I have rejected servers for update from Pending Management and did not update to R2 UR5. How to scan again ?

Question

Hello Guys,
I have updated from SCOM 2012 SP1 to SCOM 2012 R2 UR5. After the update I saw all my agents in Pending Management. I rejected them by mistake and now they cannot be updated through the console anymore. They won't return in Pending. Is there any way to rescan
all my agents to get them in Pending Management again so I can update the SCOM agent to R2 UR5 ? Any powershell command or SQL query ?

Hi There,
From 500 agents, How many are manually installed ? As for manually installed the Wizard will not work and you will have to do it manually.
Also if you have SCCM, You can push it through SCCM or via group policy. As the setup is repackaged and will not require any user interface options.
or try the below script to push the MSI file on multiple servers in 1 shot.
#Variables
$computername = Get-Content 'M:\Applications\Powershell\comp list\Test.txt'
$sourcefile = "\\server\Apps\LanSchool 7.7\Windows\Student.msi"
#This section will install the software 
foreach ($computer in $computername) 
$destinationFolder = "\\$computer\C$\download\LanSchool"
#This section will copy the $sourcefile to the $destinationfolder. If the Folder does not exist it will create it.
if (!(Test-Path -path $destinationFolder))
New-Item $destinationFolder -Type Directory
Copy-Item -Path $sourcefile -Destination $destinationFolder
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $computer -ScriptBlock { & cmd /c "msiexec.exe /i c:\download\LanSchool\Student.msi" /qn ADVANCED_OPTIONS=1 CHANNEL=100}
