So check the event log, if there are a event in the log before the server reboot, and try to set it.

I doubt if there is an event that gets logged in the eventlog when SCCM client is entering the MW period. If such event is logged, then we can capture that event for SCOM MM monitor that would run the above PS script.

Did anyone find a way to put servers in SCOM MM when servers are being rebooted during SCCM MW?

A Subscription / monitor System EVENT ID 22 Source: contains Update.

And now 10 minutes maintenance mode, I had some servers that come with alarms, before the servers where put in to maintenance mode.

Hope it better. :-)

Get an alert from the Event Create Rule……Then set up your Subscription and choose for Criteria…”created by specific rules or monitors”. Choose the rule you just created.

Works well for a sinle machine….still working on getting it going for multiple machines. See Powershell from Soren above.

mail me at jDOTbradshawATunswDOTeduDOTau if that is not clear.

I’m working with one of the PS guys here to get the script working from Soren, as ~500 Servers is the ball-park we need.
Cheers,
