Today, we wanted to share with you all an easy way to script maintenance mode in SCOM 2012. If you don’t want to manually run this, you can run it as a scheduled task. We like to manage this manually by running the script ourselves, but to each their own. Happy scripting! ## **Syntax** GroupMaintMode -ScomServer “” -GroupDisplayName “” \` -DurationInMin 10  -Reason “”   #--------Begin Sample Script---------------- #\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* # Name: SCOM 2012 Maint Mode PS Script # #  Parameters: # # -ScomServer: contians SCOM server name # -GroupDisplayName: contains display name of the target group # -DurationInMin: contains integer of desired duration in minutes # -Reason: values are UnplannedOther, PlannedHardwareInstallation, #           PlannedHardwareMaintenance, UnplannedHardwareMaintenance, #           UnplannedHardwareInstallation, PlannedOperatingSystemReconfiguration, #           UnplannedOperatingSystemReconfiguration, PlannedApplicationMaintenance, #           ApplicationInstallation, ApplicationUnresponsive, ApplicationUnstable, #           SecurityIssue, LossOfNetworkConnectivity # -Comment: optional parameter #\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*   Function GroupMaintMode #($ScomServer, $GroupDisplayName, $DurationInMin, $Reason, $Comment) ( \[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)\]\[string\]$ScomServer, \[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)\]\[string\]$GroupDisplayName, \[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)\]\[Int32\]$DurationInMin, \[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)\]\[string\]$Reason, \[Parameter(Mandatory=$false)\]\[string\]$Comment ){   Import-Module OperationsManager New-SCOMManagementGroupConnection -ComputerName $ScomServer   ForEach ($Group in (Get-ScomGroup -DisplayName  $GroupDisplayName)) { If ($group.InMaintenanceMode -eq $false) { $group.ScheduleMaintenanceMode(\[datetime\]::Now.touniversaltime(), \` (\[datetime\]::Now).addminutes($DurationInMin).touniversaltime(), \`   "$Reason", "$Comment" , "Recursive") } }   } **Written and composed by one of our Senior Microsoft System Center Architects, Jessica Ervin-Hang** Tags: [scom](https://info.adaptivedge.com/blog/tag/scom), [PowerShell](https://info.adaptivedge.com/blog/tag/powershell), [system center](https://info.adaptivedge.com/blog/tag/system-center) [![Are You Secure?
