Have a situation where Team have been updating Server OS without following process of informing Monitoring Admin or stopping the Monitoring Agent. Have tried to follow Kevin Holman's blog for a few servers and it works but now i am dealing with about a hundred: https://kevinholman.com/2019/07/01/do-you-have-duplicate-logical-disks-in-scom/

Does anyone have any powershell to expedite this process for list of Servers?

Delete Agents from SCOM and once they show up in Pending Management, does anyone have any powershell to Bulk Approve all these agents?

I know after that i will have to go into SQL and use Kevin's SQL query to make them "Console Managed".

    Hi,

    To bulk approve agents in SCOM once they appear in Pending Management, you can use the Set-SCOMAgentApprovalSetting cmdlet with the -AutoApprove parameter. This will automatically approve any new manually installed agents that contact the management server. Here's an example of how you might use this cmdlet:

    Set-SCOMAgentApprovalSetting -AutoApprove

    This command sets the manual agent approval setting for the management group to automatically approve any manually installed agent that contacts the management server and joins the agent to the management group.
