Personally I'd add all of this into a single MP, if the purpose is simply to discover properties and then create a group based on those properties.
You are starting to get into an advanced group authoring scenario... these should help: http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2010/07/27/authoring-groups-from-simple-to-complex.aspx From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Srikanth Thumma Sent: Tuesday, July 23, 2013 6:47 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [msmom] Reg. Modifying Group population using registry key Hi Kevin, Thanks for reply. I missed to add the reference in the second MP which I created. I have added it now. Also, do you recommend to seal the new MP I created (which has the additional registry discovery rule)? I was wondering in which section to include the 'Dynamic member' formula so that the group defined in the first sealed MP would list servers discovered by both the MP's.

Modifying Group population using registry key Hi All, We have following requirement and I request community input on how to achieve this.. scenario - 1 (Existing ) : ------------------------ 1. There is existing custom sealed MP, which has a discovery defined based on registry key. (eg. supported SQL servers based on registry entry 'abc') 2. A custom group (group-1) was defined to list these servers based on the the registry key value 3. Many custom monitors were defined and scoped to this group scenario -2 (new requirement) : ------------------------ 1. We need to discover additional set of servers based on separate registry key value ('xyz') 2. Populate these additional servers in the same group as above (group-1) My approach ------------------ 1. create a new discovery rule based on new registry key and seal it and import in SCOM (I have done this step) 2. export the existing sealed MP (from scenario -1) , Edit the xml and in Group population - dynamic member section add additional formula to include the new registry key. Issue: ------- I got stuck at step 2 in my above approach. I could not find the dynamic member section where I can add the new registry information. Is it stored in DB somewhere? Suggestion welcome ------------------------------ If my approach is wrong, can anyone please advice me on how to implement the new requirement? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Sri
