Ops Mgr Command Line Switches

If you ever wanted to start Ops Mgr from the command line, or force it into certain views when it comes up, here's the ticket:

That plays out as:

Microsoft.MOM.UI.Console.exe {/option[:value]}

/? - show this help window
/ClearCache - clear the UI cache
/Server: - connect to the specified server
/Viewname: - display a view
/Taskname: - run a task
/TaskTarget: - use in conjunction with /task
/ManagementPack: - use in conjunction with /taskname and /viewnane options

Ops Mgr's Application View Schema

It's not news to anyone trying to build Ops Mgr Management Packs that the Authoring Console does not expose all of the options supported and that often you have to edit the XML by hand.

That task gets much easier if you have/understand the schema you're working with. Here's one that I've been working with - the Application View xsd. Enjoy!
