SCOM 2012 RC: How do I install the agent on computer(s) in domain using powershell cmdlet

Question

Hi,

I have loaded the PSSnapin Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.Client on my scom server which provides me with all the cmdlets needed to handle the its operations. There is a cmdlet to install agents named Install-AgentByName which has the parameters -Name (FQDN of the computer where I want to install the agent) -Path (I do not get what value should I pass here), in case i do not what to go with this (-Path) parameter I should pass the -ManagementServer object (can get it by using cmdlet Get-ManagementServer) which in turns request for the -Path parameter to be supplied.

I have a requirement in which I have to manage this agent installation remotely. So I am thinking of doing this by entering into the remote pssession and executing Install-AgentByName cmdlet on scom server.

Can anyone out there help me out in getting me through this path trouble.

Thanks

1. $PrimaryMgmtServer = Get-SCOMManagementServer -Name "omvnextqa03.qa.net"

2. Install-SCOMAgent -Name "Mdbqa01.qa.net" -PrimaryManagementServer $PrimaryMgmtServer

where "Mdbqa01.qa.net" is fqdn name of server

Hi hopeless guy,

Thanks for the assistance and sparing your valuable time for this.

Actually scom2012RC also gives 2007 powershell cmdlets support in order to avoid any breaches, which I didn't know untill now.

And I was trying to get 2012 cmdlets by adding the pssnapin where the snapin is of 2007. Later I ivoked Import-Module OperationsManager which has got me through this.

Thanks
