Adding a computer to the Distribution list on a RunAs Account

Question

Sign in to vote

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

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 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:

Here are a couple examples using powershell.

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.

Regards,
Jan

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

Nice work, Jan. I'll have to see if there is some way we can port this over to PS.

Hi Jan,

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