re: PowerShell script to change administrator password on a list of machines

Tobi point out that I made a mistake in the above script -

instead

If($pwage -ne $null)

it should be

$pwage.value -ne "0"

Thanks Tobi!

re: PowerShell Script to Put the Agent, the Health Service and the Health Service Watcher on the Agent into Maintenance Mode Revisited

So I got the script to work...sort of.

If my list.txt file only has one computer name in it then the script will work just fine, but if I have more than one I get errros.

The fact you at the PS c:\ prompt doesn't look right, if you look at my post, you need to be at something like PS Monitoring:\XYZPMP01(replace your server name). Take a look at this post as well, it explains how you add SCOM provider to the regular PS console.

BTW, the Opsmgr R2, you can put computer into maintainence mode by right click.

Even on the opsmgr server, there are still two powershell console.

You need to run this in command shell comes with Opsmgr not just regular powershell?

re: The wait is over – OpsMgr 2007 R2 hits RTM

I was a little bit anxious. It turns out you can't upgrade OpsMgr 2007 SP1 (SKU-select) to the evaluation copy. You will have to wait on the RTM-select!
