PowerShell and MOM 2005
Microsoft Operations Manager 2007(MOM2007), will be build on powershell, so there will be Cmdlets to manage MOM2007 and everything you can do in the GUI you can do in PowerShell.As I'm Implementing a MOM2005 environment as MOM2007 is still in Beta.
So we have to miss the MOM Management Shell (Snap-In) and all those nice Cmdlets as shown at TechEd .
But then again........ Maybe not .
As I had a very good experience with using a .NET DLL from the SMS 2003 SDK (Microsoft.SystemsManagementServer.Automation.dll) See : PowerShell and SMS 2003
I Downloaded the MOM SDK, but no DLL so did look at the .NET examples in the SDK ,
and what seems to be the Case the are allready there, under the MOM programs directory is allready a SDK bin directory, from the examples I did learn that you needed 2 DLL's : Microsoft.Mom.Sdk.dll and mom.context.dll , on My Workstation I could only find Microsoft.Mom.Sdk.dll , but on the MOM ManagementServer the latter was also there, I tried copying it to my client but that did not work, So I installed PowerShell on the Server (As I was lucky that it is our server not the customers I was able to do that) .
And as the DLL's are allready there I needed only this 3 "Magic Lines" and my MOM2005 Management Server was "PowerShell Enabled".
# PowerShell Enable MOM2005
# /\/\o\/\/ 2006
# (works only on MOM managentserver)
# Load Needed DLL's (default Installed)
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile("$($env:ProgramFiles)\Microsoft Operations Manager 2005\SDK Bin\Microsoft.Mom.Sdk.dll")
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile("$($env:ProgramFiles)C:\Program Files\Microsoft Operations Manager 2005\SDK Bin\mom.context.dll")
# Get a Mom Administration Object
$mom = [Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Mom.Administration]::GetAdministrationObject()
# And we are Ready to Go :
# Ask the Object what we can do With it :
$mom | gm
# get groups and puters
$mom.GetComputerGroups() | ft name,ComputerIncludeList
#get agents and states :
$mom.GetAgentManagedComputers() | FT Name,State
# get rulegroups
$mom.GetRuleGroups()
# /\/\o\/\/ 2006
# (works only on MOM managentserver)
# Load Needed DLL's (default Installed)
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile("$($env:ProgramFiles)\Microsoft Operations Manager 2005\SDK Bin\Microsoft.Mom.Sdk.dll")
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile("$($env:ProgramFiles)C:\Program Files\Microsoft Operations Manager 2005\SDK Bin\mom.context.dll")
# Get a Mom Administration Object
$mom = [Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Mom.Administration]::GetAdministrationObject()
# And we are Ready to Go :
# Ask the Object what we can do With it :
$mom | gm
# get groups and puters
$mom.GetComputerGroups() | ft name,ComputerIncludeList
#get agents and states :
$mom.GetAgentManagedComputers() | FT Name,State
# get rulegroups
$mom.GetRuleGroups()
From here on as you also can see in the Acive Directory series I currently running,
its easy to learn from the Object itself using Get-Member (see example above when you run it) and to construct easy Functions to mimic the MOM2007 CDMlets.
e.g. :
PoSH>$mom.GetAgentManagedComputers() | FT NAME,STATE
Name State
---- -----
MS001 Error
MS002 Error
MS012 Warning
MS046 Success
MS047 Success
MS048 Success
# Make it a Function :
Function get-MomAgentManagedComputers {
$mom.GetAgentManagedComputers() | FT NAME,STATE
}
Name State
---- -----
MS001 Error
MS002 Error
MS012 Warning
MS046 Success
MS047 Success
MS048 Success
# Make it a Function :
Function get-MomAgentManagedComputers {
$mom.GetAgentManagedComputers() | FT NAME,STATE
}
Or as is almost just as easy for most task just just the variable and create (Sub) variables ;-)

This one of the think I love most in MSH and why it is so great,
- find a SDK,
- look for the .NET DLL's
- load them in the Shell,
- get an .NET Object
- ask what it can do ..
- and of you go .... You can start exploring and learning on the Job.
And again... we don't have to wait for the next version (MOM or PoSH),
we can make a headstart.
If there is someone that knows a way to do this on the client (getting a mom.context.dll that works on the client I think is needed) that would be realy great, so if any MOM guru is reading this, and knows how to do this, please leave a comment.
Enjoy,
Greetings /\/\o\/\/
