Search SCOM subscriptions for a specific string

  • Article

Today I made this simple script for a customer. It searches all notification subscriptions in your SCOM management group for a specific string.

This script will look at subscriptions' display name, description, and criteria. Matched results are printed out in green, and added to an array which is returned at the end of the script.

    Laura - This is exactly what I can use. When I run the script, I am able to get hits for the DisplayName and Description. However, I get no matches for the Criteria. I am thinking the GUID is being returned and utilized in the 2nd IF statement, thus no match.
