Manage Allow Agent to Act as a proxy option management pack

I want to share management pack which allows to manage "Allow Agent act as a proxy"  setting in simple and smarter way!

SCOM 2012 Tweaker

Usually SCOM administrators use some scheduler and script, which sets option for all agents. I do not recomend set this option for all agents because of security risk. Instead of this unsecure approach I suggest to use Groups and set option based on Agent's membership in a group.

There are two groups in this management pack:

• Allow Agent to Act as a Proxy
• Deny Agent to Act as a Proxy

All you need to do is to import the MP, and add agents into the corresponding group:

You could also use dynamic membership.

 "Manage Allow Agent to act as a proxy setting" rule checks Agent Group membership and apply corresponding setting. 

By default Rule interval is 30 minutes, but you can tune it in the rule's settings.

Pay Attention that Deny restriction has higher priority!

Rule does nothing to the Agents which doesn't belong to any group.
