UIGenerated rules and monitors were created in the console. If you do not select the correct category, performance in this case, you cannot report on this performance data. It's a nuance in SCOM. I hope you find this post helpful, Jonathan Almquist Minneapolis, MN

the generic performance reports have axis points that are dynamic in nature, and there is no way to change this. If you want to create a different type of axis or static axis, you'll need to create a custom report. MSFT doesn't realize that reporting controls they have are terrible for these...

Hi everyone, I'm picking up a Clariion CX-2GDAE on eBay for a lab environment I'm building out. I don't have any hands-on experience with these devices and peripherals. I'll be attaching a couple of IBM x336 servers to this device. I think what I need is a IBM QLogic QLA2340 2Gb PCI-X Fibre...

How are you creating the group? What type of instances are populating the group with? (e.g. Windows Computer, Windows Server Operating System, etc.) Are you trying to override a something in a sealed or unsealed MP? I hope you find this post helpful, Jonathan Almquist Minneapolis, MN

Try this one-liner. I love one-liners. if (Get-Process 'WinWord' -ea SilentlyContinue) {write-host "running"} HTH, Jonathan Almquist

What version? MOM 2005 or Operations Manager 2007? Regards, Jonathan Almquist

What version? MOM 2005...Operations Manager 2007? Where's your script? First thing you need to do is write a script that checks if file exists...VBScript or JScript. Come back when you have that, and let's take a look at writing the MOMAPI parts so you can submit that data properly for...

I don't quite understand what it is you're trying to do... Sounds like you want some of the monitoring from sealed Management Packs from the MS catalog...but, you want to bring the MP's in completely disabled and granularly enabled each monitor/rule on a one-to-one basis for a partcular group...

BTW - This is what I ended up with. This is certainly an easily parsable format. get-service | select-object name,displayname | where-object{$_.name -match ("clr")} | Format-list | out-file c:\service.txt Just thought I'd follow up in case anyone else could use it.

You know... format-list will work just fine for my task. Thanks for your help.

That's funny...I was just taking a look at -wrap. However, it places the text on the next line in the text file. That's makes it kinda tricky to parse.

It's been a while, but this is obviously a machine policy. If this is not a "built in" policy, you'll need to create a custom ADM file and import it into your GPO's. Then, after linking via OU or security filtering, you may need to bounce the box. Here's some info on creating ADM's...
