SquaredUp v2.2 and community dashboards

  • 21/09/201507/01/2025
  • by Martin Ehrnst

SquaredUp just released a new version which includes some great new features.

Page Scope – to speed up the creation of custom dashboards when displaying information for a single dataset (eg. SQL Computers, or a specific Distributed Application), you’re now able to set the scope for dashboards at the level of the entire page, rather than having to scope sections individually.

 

Clone Dashboards – to make it even easier for you to build custom dashboards, we’ve introduced the ability to clone an existing dashboard. In conjunction with Page Level Scope, this now means it’s easier than ever for you to create a template dashboard and then quickly replicate that for multiple different applications or infrastructure components.

 

Group Maintenance Mode – under the hood of 2.2, we’ve made some significant changes to the way that Squared Up works and that’s allowed us to introduce a cool new feature, Group Maintenance Mode, which allows you to place an entire Group into Maintenance Mode with a single click.

 

Revamped Status Plugin – we’ve updated the Status plugin to provide much better options for sorting and grouping objects, as well as significantly enhanced labelling options

Along with version 2.2 of SquaredUp, they released their new community dashboard site where you can download already configured dashboards and contribute to the rest of our community.

  • 10/09/201507/01/2025
  • by Martin Ehrnst

Yesterday, Microsoft release a new management pack for Active Directory. This is the first release to this MP for over a year, not a lot has changed, but for non US citizens, using another locale settings, there is a change to “AD_OP_Master_Response.vbs” script which failed for German locale settings, and caused issues due to date format on other languages.

MP catalog is not updated, but you can download the latest release here

Export agent rollup info

  • 24/08/201507/01/2025
  • by Martin Ehrnst

Recently, the OpsMgr team released a delayed Rollup 7 to Operations Manager. Some times, working with SCOM you’re forced to perform some sort of change management how strict this is depends on your company policy. After installing the latest rollup to OpsMgr you will have to patch your agents as well. I do not know how you do this in your company, but it’s either completely manual process (i hope not), through the console for remote managed agents (if your firewall allows it) or with another tool. WSUS, SCCM etc. No matter how you do it, you will wan’t to check which agent where patched or more exactly, the agent that need attention.

So the other day, i wrote a small script to provide me this information. I know, SCOM has it’s own agent version info view, but i needed to be able to work on it “offline” at that point. This is a simple script which takes input for management server, rollup info and what type of export you want, html or csv.

 

Lets call this a “fast publish”, so please let me know if you experience any problems.

I have attached a few screenshots to illustrate. And the script, GetSCOMPatchlist
