Description

The New-SCSMSubscription cmdlet creates a subscription in Service Manager.

Examples

Example 1: Create a subscription

PS C:\>$PrinterClass = Get-SCSMClass -Name "Microsoft.AD.Printer"
PS C:\> $Message = 'Printer $Context/Property[''Type=Windows!Microsoft.AD.Printer'']/PrinterName$ has been updated'
PS C:\> $ManagementPack = Get-SCSMManagementPack -Name "ServiceManager.ConfigurationManagement.Configuration"
PS C:\> $Language = [System.Globalization.CultureInfo]"EN"
PS C:\> $Encoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII
PS C:\> New-SCSMEmailTemplate -Class $PrinterClass -DisplayName "Printer Email Template" -Body $Message -Description "A template for printer notifications" -Encoding $Encoding -Language $Language -ManagementPack $ManagementPack -Subject $Message
PS C:\> $PrinterTemplate = Get-SCSMEmailTemplate -DisplayName "Printer Email Template"
PS C:\> $UserClass = Get-SCSMClass -Name "Microsoft.AD.User"
PS C:\> $Recipient = Get-SCSMClassInstance -Class $UserClass -Filter 'UserName -like "%Administrator"'
PS C:\> New-SCSMSubscription -Class $PrinterClass -DisplayName "Printer update subscription" -Recipient $Recipient -Template $PrinterTemplate -Condition Updated

The first command gets a class named Microsoft.AD.Printer by using the Get-SCSMClass cmdlet, and then stores it in the $PrinterClass variable.

The second command creates a message for the email, and stores it in the $Message variable. This example uses the same string as the subject and the body of the email.

The third command gets a management pack in which to save this template by using the Get-SCSMManagementPack cmdlet, and then stores it in the $ManagementPack variable.

The fourth and fifth commands store values for language and encoding in the $Language and $Encoding variables.

The sixth command creates an email template that applies when a change occurs to a printer. The command uses values that were created in the first five commands.

The seventh command gets the email template named Printer Email Template by using the Get-SCSMEmailTemplate cmdlet, and then stores it in the $PrinterTemplate variable.

The eighth command gets the class named Microsoft.AD.User by using Get-SCSMClass, and then stores it in the $UserClass variable.

The ninth command gets an instance of the class in $UserClass that has a name that matches a specified filter by using the Get-SCSMClassInstance cmdlet. The command stores that instance in the $Recipient variable.

The final command creates a subscription that uses the email template, created earlier in the example, which sends an email to the administrator whenever a printer is updated.

Example 2: Create an email notification subscription

PS C:\>$Criteria = @'
>>  <Criteria>
>>  <Expression>
>>  <SimpleExpression>
>>  <ValueExpression>
>>  <Property State="Pre">$Context/Property[Type='Windows!Microsoft.AD.Printer']/Location$</Property>
>>     </ValueExpression>
>>    <Operator>NotEqual</Operator>
>>    <ValueExpression>
>>      <Property State="Post">$Context/Property[Type='Windows!Microsoft.AD.Printer']/Location$</Property>
>>     </ValueExpression>
>>    </SimpleExpression>
>>   </Expression>
>>  </Criteria>
>>  @'
PS C:\> $Recipient = Get-SCSMClassInstance -DisplayName "System.User" -Filter "Name -like 'domain admins'"
PS C:\> $Class = Get-SCSMClass -Displayname "Microsoft.AD.Printer"
PS C:\> $Template = Get-SCSMEmailTemplate -Displayname "StandardEmailTemplate"
PS C:\> New-SCSMSubscription -Class <ManagementPackClass> -DisplayName "A printer subscription" -Recipient $Recipient -Template $Template -Condition Updated -Criteria $Criteria -Description "Changes in the printer location will cause email to be sent"

The first command creates a criteria for the subscription, and stores it in the $Criteria variable.

The second command gets a class instance for the class named System.User that has a name that matches a specified filter by using the Get-SCSMClassInstance cmdlet. The command stores that instance in the $Recipient variable.

The third command gets the class named Microsoft.AD.Printer by using Get-SCSMClass, and then stores it in the $Class variable.

The fourth command gets the email template named StandardEmailTemplate by using Get-SCSMEmailTemplate, and then stores it in the $Template variable.

The final command creates an email notification subscription that is configured to send email to the domain administrators. The subscription is based on changes in the Printer class, where the location has changed.
