A time ago I wrote a simple ping script for MOM 2005. Today I needed a script like that in Ops Mgr 2007, this is how I implemented it in Ops Mgr 2007.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Start the console, click Authoring and then expand Management Pack Objects, right-click Rules and choose Create a new rule…<\/li>\n
  2. Create Rule Wizard – Rule Type: Choose Timed Command\/Execute a script, choose management pack and click Next<\/li>\n
  3. Create Rule Wizard – General: Input a name, description and choose target. In this example I have create a small group of machines that will be the target. Click Next<\/li>\n
  4. Create Rule Wizard – Schedule: Choose how often the script should be executed, click Next<\/li>\n
  5. Create Rule Wizard – Script: Paste the following script in the script box, input a filename (for example ping_script.vbs) and then click Create. In this example I ping two machines, CODC99 and ping.sunet.se.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Hosts = \"CODC99,ping.sunet.se\"aMachines = Split(Hosts, \",\")
    \nstrLog = \"1\"
    \nFor Each machine in aMachines
    \nSet objPing = GetObject(\"winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}\")._
    \nExecQuery(\"select * from Win32_PingStatus where address = '\"_
    \n& machine & \"'\")
    \nFor Each objStatus in objPing
    \nIf IsNull(objStatus.StatusCode) or objStatus.StatusCode<>0 Then
    \n\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Const EVENT_WARNING = 2
    \n\u00c2\u00a0Set objShell = CreateObject(\"Wscript.Shell\")
    \n\u00c2\u00a0objShell.LogEvent EVENT_WARNING, _
    \n\u00c2\u00a0\"Computer \" & machine & \" is not reachable (\" & strLog & \")\"
    \nELSE
    \n\u00c2\u00a0IF strLog = 1 Then
    \n\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Const EVENT_SUCCESS = 0
    \n\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Set objShell = CreateObject(\"Wscript.Shell\")
    \n\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0objShell.LogEvent EVENT_SUCCESS, _
    \n\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\"Computer \" & machine & \" is reachable\"
    \n\u00c2\u00a0End If
    \nEnd If
    \nNext
    \nNext<\/code><\/p>\n

    If you set strLog = “1” you will get a local event for every sucessfully ping. If a machine is not reachable you will get a local event with event ID 2, type=warning and source=WSH. To get this into your console you will have to create a rule to collect them too.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
