How do you guys recommend tuning the Terminal Services MP so that it only monitors TS Servers and not ever server that someone does a remote session into?  I keep getting the following alerts for non-TS Servers:

Alert: Terminal Services Inactive Sessions metric above baseline
Alert description: Inactive Sessions metric is above the calculated baseline. Current value is 1.66666666666667
 
Alert: Terminal Services Active Sessions metric above baseline
Alert description: Active Sessions metric is above the calculated baseline. Current value is 0.333333333333333
 
I want to monitor our TS servers so I can have an idea if they are being over/under utilized. Any thoughts???

I'm not sure if you can query if a Terminal Server is in Remote Admin Licensing or not.  If you could, that would be the most accurate way.  If not, you need to be able to build a group of the servers you want to monitor.  You can then create an override to disable the rules for all instances and create an override to enable the rule for members of your group.  I don't recall the rules regarding override precedence, but you can enforce the override on your group to make sure it takes precedence over the "all instances" override.
