Adding a computer to the Distribution list on a RunAs Account
-
Thursday, September 23, 2010 10:45 AM
Using System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 SDK and C# I am trying to update a RunAs Account.
The account is configured in advance, but I need to add a computer to the accounts distribution list (More secure is selected). I have been checking the MonitoringSecureData class and related classes. But I cannot find any properties or methods that seem to be related to the distribution.
Does anyone know which perperty, method or class to use ?
I am not trying to update RunAs profile here. That part is working already. RunAs Account Distribution.
TIA,
Jan Nielsen

Funny!
We're looking for the same thing at about the same time:
I'm hoping to wake up tomorrow morning and have something in PowerShell which you may be able to use as a guide for porting to C#...

Hi Marco,
Thanks for replying, but as far as I can see the referenced script updates the runas PROFILE to reference another runas account. I cannot see it changes the runas account distribution list.
I believe Microsofts SDK documentation has such an example already.

Agreed. I'll do some more digging, but I can't promise anything at this point. -

I finally figured out how to do it. Actually it wasn't that difficult once I found out the right method is ApproveCredentialForDistribution.
Sample code without error handling:
public void SetRunasAccount(string strRunAsAccount)
{
MonitoringSecureData account = GetRunasAccount(strRunAsAccount);
List<MonitoringObject> list = new List<MonitoringObject>();
foreach (AgentManagedComputer agent in GetAgents())
{
list.Add(agent.HostedHealthService);
}
m_objMG.ApproveCredentialForDistribution((ISecuredData)account, list);

Hi Jan,
Yes, good job... Now, would you mind sharing your GetRunasAccount function code?

Hi All,
Just wanted to let you know I created a Console app for this. Will probably make a blogpost later and share the console app. Some info can be already found here:
