Putting objects into maintenance mode in Operations Manager can be a cumbersome experience if you're not to familiar with operations manager.
If I wish to put a computer into maintenance mode, normally I'd have to open up the console and put it into maintenance mode in three different places. First you get into the computer view, select the computer, put this into maintenance mode, and afterwards you'll have to repeat this steps twice more in the discovered inventory view for the 'health service' target and the 'health service watcher' target for the specific computer.
In my search for a solution to this problem a came upon several great powershell scripts which do this for you all at once. Boris Yanushpolsky wrote a script to put an agent into maintenance mode which can be found here.
He also wrote a Group Maintenance mode script to put an entire group into maintenance mode all at once. This script is found here.
Then there are various versions like a group maintenance mode script which asks for input, and a web-based maintenance mode by Steve Rachui. These are all great and very useful scripts. I'm very charmed by the graphical interpretation of the web based maintenance mode but I didn't really want to install a separate website.

During some actions on the authoring pane i apparently ran into a corrupted element 'cause i ran into an object not found exception.
It was something like:
Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Common.ObjectNotFoundException: An object of type MonitoringClass with Id [someguid] was not found.
after that the console crashed and i could not start it anymore.
Restarting services or a reboot of the RMS gave no solution.
I continuously ran into the following error.
