Downloads: OpsMgr 2007 R2 Gateway Admin Utility (V2 source and .exe)

Mon, 02 Jan 2012 08:17:32 GMT

V2 improves on V1 by no longer requiring users to type or paste gateway and management server FQDN's in a second form. Gateway and management servers are now pre-populated when you connect to the RMS. The RMS is intentionally excluded :-) Make your selections, click Assign, and you're set.

Sun, 01 Jan 2012 22:48:38 GMT

Our production OpsMgr 2007 R2 environment has over 30 gateways. Fault tolerance isn’t an option, so there are always two GW’s per untrusted domain. Our environment is “dynamic”, i.e. business functions need to quickly tack up/tear down customer facing environments.

Most of us wrote a Powershell script to handle assigning primary/failover management servers for a GW; perhaps a second script shows us if we are evenly distributing the GW load across all MS. This worked great until I had to retire a MS, replacing it with a server having a different hostname.

Instead, I wanted to try a forms application to see if

a) I could write one, and
'b) consolidate existing console apps or Powershell scripts.

Hope folks find it useful.

This utility replaces Powershell scripts for these functions: 1. List primary/failover MS for all gateways in a management group 2. Assign primary/failover MS for a gateway This is raw; my first shot at a forms based app. Written in C# with VS 2010. I recently needed to retire a MS that was end of lease, and the replacement had a different hostname. Until this last one, we always P2P MS and DB roles to keep things easy when it's end of lease. Should be self explanatory, but if there are questions, drop me a line. This doesn't begin to pay it forward, but it's a start :-)
