Prepare local and remote Powershell environement for Service Manager 2012

Hi All !

SMLets and Powershell are an important part of a flexible Service Manager Environement.
With the ability to fire Powershell scripts remotely, it makes sense to install Powershell on all
management servers and on the Orchestrator Server as well.

There are a couple of How-To´s on the web, especially this one but no actual one for SCSM2012
and SMLets Beta4, which are the current releases.

Here is the Stp-by-step guide how to do this.

Lets assume you want to prepare your DWH Management Server for SMlets

1.) Download SMLets from the link here.

2.) Install the SMLets. The install Location is: C:\Program Files\Common Files\SMLets

3.) Open a Powershell Command Interface as Administrator and set the Execution-Policy to „Unrestricted“

PowerShell

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

1

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

4.) Copy 2 DLL´s from \\%SCSMMGMTServername%\c$\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012\
Service Manager\SDK Binaries to a local folder on the DWH Server i.e c:\transfer

PowerShell

Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Core.dll

1

Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Core.dll

PowerShell

Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ServiceManager.dll

1

Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ServiceManager.dll

5.) Open a CMD Command shell with Administrator rights and and enter the following command

PowerShell

copy c:\transfer\Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement*.dll c:\windows\assembly

1

copy c:\transfer\Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement*.dll c:\windows\assembly

6.) Change the file SMLets.psm1 in c:\Program Files\Common Files\SMLets
(be aware that the 2010 in the reg-Key is no typo !!)

This script shows the beginning of the files with the changes in RED.

PowerShell

.SYNOPSIS
 Load an assembly into the current process space
.DESCRIPTION
 Provides a quick way of loading an assembly into the current process.
.PARAMETER Dll
 The assemply to load. This can be either a file name or full path
.EXAMPLE
 Import-Assembly "C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center\Service Manager 2010\SDK Binaries\Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Core.dll"
.OUTPUTS
 No output
#>
function import-Assembly
{
 [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess=$true)]

 param (
 [parameter(Mandatory=$true,Position=0)]$dll ,
 [switch]$partial
 )
 end
 {
 $dllpath = (resolve-path $dll).path
 if ( $partial )
 {
 [reflection.assembly]::LoadWithPartialName($dll)
 }
 else
 {
 [reflection.assembly]::LoadFile($dllpath)
 }
 }
}
# load the Service Manager Core assembly
set-alias -scope global load import-assembly
#load $SMDLL | out-null
[reflection.assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Core.dll") | out-null

$GLOBAL:smdefaultcomputer = "SCSMSERVERNAME"

If the scripts fails to execute, add a global variable

PowerShell

$GLOBAL:PSScriptroot = "C:\Program Files\Common Files\SMLets"

1

$GLOBAL:PSScriptroot = "C:\Program Files\Common Files\SMLets"

at the beginning

7.) Now run the script, i.e. in the Powershell ISE Windows

8.) Start getting access to your SCSM Server by trying out:

import-module SMLets Get-SCSMWhoAmI Get-SCSMIncident

Have fun ! Roman
