Pending File Rename Operation ManagementPack
- What does the ManagementPack do?
The Pending File Rename Operations ManagementPack uses the registry to determine whether or not there is a Value Name as part of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager registry key. It scans for this entry and if it finds it, using the discovery code, the ManagementPack records this fact.
It also includes a dedicated Pending File Rename Operation Report in SRS format
While the ManagementPack targets Server Computers, it could also be built to target Client Computers.
- FAQs
- Why was this ManagementPack created?
This ManagementPack was created almost 2 years ago to support the notion that this value has the potential to cause management and performance issues across your Enterprise. If you have hundreds of Agent machines, within minutes of importing this ManagementPack, you will know what machines are flagged for a restart.
Additionally, using the power of SQL Server, a connection string and a SQL Query to glean the information from this table will acquire the data and make it readily available for review. Once the information is transformed into human readable information, the ManagementPack can be deleted from SCOM and the table it produced will no longer exist.
