OpsMgr have methods which can get all host classes. Here my own function which can solve your issue:
function Get-SCOMClassProperty {
param(
[Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Configuration.ManagementPackClass]
[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
$ManagementClass,
[Switch]
[Parameter(Mandatory = $false)]
$KeyOnly
function Get-SCOMClassKeyProperty {
param(
$ManagementClass
$ManagementClass.PropertyCollection | ? {$_.Key}
If ($ManagementClass.Hosted) {
Get-SCOMClassKeyProperty -ManagementClass $ManagementClass.FindHostClass()
If ($ManagementClass.Base) {
Get-SCOMClassKeyProperty -ManagementClass (Get-SCOMClass $ManagementClass.Base.Id)
function Get-SCOMClassAllProperty {
param(
$ManagementClass
$ManagementClass.PropertyCollection
If ($ManagementClass.Base) {
Get-SCOMClassAllProperty -ManagementClass (Get-SCOMClass $ManagementClass.Base.Id)
$ManagementClassProperty = Get-SCOMClassKeyProperty -ManagementClass $ManagementClass
If (!$KeyOnly) {
$ManagementClassProperty += Get-SCOMClassAllProperty -ManagementClass $ManagementClass
$ManagementClassProperty | Select-Object -Unique
If you need to do it in SCOM 2007 R2 then you can try my scripts from this examples http://systemcenter4all.wordpress.com/2013/05/15/scom-monitoringclass-functions/. Last should work in 2007 R2 and in 2012. Example in thread will work only in 2012.
For example just run command:
New-SCOMManagementGroupConnection
$ManagementClassName = "Microsoft.SQLServer.Database"
$ManagementClass = Get-SCOMClass -Name $ManagementClassName
Get-SCOMClassProperty -ManagementClass $ManagementClass -KeyOnly | select Name

I have a short homemade film burnt onto a DVD, I now want to import the movie into IMOVIE on my MacBook Pro so that I can edit it, how would I go about doing this? Welcoming any guidance. Thanks in advance.

I have a short homemade film burnt onto a DVD, I now want to import the movie into IMOVIE on my MacBook Pro so that I can edit it, how would I go about doing this? Welcoming any guidance. Thanks in advance.

1. Insert your DVD.
2. Open Disk Utilities (Application> Utilities> Disk Utilities). Highlight your DVD and press "New Image" on the upper toolbar.
3. Choose the location you would like to save your DVD from the drop down menu, "Desktop" is usually the best choice. Then click Save.
4. When finished, your DVD icon will appear on the desktop with the .dmg extension.
5. With iMovie open, double-click the .dmg file you created to mount it. The iMovie import window will then appear asking you to choose. Click Import All and wait for the Import to complete.

I'm wanting to migrate certain applications from my MacBook Pro over to my newer Mini, but Migration Assistant doesn't allow doing this by choosing which applications to migrate-how can I pick only certain ones?

You only bought it four months ago, so it's still under warrantly.
Call Applecare or call your nearest Applestore to make an appointment. Tell them your mac has serious technical issues, describe them shortly.

I'll venture that your problem here is that you're using two very different versions of Mac OS X. The USB adapter has been useful to me when making big downloads or while using other networks, but it might not be your case.
Here's what I would advise, though it may be less than stellar: Copy the files you need into folders and move them through a USB flash drive or using that external hard drive of yours. (Could the format be the reason your MBA can't see it?). Some stuff like calendars and contacts can be exported too. At least in Lion, I haven't used Tiger in a while.
Good luck.

How to Download Games on MacBook Pro ?

Hey guys , I have a macbook pro and I wanted to see if I could play games like Call of Duty Ghosts and .. on it ... if I can how ?

Call of duty ghosts for PC is out on may 8th. Even then, you can't run it on a mac. Get bootcamp or parallels installed and then you can install the game.

What is a trusted site for downloading games on macbook pro

I was wondering what if any good sites are trusted for downloading games for the mac. Any thoughts?

If by "good sites" you mean trustworthy ones that are not likely to contain malware, constrain your purchases to the Mac App Store. There are plenty of games available.
Avoid just about any every site you are likely to find in a general web search, since search results are heavily biased toward the advertising that pays their bills. Since a web search reveals your operating system and browser information to the search engine, the advertisements it delivers are often for junk Mac software products notorious for causing misery.

Purchased a MacBook Pro off someone and was wondering if there is a way to delete everything and start fresh?

I just purchased a MacBook Pro off of someone. They left a lot of their information on it, email, photos and all that. Is there an easy way to just delete everything on it and start fresh?

Before buying a second-hand computer, you should have run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, whichever is applicable.
The first thing to do after buying the computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. Changes made by Apple over the years have made this seemingly straightforward task very complex.
How you go about it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
It's unsafe, and may be unlawful, to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
1. If you don't own another Mac
a. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine is very old and has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
b. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for a MacBook Air. You should have received the media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
c. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
d. Some 2010-2011 models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you can't reinstall 10.6 even from the original media, and Internet Recovery will not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
2. If you do own another Mac
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
3. Partition and install OS X
a. If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
b. Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
c. An unusual problem may arise if all the following conditions apply:
          OS X 10.7 or later was installed by the previous owner
          The startup volume was encrypted with FileVault
          You're booted in Recovery mode (that is, not from a 10.6 installation disc)
In that case, you won't be able to unlock the volume or partition the drive without the FileVault password. Ask for guidance or see this discussion.
d. After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
e. Run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
4. Other issues
a. If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
b. If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
c. When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an iCloud account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information. The setup limit doesn't apply to Apple ID accounts used for other services, such as the iTunes and Mac App Stores, or iMessage. You can create as many of those accounts as you like.

