    Not sure I follow you - health explorer will show all monitors targeting a specific object of a class.... plus any rollup monitors linked by a dependency. Are you targeting a group with your monitors and hence its not working?  You cannot target groups with a workflow. Feel free to contact me directly via the contact form on the blog - might be too complicated for this forum.

    Not really on topic, but we would like to list all groups that a particular server is a member of.  Any idea on how we could do that? Thanks.

    To see all groups a computer is a member of (or any object) change "omdw" in the following query to your computername: SELECT SourceMonitoringObjectDisplayName AS 'Group' FROM RelationshipGenericView WHERE TargetMonitoringObjectDisplayName like ('%omdw%') AND (SourceMonitoringObjectDisplayName IN (SELECT ManagedEntityGenericView.DisplayName FROM ManagedEntityGenericView INNER JOIN (SELECT     BaseManagedEntityId FROM          BaseManagedEntity WITH (NOLOCK) WHERE      (BaseManagedEntityId = TopLevelHostEntityId) AND (BaseManagedEntityId NOT IN (SELECT     R.TargetEntityId FROM          Relationship AS R WITH (NOLOCK) INNER JOIN dbo.fn_ContainmentRelationshipTypes() AS CRT ON R.RelationshipTypeId = CRT.RelationshipTypeId WHERE      (R.IsDeleted = 0)))) AS GetTopLevelEntities ON GetTopLevelEntities.BaseManagedEntityId = ManagedEntityGenericView.Id INNER JOIN (SELECT DISTINCT BaseManagedEntityId FROM          TypedManagedEntity WITH (NOLOCK) WHERE      (ManagedTypeId IN (SELECT     DerivedManagedTypeId FROM dbo.fn_DerivedManagedTypes(dbo.fn_ManagedTypeId_Group()) AS fn_DerivedManagedTypes_1))) AS GetOnlyGroups ON GetOnlyGroups.BaseManagedEntityId = ManagedEntityGenericView.Id)) ORDER BY 'Group'

    Thanks for that Kevin, much appreciated. I think I'll create a report to put it in. Following on from that, would you also be able to tell me how we could get a listing of all Subscriptions containing a particular Group?

    Just want to add a note that might be useful to some when troubleshooting Dynamic group population like the one shown here: the "Matches Wildcard" operator is CASE-SENSITIVE, as far as I know. Therefore, depending on how your machines names have been written (when windows was installed) and therefore discovered, the above sample might or might not be populating your group, so you might need to add multiple criterias matching combinations or lower and upper case characters in NetBIOS names...

    Coming back to this post a few years later... to say that on my recent OpsMgr 2012 environment, the "MatchesWildcard" now appears to correctly work by doing a case-insensitive match, unlike what I remembered from some years ago. It must have been fixed at one point, but I am not sure when.

    Absolutely correct.  I show an example of this in http://blogs.technet.com/kevinholman/archive/2008/02/01/configuring-notifications-to-include-specific-alerts-from-specific-groups-and-classes.aspx

    What if you want to query the groups from the data warehouse. The same structures don't seem to exist in the same way.
