#######Start######
$networkdeviceclass = get-monitoringclass -name 'System.NetworkDevice'
$DDC = New-DeviceDiscoveryConfiguration -monitoringclass $networkdeviceclass
-fromipaddress 10.10.10.10 -toipaddress 10.10.10.10

$DDC.ReadOnlyCommunity =

$ManagementServer = get-managementServer | where {$_.IsRootManagementServer

#Write-Host $ManagementServer.name
$DiscResults = start-discovery -ManagementServer: $ManagementServer
-DeviceDiscoveryConfiguration: $DDC
$DiscResults | select-object -expand custommonitoringobjects
$Proxy = get-managementServer | where-object {$_.Name -eq
"machine.domain.co.za"}
#Write-Host $proxy.name
add-remotelymanageddevice -proxyagent $Proxy -device
$discovery_results.custommonitoringobjects
###########End###########
I'm having trouble with the last line;
add-remotelymanageddevice -proxyagent $Proxy -device
$discovery_results.custommonitoringobjects
######Error Start#######
Cannot bind parameter 'ProxyAgent'. Cannot convert
"Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Administration.ManagementServer" to
"Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Administration.AgentManagedComputer".
#######Error End ########
The orginal script read;
$agent = get-agent | where-object {$_.Name -eq "THUNDER.odyssey.com"}
I replaced that with;
$Proxy = get-managementServer | where-object {$_.Name -eq
"machine.domain.co.za"}
I need the RMS to be the proxy agent for these network devices.
This script was sources from SCOM Unleashed.
Any help would be appreciated.

I don't have access to a large enough environment to try this out...
Unfortunately, you cannot just replace one command with another as the
error is indicating: each gives you different objects.
Now, you're not actually trying to proxy any monitoring through a remote
agent (as I believe this is intended to be implemented), so I'm not sure
your logic is going to work.
I wish I could be more help. I'll still try to do a bit of research if
I can find the time.

option to select the RMS or any other MS as the proxy agent, I would think
that there is a way of doing this via Powershell as well and this is what I'm
looking for. This is all I need this script to do, once the device is added
to OpsMgr I have a set of monitors that probe the devices for certain
conditions and perform recoveries based on the value of these conditions.

Thanks for clarifying. I'll take another peak at it. You might not be
able to use the Command Shell cmdlet for this, but maybe the SDK can be
called directly instead.

I haven't given up yet. I haven't found an answer, but have asked a few
people for help. It just happens most are away likely all this week...

I don't have a large enough environment and am short on time to try to test.
Looks like this might be very easy:
PS>$rms=get-rootmanagementserver
PS>$rms.InsertRemotelyManagedDevices($discresults)
Let me know if you can try it out...
This may not be considered to be a "best practice" though.

I've been offline for a while, sorry for only getting back to you now.
I've tried, but to no avail, the error I get now is

A generic list... Argh! ;-)
OK, I'm going to try to find a spot to actually test this... It may
take me a while...

$rms.InsertRemotelyManagedDevices($DiscResults.custommonitoringobjects)
it will import the device - cheers
