Does anyone have a script that I can execute as a recovery task to start the agent service in the event it's stopped. I need a way to remotely execute something against the source of a heartbeat alert to attempt to start the service in the event it's stopped.

    Check out the optional recoveries in the Health Service Heartbeat Failure monitor overrides. There are some built-in options there. There are some community helper MPs like the one provided by Cookdown that can perform similar tasks. SCOM does a good job of maintaining the agent. That level of automation is rarely needed. You may also consider increasing the delay or repeat count to reduce heartbeat alerts.
