Passing "-ComputerName" to the Get-SCOMAgent cmdlet will not work. This
parameter tells the cmdlet which SCOM server to connect to.
What you will have to do is get all agents and filter on the ComputerName
property.
Get-SCOMAgent | ? {$_.ComputerName -eq "COMPUTERNAME" } | Do-WhatIAmGoingToDo

Subject: [msmom] RE: Discover Computer via PowerShell
Well, I found the "System Center Data Access" service (auto-connected to the
last host in 'services.msc', which wasn't the localhost/Management Server).
The service is running and using our designated SCOM DAS account.
Thanks,
Geoff

Subject: [msmom] Discover Computer via PowerShell
Is there a straightforward way within the OperationsManager PowerShell module
to discover a host by its non-FQDN name?
Example that works with FQDN:
Get-SCOMAgent -DNSHostName hostname.domain.com
However, if I don't give the FQDN, the above command won't work. I see
"ComputerName", but when I tried it via "Get-SCOMAgent -ComputerName Hostname"
it fails stating the Data Access service is either not running or not yet
initialized. I'm running this on one of the Management Servers and do not see
any "Data Access" service by ServiceName or DisplayName.
My goal is for users to be able to input a hostname and perform some tasks, but
I don't want them to have to remember to enter the FQDN, if it's avoidable. I
would append our domain to their entries, but we actually have several domains
reporting to our environment, so hardcoding the appending text is not ideal
either.
Thoughts?
