I've used MOM/SCOM for years and one of my major gripes with it was always the inability to schedule maint mode. Had to write custom scripts or buy products. We moved off of SCOM to SolarWinds (SAM, NPM, NCM, IPAM, UDT, insert other acronyms here) because of the ease of use and additional network modules. But still, I find…

I had a call with several people at SolarWinds yesterday (executives and managers). They asked what my biggest issue with the product was. I pointed them straight to this post. Hopefully that will raise the visibility a bit as well. I pointed out a few things to them about the current process... * It's clunky. A utility…

Been about 4 years since my last post on this one...overdue bump

That's hilarious, I literally just did the same thing got here and you beat me by 1 min. well played @cahunt

I didn't get anywhere with it unfortunately. I think it's just a limitation that will have to be addressed as a feature request. For now, we've been creating normal user IDs as "service" accounts then removing rights and disabling interactive login with GPO. Not ideal in the slightest.

Did you ever find a solution for this? I'm struggling to come up with a throughput monitor for Azure ExpressRoute. I deployed the Azure native NPM solution that integrates with Log Analytics - it's terrible. The interface is buggy. The agents randomly disappear from the config if I configure alerts. Generally not a good…

SAM is very powerful. To your point, not all applications are as basic as knowing that Windows NT services are running. You can monitor processes, app pools, sites, perf counters, tcp ports, event logs, and so on. I'd strongly recommend getting familiar with building application templates. They are reusable logical…

Something like this might be able to help. If you need to target inbox only or something I think you might need to resort to search-mailbox or some other cmdlet. But if they clear the inbox completely this should work. Just replace the user and paste this into a SolarWinds PowerShell component monitor. Then you can set…

Did you ever get anywhere with this? I'm hoping to leverage GMSAs as well. Specifically, I don't want to have to give a standard user / service account domain admin access. GMSAs seem like a good alternative. Just assign it to the group "domain controllers" and let AD manage the password. I haven't set anything up yet but…
