A forum user asked how to get a list of servers in maintenance mode, and who put the server into maintenance mode.
To get a list of servers in maintenance mode, you can use the following PowerShell snippet:
Get-BrokerMachine | ? InMaintenanceMode -eq $True | Sort MachineName |
Select @{Name="Machine";Expression={$_.MachineName.Split('\')[1]}},
IPAddress, InMaintenanceMode
... and you can use the following snippet to see who has turned on maintenance mode in the past 30 days:
$fromDate = (Get-Date).AddDays(-30)
Get-LogHighLevelOperation -Filter{ StartTime -ge $fromDate -and Text -like "Turn On Maintenance Mode*" } |
Sort StartTime -Descending |
Select @{Name="When";Expression={$_.StartTime}},
@{Name="Who";Expression={$_.User.Split('\')[1]}},
@{Name="Server";Expression={$_.Text}}
It would be a bit challenging to attempt to match up the results of the two commands, since the first one is point in time, and the server may have gone in and out of maintenance mode multiple times during the 30-day period.
