Alerting on strings in Event Description
I'd like to generate an alert when more than one string is found in the event description.  Basically trying to create an "and" query instead of an "or" query using RegEx and having no luck.  This is what I had - EventDescription matches regular expression gPlink|organizationalUnit|Write Property but that's an "or" statement and generates more alerts for stuff we don't need.  Here's my latest attempt at setting this - EventDescription matches regular expression (?=.*organizationalUnit)(?=.*Write Property)(?=.*f30e3bbe-9ff0-11d1-b603-0000f80367c1) and i now get an alert indicating Expression Filter Module Failed Initialization.  How do you properly use "and" when setting up a Simple Event monitor?

Ops 2007 - DW Perf Collection Issue
We've been having some performance issues with our SCOM 2007 implemenatation and I've been focused on the Ops db but noticed something with the DW db.  I ran a report to show me the Data Warehouse Performance Collection:Writer Average Batch Processing Time data for this year and I have a management server that's averaging 101.6 (seconds I assume) with 1643 agents reporting to it.  My other MS is averaging 22.31 seconds with 1576 agents reporting to it.  From what I've been reading in research has said anything larger than 20 seconds is an issue.  If this is a good rule of thumb then where should I start looking?  The db disk perf?  Something specific on the MS?

Text Log Monitoring Issue
I'm setting up a Generic Text log rule in SCOM 2007 R2 with a simple expression to look for the string 'error' in the file.  I configured the alert to display the text found by using Params/Param[1] in the alert description.  I have a blank text file to start and I enter the text "Error message 1" and no alert.  Then on a new line I enter "Error message 2" and I get an alert with the text "Error message 1" in the description.  Finally on a new line I enter "Success message 1" which doesn't match to expression to look for and it generates an alert with "Error message 2" in the description (Params/Param[1]).  Seems like it's a line behind for some reason.  Anyone else experience this and know how to resolve?  Thanks for the suggestions.

Working with Groups very slow
We have SCOM 2007 R2 CU5 monitoring 3500 servers in our environment.  Over time working with groups in the console has become extremely slow (we have about 730 groups)!  As long as several minutes to create or edit a group.  I'm guessing it could have something to do with querying non-indexed tables (maybe?).  I was wondering if there were a set of tables to focus on in the Ops DB to try and narrow down where the issue might be.  I could run SQL Profiler but before i rollup my sleeves and do that (I'm not very good at troubleshooting SQL at that level) I figured I check if there's a simpler way.  Thanks.

Availability Data
Is there a rule that collects availability data in SCOM?  My management is looking for availability reports but they would like to see the value as a whole.  In other words the existing availability reports show availability data per server when a group of servers in selected.  They would like to see the availability number for that partiuclar group - not by members of the group.  Is there another report that will do this or is there another way to get this data?
