Powershell on SCOM script, Capture output for field -Owner

Simple question i believe, but cant understand why my single liner do not print any output. I want ot filter Objects only with resolutions state (0 = new), and Owner area which is blank (not assigned). So i thoght that if it will be null, or i am understadnign not correctly. Thanks for any advice. 

Get-SCOMAlert -ComputerName dbdtScomProd | Where-Object {$_.ResolutionState -eq “0” -and $_.Owner -eq “NULL”}
Solution

  • If you want to use a null value in a where-object statement, use

    Get-SCOMAlert -ComputerName dbdtScomProd | Where-Object {$_.ResolutionState -eq “0” -and $_.Owner -eq $null}

    You may also want to look at using Get-SCOMAlert -Criteria

    As an example:

    Get-SCOMAlert -Criteria "ResolutionState = 0 AND Owner IS NULL"}

    Using Measure-Command in my environment, I see Criteria take 0.6 Seconds and the Where-Object command take 5.1 Seconds.
