More good material...

Posted a couple of items that may be of interest: Exposing the MSFT_Alert Problemstate property in WMI - This is a pretty clever solution. The MSFT_Alert.Problemstate property is normally only available in the MOM .NET class library, so I was a bit surprised when, in a discussion with a colleague on momcommunity forum, he mentioned after a few hours that he has solved the problem and could now see Problemstate via WMI. This solution was devised by Bao Do, a very resourceful IT professional who currently resides in Australia. We've documented his work, which you can find HERE. Great job Bao! Agent Status and Inventory Report - I put together a report to allow easy identification of key agent properties and current agent status. This report returns a list of managed computers, agent version, primary management server and last heartbeat from a table in the Onepoint database. If last heartbeat value is older than the user selected parameter, the last heartbeat field will appear in bold red text. Results may be sorted by agent name or primary management server columns. Comes with instructions...get it HERE. Stefan also put together some stand-alone queries handy for getting a agent count per mgmt server, as well as the primary management server of a given agent, available on his blog or HERE.
