i have a requirement where i have to restart a windows server from scom 2012 (using a script), currently i dont have any event id or log files which i can use, the only information i have here is the alert from the monitor. Can i use the alert for restarting the server using a script? What would be the best practice here that needs to be followed, Also if i want to use command channel command line what parameters can i use?

Hi,

Please refer to this:

i used the the above method but i am running into an error once the script is ran:

The Event Policy for the process started at 3:37:52 PM has detected errors in the output. The 'ExitCode' policy expression: [^0]+ matched the following output: 1 Command executed: "C:\winnt\system32\cscript.exe" /nologo
