OpsMgr++

Hi,

Great script, but I have one issue.  It seems if I try to run it on a computer other than the actual RMS, it fails with the message:

Add-PSSnapin : No Windows PowerShell Snap-ins are available for version 1.

At D:\BackupMPs.ps1:10 char:13

+ add-pssnapin  <<<< "Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.Clie

Set-Location : Cannot find a provider with name 'OperationsManagerMonitorin

At D:\BackupMPs.ps1:11 char:13

+ Set-Location  <<<< "OperationsManagerMonitoring::";

The term 'New-ManagementGroupConnection' is not recognized as a cmdlet, fun

n, operable program, or script file. Verify the term and try again.

At D:\BackupMPs.ps1:12 char:40

+ $mgConn = New-ManagementGroupConnection  <<<< -connectionString:$rmsName;

The non-RMS server I am trying this on is the Datawarehouse server, which has the capacity to hold all my backup files, ie. sql db backups.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Sven

To automate via sheduled tasks

here is how below

1. Start powershell command prompt

2. Set-executionpolicy remotesigned

3. Use get-executionpolicy to check

4. Copy the backupmps.ps1 script to a directory on the server. I used c:\backupmps

5. Create a scheduled task to start powershell

for example

Command line   is C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe c:\backupmps\backupmps.ps1 -rmsname:'billmcdell' -foldername:'c:\backupmps'

Start directory in is the same c:\windows\system32\windowspowershell\1.0\
