Hi All,
Hope you can offer some advice with a problem I have. I have just installed SCOM 2007 R2 to monitor our test machines. As we have a number of machines each of our testers will be responsible for the machines they are using at any particular time. They
will need to be notified when problems occur. Following Kevin Holman's blog on subscriptions and groups -
http://blogs.technet.com/kevinholman/archive/2008/02/01/configuring-notifications-to-include-specific-alerts-from-specific-groups-and-classes.aspx - I am trying to create a script that will configure the group and the subscription for each machine.
If a group for a particular machine does not exist the script should create a new group. Below is an except from my script just for creating the group.
Unfortunately I am hitting an error when trying to do this. When InsertCustomMonitoringObjectGroup($group) is called in the script below I get the error
Exception : System.Management.Automation.MethodInvocationException: Exception calling "InsertCustomMonitoringObjectGroup" with "1" argument(s
): "Processing the template failed. See inner exception for details." ---> : Processing the template failed. See inner
exception
for details.
XSD verification failed for management pack. [Line: 1, Position: 1921]The 'ID' attribute is invalid - The value 'ESTEST.TST-2K85S
1 Group' is invalid according to its datatype 'ManagementPackUniqueIdentifier' - The Pattern constraint failed.The Pattern
constr
aint failed.
The XML in the $formula is taken from the export of the ESTEST management pack after creating a Group through the Ops Mgr Console GUI. I've tried various formats and values for namespace and groupName but all generate the same error.
I'd be very gratefull for any sugestions as to what I need to change to get this working.
function CreateGroup($Agent)
{
$ind = $Agent.Name.ToUpper().indexof(".")
if ($ind -lt 1)
{
$ind = $Agent.Name.ToUpper().length
}
$aName = $Agent.Name.ToUpper().substring(0, $ind)
$groupName = $aName + " Group"
$groupDisplayName = $aName + " Group"
