I tried this URL group maintenance mode powershell script and it doesn’t appear to work.
I am getting the following error:

You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression.
At D:\Temp\URLGroupMM.ps1:9 char:56
+ $groupagents = $groupObject.getrelatedmonitoringobjects( <<<< )
Putting URL into maintenance mode
New-MaintenanceWindow : Cannot bind argument to parameter 'MonitoringObject' be
cause it is null.
At D:\Temp\URLGroupMM.ps1:26 char:81
+ New-MaintenanceWindow -startTime:$startTime -endTime:$endTime -monitoringObje
ct:$ <<

Thanks,
Sven

Good eyes. I put that in there to test it and forgot to change it back. I have fixed the zip and the post.

Thanks,

Tim

Hi Tim,
thank you for sharing this.
There is a mistake at the code:
$groupObject = get-monitoringobject | where {$_.DisplayName -eq “AU 3AM Website Reboot Group”};
The group name should be replaced with the variable “$groupName”

Regards

Matthias
