Good afternoon, Is there a PowerShell cmdlet that returns the “Patch List” associated with a particular agent? I’ve examined the get-agent cmdlet, but it does not report this information. Would I be better off passing a SQL command to the back-end database instead? Larry

Hi. I'm not sure if you're stuck on using the command shell, but there is a report in the System Center Central Health Check Reports MP. http://www.systemcentercentral.com/PackCatalog/PackCatalogDetails/tabid/145/IndexId/69990/Default.aspxLayne

Hi, Took a bit of doing, but here you go: $class = get-monitoringclass -name "Microsoft.SystemCenter.HealthService" $property = $class.getmonitoringproperties() | ? { $_.Name -eq "PatchList" } get-agent | ft -auto Name, @{Label="PatchList"; Expression={$_.hostedhealthservice.getmonitoringpropertyvalue($property)} } Add a | out-file ... to get the output to a text file.

You can also change the last line to use format-list instead of format-table: get-agent | fl Name, @{Label="PatchList"; Expression={$_.hostedhealthservice.getmonitoringpropertyvalue($property)} } Matt Matt White ( http://systemcenterblog.hardac.co.uk/ )

Good morning Matt, WOW! That is exactly what I was looking for! Having looked at your script, it becomes immediately evident that if I am to take my OpsMgr management skills to the next level, I will need to learn OpsMgr's "object model" (i.e. class hierarchy, and properties & methods of each). Where does one get this sort of information? Ideally, a chart with the class hierarchy along with support documentation with each class' properties & methods would prove quite useful! Thanks again, Larry

Hi, Each management pack guide should have a class hierarchy. Also, the Operations Manager SDK is excellent and a good place to research the object model. I learned loads by wrinting my own SCOM web service in visual studio. The built-in autocomplete is really handy. Good luck! MattMatt White ( http://systemcenterblog.hardac.co.uk/ )
