Hello,

I tried the script with an UNC (\\\C$\ and 1 (file count), RUN as PROFILE/ACCOUNT, although there are more the 1 file in the , so far I don’t see any alerts. How can I make sure my script is working properly.

Thank you,
EPA

Hi to all,
I’m a SCOM’ neophite and I’ve tried to setup this new monitor but at my console I don’t see any alert.
I’ve applied, as target,the monitor to the Windows2008 computer and created the monitor using a custom MP.
Do you have any idea how can I troubleshoot the problem?
thanks
Davide

Just enclose the UNC in quotes as a parameter?

Yes as long as you have a run as account.

Will a UNC work as a parameter instead of a logical local drive path, provided run-as profile was configured correctly?

The script is working using just Property[@Name="State"] eq BAD/GOOD, but the alert does not close it self. What do i use for HEALTHY expression?

I am still fighting with this. All i need is to monitor a folder on a network share, to see if a new file is getting added, but im not sure what to use in Unhealthy Expression. Do i need both?

Property[@Name'State'] eq BAD
Property[@Name'ret'] greater than 0

Thanks in advance!

The script looks like it will do what I need it to but how can I scope this to a single server. I have one server that I need to keep an eye on is there a way to do this in the SCOM 2007 R2 Monitor or can this script be modified to look at only one server. I am very much a rookie at scripting so any help is appreciated.

I think that the {0}
{1}
{2}
{3}”

part is because you need to re-trigger the alert. I had that happen to me too. It seems to also happen when you misspell a variable name.
