Hell Folks, This Tool is working Nice but i have one small problem.
On the Schedule set time, i see once PS Script is running but it’s prompting for me to press R for Running this Script. How can we set so that it’s always run without any confirmation.

Thanks in Advance…

Agent/GroupMaintenanceModeV4.ps1 script works for servers into maintenance in our environment. I have also found more script for web application maitenance URLMaintenanceModeV4.zip and it works without any problem.

I’m not powershell guru, is it possible to combine those two scripts into one?

Will you design this for SCOM 2012? I have a lab and it does not seem to be working. Also can I create any sort of group of items and put them in MM? IE. Put this APP Pool, IIS server and Sites into MM.

The task is created in task scheduler, however it will not run from the task scheduler. I click run, it appears to sucessfully complete but nothing happens.
If run in Windows PowerShell:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe C:\MaintenanceModeV4\AgentMaintenanceModeV4.ps1 –rootMS: ‘RMS Server’ -computerPrincipalName: ‘ServerName’ -minutes:6 -comment: ‘Job Name’ -reason: ‘PlannedOther’
It works fine and the server is put into maintenance mode.
Both Agent and Server have ExecutionPolicy set to unrestricted.
Why won’t it run for task scheduler? Please help! Thanks.
