That's pretty easy... you can extend Windows Server 2003 Operating system class... and create a registry attribute for the existance of that service. Then - create a group based on that attribute = true.Anonymous

hi Kevin The problem with this approach is that the dynamic group does not include the health service of the computers being monitored. So if you create views based on the dynamic groups (or notifications), health service alerts (e.g. missed heartbeat) won't be included. See http://www.scom2k7.com/dynamic-computer-groups-that-send-heartbeat-alerts/ Cheers GrahamAnonymous

Can you give an example on how to edit the XML code in the management pack. so alert views for the dynamic group can be seen? Thanks.Anonymous

For dynamic groups is it possible to edit the XML to automatically add other objects e.g. Dynamic query finds servers on IP and then adds IIS role, and Exchange RoleAnonymous

Nice article. Question, is it possible to create a class based on discovered attribute of objects? As in your example, you created a group based on OU structure. Can I create a class (from Microsoft.Windows.LocalApplication) based on the OU structure too?Anonymous

Hi Kevin,How can we monitor the changes happening in AD OU? For eg: I want to monitor a specific AD (VIP-OU) in our enterprise for any kind of changes that happens, where we need SCOM to throws alerts. Thanks for you advice and support in advance.Regards,RBK- Anonymous
