Hi, is it possible to automate mapping of MECM collection membership to SCOM group membership (preferably with PowerShell). Basically what I want is to set up scheduled maintenance mode applied to SCOM group whose members are computers that are also members of MECM collection with proper Maintenance Window defined on it (Maintenance Mode in SCOM matches Maintenance Window of MECM collection). As far as I know, OperationsManager PS module does not have cmdlets for managing SCOM groups whatsoever.

    Hello,

    I am not sure if this is the correct approach, nor if there are better options than this.
    Still looking at the article below, there seems to be a community PowerShell module that allows you to create and manage SCOM Groups from a PS Script:

    https://www.cloudsma.com/2018/01/automate-scom-group-creation/

    Having that, you just need your PowerShell commands to extract collection members from MECM (maybe this - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/configurationmanager/get-cmcollectionmember?view=sccm-ps)

    I hope it helps!

    BR,

    George

    This is a better option to sync scom maintenance mode with sccm maintenance windows: https://kevinholman.com/2019/07/28/scom-agent-initiated-maintenance-mode-with-sccm-maintenance-windows/
