Upgrading SCOM 2012 SP1 agent to SCOM 2012 R2

Question

Hello All
We have created a new SCOM 2012 R2 environment and now planning to upgrade our agents which are in SCOM 2012 SP1 environment . We want to keep the agents dual homed for some time . I would like to know if there is any kind of automation/script that someone
has already made to upgrade SCOM agent from SP1 to R2 ,and at the same time have it dual homed (pointing to 2 MG)

Answer 1

You may try
1) upgrade the SCOM agent by
msiexec /i MOMAgent.msi /qn /l*v D:\logs\AgentUpgrade.log  AcceptEndUserLicenseAgreement=1
2) Add additional management group y using following vb script
Option Explicit
Dim objMSConfig
Set objMSConfig = CreateObject("AgentConfigManager.MgmtSvcCfg")
‘Add a management group
Call objMSConfig.AddManagementGroup ("MyManagementGroupToAdd", "company.sm.net",5723)
