If you do not need to fully automate the deployment of agents but you still want to automate the approval of manually deployed agents, you can query the pending actions that require approval, and then approve them by using the Operations Manager class libraries.
Example
The following example demonstrates how to approve a pending action that adds a computer with a manually installed agent to the Management Group. Other types of pending actions can be approved in a similar manner.

' Allows all computers with a manually installed agent ' to join the Management Group. Imports System Imports System.Collections.Generic Imports System.Collections.ObjectModel Imports Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement Imports Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Administration Imports Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Common Imports Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Configuration Imports Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Monitoring Imports System.Text Namespace SDKSamples Class Program Public Overloads Shared Function Main(ByVal args() As String) As Integer Console.WriteLine("Approving manual agent installations.") Dim mg As ManagementGroup = New ManagementGroup("localhost") Dim mga As ManagementGroupAdministration = mg.GetAdministration() Dim pendingActions As ReadOnlyCollection(Of AgentPendingAction) = mga.GetAgentPendingActions() If pendingActions.Count = 0 Then Console.WriteLine("There are no pending actions for this Management Group.") Return 1 End If Dim approvedActions As List(Of AgentPendingAction) = New List(Of AgentPendingAction)() Dim action As AgentPendingAction For Each action In pendingActions ' Approve pending actions only for manually installed agents. If action.AgentPendingActionType = AgentPendingActionType.ManualApproval Then Console.WriteLine("Agent " & action.AgentName & " waiting for approval...") approvedActions.Add(action) Console.WriteLine(action.AgentName & " has been approved.") End If Next Try mga.ApproveAgentPendingActions(approvedActions) Catch e As UnknownServiceException Console.WriteLine("No agents were approved (possibly because no agents were waiting for approval).") End Try End Function End Class End Namespace |
