Who Did That? Auditing in OrchestratorCheck if there are any *.err files
This script checks if there is any .err files in the directory. If there is any, a event is generated in the local event viewer.
Dim fso
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set folder = fso.getfolder("C:\")
For Each File in Folder.Files
If fso.GetExtensionName(File)="err" Then Const EVENT_WARNING = 2
Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
objShell.LogEvent EVENT_WARNING, _
"There are error files in " & folder
End If
Next
Count number of instances
This script checks if notepad.exe is running more that 4 times. If it is running more than 4 times a event is generated. You can then collect those event and get an alert in operators console.
strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")Set colProcesses = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = 'notepad.exe'")
If colProcesses.Count < 4 Then
Const EVENT_WARNING = 2
Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
objShell.LogEvent EVENT_WARNING, _
"There are less then 4 instances of notepad.exe running"
End If

MOM article in TechNet Magazine
In the last number (2006/09)Â of TechNet Magazine there is a couple of interesting articles about MOM
Multiple changes of rules
Mass MOM rule editor x1.0 is a tool that you can use for change/update many rules at once. You can change the following values

Book of the day
Soon there will be a new book about MOM 2005 🙂

KB Article 922332
Article 922332: How to move Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 Reporting together with the MOM Reporting database to a different computer.
Article 9223322 is about moving the SystemCenterReporting database to a new machine. In general that KB is enough, but I would like to add some information.
During step 1 you should write down all permissions that you have in your reporting console. Also document all extra SQL permissions that you have setup, for example permissions to dev department. Step 1 describe how you should use RptUtil.exe to export reports. SQL 2005 is require higher XML security so most of your SQL 2000 reports will not work in SQL 2005. There is a KB about this KB919598 too. If you don’t get reports to work with the latest MP version you can call Microsoft Product Support Services and ask them to send you latest report version.
During step 4 you are told to install MOM 2005 reporting on the target machine. To make sure MOM 2005 don’t think the old machine still is the reporting server you can run the following query in the OnePoint database “SELECT * FROM reportingsettings”. If MOM 2005 thinks there is two reporting servers you will get problems when importing reports. They will be imported but never show up in reporting console.
Be sure that you export your custom made reports during step 1, you can import them in reporting console after step 8.
Don’t forget to write down all subscriptions too. If you use subscriptions you will have to setup SMTP again.
Configuring a Report Server for E-Mail Delivery
When you try to import a Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 report file, the import process fails
Prerequisite Check Failed
Prerequisite Check Failed
When you are installating MOM 2005 Reporting Services on SQL 2005 SP1 the default settings will presumably not work. When you get to “SQL Server Reporting Services Server” there is a checkbox named “Automatically detect virtual directories”. If that box is enabled you will get the above error. Uncheck that box and fill in the input boxes with the default values, and it will work.
- Report Server Virtual Directory: ReportServer
- Report Manager Virtual Directory: Reports
Event, Alert and Performance parameters
Article ID 885725 contains all event, alert and performance parameters. Its a very good source when setting up advanced criteria.
An alert that is generated by using managed code displays the property text name instead of the event information in Microsoft Operations Manager 2005
