Stefan Koell RE: Network drive mapping monitoring
Hi, this is not possible to do out-of-the-box with SCOM but you could write a script and create a monitor based on the script. Here are some sample scripts and examples how to build script based monitors: http://www.systemcentercentral.com/BlogDetails/tabid/143/IndexID/19269/Default.aspx Another thing you need to be careful is the user account for the monitor. Mapped network drives are managed on a per user basis. The account which monitors the network mapping and runs the monitoring script needs to be the same account as the one who mapped the drive. Specifying a custom Run-As account for a monitor is a bit more tricky and needs you to use the authoring console or write XML directly to the MP. cheers, Stefan http://www.code4ward.net
Stefan Koell RE: SCX_UnixProcess Parameters and ModulePath null on AIX
Hi, I've had the very same issue with a customer of mine. According to MS it's a known issue but I couldn't get a clear answer from them if and when they fix it (maybe with CU6, if this even exists). It's really a shame because it leaves you with only one option: work with shell scripts. Regards, Stefan http://www.code4ward.net
Stefan Koell RE: Re: Targeting a task to a group
It would be too much to walk you through here in the forum. Unfortunately it isn't that easy, especially when you are a beginner and just exploring SCOM. You should read and familiarize yourself with management pack authoring. Here are a couple of resources for you to jump in: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee957010.aspx http://blogs.technet.com/b/brianwren/ http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/systemcenter/dd627344.aspx http://blogs.technet.com/b/authormps/ http://www.opsmanjam.com/OpsManJam%20Library/Forms/MP%20folder%20view.aspx?RootFolder=/OpsManJam%20Library/Management%20Packs&FolderCTID=&View={28F6035C-64EB-43DD-AE64-039B5C85A626} The high level steps are the following: 1. install and setup the Authoring Console:http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=18222 2. Create a new management pack using the Authoring Console 3. Create a new class, derived from Windows Computer for example 4. Create a discovery for the class. Target Windows Computer

I've read about the MP but haven't really used it before.

Having a ready to use MP which does what you need and can be customized using overrides, would be the easiest way to do. I'm not sure if I understand your override issue. You have to create an override on the monitor and enable the monitor for a specific...

Out-of-the-box you can implement *any* vbscript as a monitor (see my second link). If you want to use powershell, it's more complicated and you need the authoring console: http://www.code4ward.net/main/Blog/tabid/70/EntryId/57/How-to-create-a-Two-State-Po...

Hi, take a look at the file count script: http://www.systemcentercentral.com/Downloads/DownloadsDetails/tabid/144/IndexID/7570/Default.aspx It should be easy to adapt the script to your needs. Look at this article on how to create a monitor based on scrip...

I agree with Andy on this. It's one thing if you have to monitor a poorly written 3rd party application with no instrumentation whatsoever but in a situation where an application is developed in-house, you have to make sure that development and operations...

Hi Uros! You cannot target a task to group members or groups like you want to. Tasks are targeted to classes (like Windows Computer or IIS Site or SQL DB). Since a group is basically a class you could target a task to the group but it wouldn't have the ef...

The parameter stuff was a hacky thing in MOM 2005. Service monitoring in SCOM 2007+ works differently now. Since this is probably an event rule, you have no such information attached to the event. I'm curious, which management pack contains this rule?

If the "Service or Driver failed" rule is an event rule, I guess you're out of luck. It will be triggered by the event and not by the service monitoring module. Only the service monitoring module has information about the service itself. I'm afraid the on...

Hi Matty, are you using MOM 2005 or SCOM 2007? Your post isn't clear about that... In SCOM 2007 service monitoring is very different. You have a dedicated service monitor you can target to a class or use the windows service monitoring template in the auth...
