Have you ever wondered what the object classes represent when you’re trying to scope your console view or target a rule or monitor? It  can sometimes be confusing because the description is not included in all areas of the Operations Console. 

 Here’s a short one-liner to retrieve a list of all object classes present in your Operations Manager 2007 management group, including a description of the class:

Get-MonitoringClass | ft DisplayName, Description

Remember, you can send this to a csv file for easy reading in Excel as well.

Get-MonitoringClass | ft DisplayName, Description | export-csv -path c:\classes.csv 

 You can retrieve a list of all cmdlets available in the Command Shell by entering get-operationsmanagercommand.
