server. That's great. ;)

I've installed agent and MP for my Windows XP Client, and every thing is fine. That's great to. ;)

But now, I would like to go further. I'd like to know the response time from my XP client to the WEB SERVER. Is it possible ?

Thank you.
Yoann.

SCOM 2007 Agent on Exchange 2007 Server

I have recently deployed agents to Exchange 2007 servers for monitoring purposes. Initially everything was okay, meaning I could get the reports of mailbox availability for all (4) mailbox servers. Now off-late when I select the report mailbox availability report one two of the 4 servers show. On seeing this I uninstalled the agent on both the problematic servers and repushed agent. On this one of the servers came up in the report, but the other server still having issues getting the reports. Quick look on the computer state states critical on AGENT for this server and this is the same for other server as well which I am getting the reports. I do not know how do I troubleshoot these issues..it is really driving me crazy. any help is much appreciated.

Regards,
xxprince!!

Need help monitoring Dell Server

in discussion Operations Manager 2007 / General » Need help monitoring Dell Server

Hello. I require help to monitor Dell Servers. Do not know why some Dell servers can be monitored and some cannot. Do not think that updating firmware or Openmanage Server administrator solve the monitoring problem as some Dell servers that I have can be monitored using older version of Openmanage with non-updated firmware.

Please assist. Thank you.

Unable to retrieve alerts by command using get-alert for a particular ConnectorStatus

iamtulipin 1238481179|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
in discussion Operations Manager 2007 / General » Unable to retrieve alerts by command using get-alert for a particular ConnectorStatus

I am working SCOM command shell API. However, I am unable to retrieve alerts by command using get-alert for a particular ConnectorStatus. For ex. for a particular alert the value of ConnectorStatus is 'NotMarkedForForwarding' but when I execute the following command - get-alert -criteria {ConnectorStatus = 'NotMarkedForForwarding'} I get the following error:

Get-Alert : Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value 'NotMarkedForForwarding' to data type int.

The issue here is that the API is expecting some int value for ConnectorStatus instead of the visible string value. Does anyone has any idea where I can get the exact mapping of these text to int values?

Re: Total count of events different when retrieved directly from application and from command shell API

The UI is only giving you the count from the last 24 hours by default, from what I can tell.

Try this instead:
PS>(get-event|where{$_.timegenerated -gt (get-date).addhours(-24)}).count

Still, I see a small difference: 190-ish in the UI vs 230-ish in the Command Shell.

I don't have time right now to try to figure out what's up…

Perhaps I don't follow. A computer is an object in this case. Can you be more specific? I don't doing a new MM on a computer object doesn't put the healthwatcher service into MM also…

Maybe this will help?

Can anybody please tell me how can I put a computer in maintainence mode using SCOM command shell API? I can see there is an API by the name 'New-maintainenceWindow' but that puts monitoring objects into maintainence mode and not any specific computer monitored by SCOM.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You can do search from Tools->Advanced Search. Then select the appropriate entity to search for.

I am working with SCOM Command shell API and I observed that total count of events different when retrieved directly from application and from command shell API.

Following is the command that I am executing:get-event

Total no of events that I got were 3018 however, from the application when I search using the 'Advanced Search' functionality the total no of events found were - 1904.

Can anybody tell me why is this difference? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

See here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/magazine/2008.08.scom.aspx

The syntax is something like:
Get-Alert -criteria 'TimeRaised >= ''4/25/2008'''

Those are all single quotes. I've not tried doing the hour/minutes/AM/PM though.

I am trying to search alerts by TimeRaised. I am using get-alert cmdlet along 'criteria' parameter to achieve this. Following is the expression that I am executing:

get-alert -criteria {TimeRaised = '3/3/2009 10:26:32 AM'}

However, I am not getting the desired results.

Can anyone tell me what is the correct expression to find alerts using any datetime fields such as TimeRaised?

SCOM/SCCM Reporting Services Interoperability

e1014959 1233956574|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
in discussion Operations Manager 2007 / General » SCOM/SCCM Reporting Services Interoperability

We are in our research and planning stage of implementing SCOM and SCCM in our environment. The project is rather intricate and distributed. In order to try and make it less complex and distributed; we would like to figure out if we can use the same SRS instance on a dedicated box for both SCOM and SCCM. We do know that SCOM changes the SRS instance for its own use and is not recommended for use with other reporting needs but since SCCM is a part of the System Center family, we thought maybe it is possible to converge the two onto one box.

Does anyone have experience in this type of scenario? If it is possible is it straight forward or a complex set of steps to setup and maintain?

Thank you in advance for your replies,

SCOM 2007 logical disk free space monitor

trentmx 1233785124|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
in discussion Operations Manager 2007 / General » SCOM 2007 logical disk free space monitor

Hello everybody!

Im just starting with SCOM 2007, and I'm experimenting some very weird issues, with a logical disk free space monitor. The issue is that Im configuring a unit monitor for these counter in the next way:

Monitor Type: Windows Performance Counter > Static Threshold > Single Threshold > Simple Threshold

Performance Counter:
Object: Logical Disk
Counter: % Free Space
(I check the all instances option)

Threshold Value: 20.00 (Im trying to configure a threshold of 20 % of free space)

Configure Threshold:
Under Threshold = Healthy
Over Threshold = Critical (I mean that if the % free space is below of 20% it's a critical warning)

So thats the way Im creating the monitor. When the monitor is enabled it send some real alerts of logical disk with a % free space under 20, but it sends me alerts of logical disks with a 93% of free space, the most of the alerts are in this way, over the 20% free space threshold. I'have been trying anything and Im wondering that this error must be by a really stupid reason, but i dont find anything more to try :S Really appreciate your help, thanks in advance.

If you have a performance counter that has a type of 'NumberOfItems64', can you configure a rule to calculate (current sample - previous sample) to give you the increase between the polling interval?

I am creating consecutive performance counter monitors for some o my servers but I am wanting the value of the perf counter in the alert text. When I use $Data/Context/Value$ I get the number of times the threshold was breached but not the value of the counter. Id there any way to get the value of the counter?