Macbook Pro error and need to know about back up. Urgent!

Hi guys
I hope you can help. I'm a mac newbie but have a problem here. I have a macbook pro 15.4, the latest unibody one. I have only had it for a couple of months and now it will not restart... It crashed downloading emails and then now never gets past the apple logo with the spinning thing below. It keeps restarting by itself but no joy...;(
Anyway, I read around and tried everything I could find. Safe mode doesn't even start and then in the hardware test mode (hold 't' down) I ran the simple test no problems then the extended test and I ws given this error: 4HDD/11/40000004: SATA(0,0)
I'm guessing hard disk issue. DO I will go tomorrow to the local service centre here in Bangkok (that will be an experience I am sure ;)) but my issue is I don't have any back-ups. The reason is I back up to my time machine from my other mac, an iMac so I didn't worry about the MacBook Pro.
The question is how I back up now or even batter would be if I can back up the iMac saved back up to my Macbook Pro later after it's fixed as they are both running identical data and programs etc...
Is that possible or is the iMac back up not compatible with my MacBook Pro?
If yes, how will I restore the MacBook Pro later and what will I have lost if anything?
If no, what do I do now before I go to the service centre?
Sorry for the longwinded expose but I guess you get my drift now.
I am assuming that this is a repair job in any case or is their a way of fixing a 4HDD/11/40000004: SATA(0,0) error???
Thanks in advance for any help on this...
By the way, both my macs were fine until they downloaded the latest safari version and then both went haywire. I went back to the older version and the iMac is fine but the MacBook Pro has never been happy since. Not sure if this is the rot of the problem or I am just unlucky as this is a brand new machine...
Cheers
Paul

See http://www.apple.com/support/leopard/install/ for more info.
As for data if you dont have a backup of the data before your Macbook Pro crashed you may not be able to recover it. If you do have a recent backup of your Macbook Pro on your time capsule you should be ok.
I always push for both onsite backup and offsite backup to prevent issues just like this. But it all depends on the value of the data you are backing up.

I want to find out how much memory is left on my macbook pro. I need to know steps to find this out.

I had a problem today as my computer would not save a file for me. A box stated macintosh HD was full and I would need to clear some files to make room. I realized that although I had deleted emails from mac mail, gmail had not deleted these and all still remained on my macbook pro. I went to gmail and finally deleted all the emails, and there were thousands. I have been able to save a file as of now but want to know how much memory exists on my macbook pro. It is confusing when I go to the Apple icon in the upper left corner of my laptop as that states my computer has 4gb of memory, two in each slot. It does not tell me how much as been used. Any help with this issue is greatly appreciated. M.

The bottom of a Finder window will show you how much HD space you have left.

I am trying to download itunes from the web, but meanwhile I am executing the installation error 2202 appears. Does this problem happens to anyone?

Hi amazer55,
If you are having issues downloading and installing iTunes, or if your computer for some reason thinks you have already installed iTunes when you have not, you may want to try manually removing all of the associated iTunes files and reinstalling the application entirely from scratch. You may find the following article helpful:

Migrating from Powerbook G4 to Macbook Pro - Anything I need to know?

I'm about the begin the process of migrating from one computer to the other. I have cleaned/tidied up my powerbook, tossing old files and making sure all is in order.
Is there anything special I need to know?
Here are my specific questions before I get started:
1. Email/Calendar: currently on powerbook, I'm using entourage for email and calendar. Basically I like the calendar system because back a few years ago when I was needing a calendar, the entourage calendar made more sense to me. I've heard that "Mail" is much better these days. Is it? Can I import my current email settings in powerbook/entourage into MBP/mail and be good to go? Will my calendar import or will I need to start over? Do you recommend the calendar system in MBP or should I keep entourage. Let it be known: I HATE ENTOURAGE. ABout twice a day, it crunches and "freezes" while it does something behind the scenes and during that time, I can do nothing with EMAIL. Bleh on MS.
2. I know I will use the migrate wizard in utility folder. Will it move my applications or will I need to reinstall photoshop, etc? Will it move my keychain (embarassingly enough, I require this tool as I can't remember the gazillion passwords I have)? Will it move my settings?
3. Anything else I need to be aware of in the process?
Thanks for your help!
Sign me, Thrilled with a new MBP with Leopard!

If you could copy you mail and ical data over and not use the migration software. You would have possibly a more stable machine.
If you was going intel to intel then migration would be OK, but you going PPC to intel and you dont want it moving over any odd PPC app. You really want it to run all intel versions.
You can copy the folder and pref files that are on your old Mac over to the same locations on the new one and it will all work OK, keychains you would need to just make a not of the passwords and add them again.
We tend to only use the migration as a last resort to ensure the best possible migration we copy only required data and files manually and re install any third party apps as most put to many files all over the place that makes copying them tricky. Then try and make sure you have all intel version of any of your old third party apps to stop ressetta kicking in and eating up your free RAM.
If you can do this then your not moving any redundant files across, a clean system is a better system.

Hello, i need to know if there is any way to use windows games in my mac without install a windows os?

i want to play some games but i dont want to install any windows OSs, could you help me please.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can try CrossOver, that allows you to install Windows apps in OS X. However, it doesn't always work, so it's possible that games don't work.
If it doesn't work, you have to install Windows with Boot Camp. You will get the best performance
