Jonathan Almquist on Operations Manager

Hey,

I am wondering if there is a way to choose the installation directory on the machine the agent is being deployed to. The Default is "C:\Porgram Files\System Center Operations Manager\". I'm wondering how to change the installation path to "D:\Program Files\SystemCenter Operations Manager" I know it has something to do with Install-Agent -installAgentConfiguration, im just not sure how to change the installPath.

Hello Jtalmquist,

Below is the answer to the problem :)

$rootMS = "servername.domainname"

# Initialize the OpsMgr Provider

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.Client

# Set the location to the root of the provider namespace.

cd OperationsManagerMonitoring::

#create a connection to the Management Group

New-ManagementGroupConnection $rootMS

#change the path

cd $rootMS

# Get the Root Management Server Object

$rootManagementServer = Get-ManagementServer

# Create a variable to hold the domain name

$Domain = "DomainName"

# Create the query that will be used to search for all servers to discover

$LDAPQuery = New-LdapQueryDiscoveryCriteria -domain $Domain -ldapquery "(&(operatingSystem=*Server*)(!cn=server1)(!cn=server2)(!cn=server3)(!cn=server4))"

# Set up a new discovery config

$discoveryConfig =  New-WindowsDiscoveryConfiguration -ldapquery $LDAPQuery

# Start the DIscovery and add results to $DiscoveryResult

$discoveryResult = Start-Discovery -ManagementServer: $rootManagementServer –WindowsDiscoveryConfiguration: $discoveryConfig

$discoveryResult.CustomMonitoringObjects > "C:\Temp\DiscoveredServers.txt"

$InstallAgentConfiguration = New-Object Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Administration.InstallAgentConfiguration

$InstallAgentConfiguration.InstallPath = "D:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager 2007"

# Install the agents that were discovered.

Install-Agent –ManagementServer: $rootManagementServer –AgentManagedComputer: $discoveryResult.CustomMonitoringObjects -InstallAgentConfiguration: $InstallAgentConfiguration

#destroying used object.

$InstallAgentConfiguration.Finalize

Cheers,
