Hi All,

I want to set failover SCOM Management Server to a few SCOM agents with the powershell queries, but its showing this below error:-

failover error

So Below steps i have used to set failover MS

  1. I have created a text file with the multiple scom agent.
  2. $Agents = Get-Content -Path "C:\Temp\agentlist.txt"
  3. $MSName02 = 'MY Failover Management Server'
  4. $MS02 = Get-SCOMManagementServer | where {$_.Name -eq $MSName02}
  5. Set-SCOMParentManagementServer -Agent $Agent -FailoverServer $MS02

So the error seems unable to convert value of "System.String" to type "Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Administration.AgentManagedComputer".

I think i am doing something wrong in adding the scom agent to text files.not sure.

Please suggest here!!
