===== Operations Manager Console =====

We have a small client which boots and automatically opens the SCOM Console to display the alerts on a big TV screen. The following files are placed inside autostart.


==== How to open up the SCOM Console ====

Create a link to the console executeable, mostly placed "C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012 R2\Operations Manager\Console"
\\
Rightclick the link and add to target:

<code>
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012 R2\Operations Manager\Console\Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Monitoring.Console.exe" /Viewname:"System.Views.AlertView"
</code>

==== How to login with different user credentials ====

To manage this, I wrote a litte AutoIT script which logs in automatically, as soon as the credential window pops up. Why AutoIT? Well, if you want that PW, you need to decompile the .exe
You can also add to the code to close the script as soon as someone moves the mouse or click anything. This way you cant paste it into a notepad or anything...

<code autoit scomlogin.au3>
