    Hi All

    Thought this would be easy .. and to pull back the SQL instance name and database names is precisely that.

    SCOM2007R2

    get-monitoringclass -name "Microsoft.SQLServer.2008.Database" | get-monitoringobject | Select Path, DisplayName

    SCOM2012 beta

    Get-SCOMClass -name 'Microsoft.SQLServer.2008.Database' | Get-SCOMClassInstance | Select Path, DisplayName | Sort -Property Path, DisplayName

    But how can I get the RecoveryModel property back as well?

    If I do a | export-csv then the resultant csv file shows that the Recovery Model property is listed as[Microsoft.SQLServer.Database].RecoveryModel but putting that in my Select statement doesn't work (I just get blank entries). I suspect that I might need to link back up the class food chain to pull the Recovery Model property but wondered if there was an easier way.

    Thanks!

    Graham

    Sorry to update my own post - bad form. But Marco Shaw, a PowerShell MVP came up with the answer. The following will work for SCOM 2012 beta:

    Get-SCOMClass -name 'Microsoft.SQLServer.2008.Database' | Get-SCOMClassInstance | Select Path, DisplayName *.RecoveryModel | Sort -Property Path, DisplayName

    Not sure if there is a neater way but certainly if you do see a field in square brackets e.g. [Microsoft.SQLServer.Database].RecoveryModel then to get it into a Select statement, use *.RecoveryModel
