Discovery and installation of agenter with ManualMC.txt
MOM 2005 use the file ManualMC.txt as a alternative to add computers that will be monitored. MOM will install agent on all computers that are in the file, but it can be boring mission to keep that file updated all the time. I have done a script that will quest Active Directory for computers in a OU. The result will then be written to ManualMC.txt. You can also add some machines in the script, so all computers don’t need to be in the same OU. Â Setup this script as a schedule task to run sometime every day.
Next time MOM run discovery a agent will be installed on all machines, or they will be placed under pending actions. That depends on your global settings. If you don’t want a machine to have a agent anymore, you can delete the name from ManualMC.txt and MOM will uninstall the agent at next discovery.
Machines in ManualMC.txt will be excluded if there is a exclude rule in the discovery settings.
You will find ManualMC.txt here %SYSTEM ROOT%\Program Files\Microsoft Operations Manager 2005\
This will be a default function in SCOM 2007. Before your start working with the script you will need to change
-
LDAP path
-
Path to the ManualMC.txt file
-
Computer name for computers that always will be included. If you want to add more than two you can add more Computer(X) lines, and also add the first Dom Computer (2) number.

Uppdatera custom fields
When you start understand how MOM 2005 works you will most likely implement new functions and rebuild some default functions. A good way to do this is by script. MOM support both VBscript, Jscript and Perl script. In this guide I will show you what you can do with alert custom fields . The included script will take information from an alert, ask questions against AD and update the custom fields.
