OpsMgr (SCOM) - Alert Views without any console ?

Recently i got the need to put "Alert Views" on 4 different Teams TV's.

My first though was ... "WebConsole can't do the job ..."
So i remembered that PS1 could save my day!

Cons:

- SCOM Web Console too slow;
- You need IE;
- ... and silverlight;

Solution :

- Created a PS1 that for every different group i want gets latest 24h alerts (Warn/Crit);
- Foreach group i create an HTML file and put it on my favourite Web-Server;
- Created a Runbook that for a 90 seconds schedule runs the PS1;
      - You can also have a Scheduled Task for the Job;
- HTML has a meta tag that makes HTML refresh every 30 seconds;

 Import-Module OperationsManager  
 New-SCOMManagementGroupConnection -ComputerName "SCOMSERVER_GOES_HERE"  
 $MyGroups = @()  
 Foreach ($item in Get-Content C:\OpsMgr\WebAlertViews\conf\Groups.conf ) {  # Dont Forget to change this!
     $MyGroups += Get-SCOMGroup -DisplayName $item  
 }  
 $newTime = (Get-Date).AddHours(-24)
