You cannot extend or add properties to the HSW class. It is a "special" class and not hosted by the agent - it is hosted by the management server.
To accomplish what you desire, I'd recommend the following: 1. Create a group of Windows Computer objects based on a custom class based on Windows Computer where you add a property (similar to my example for reg keys) but use your reg key as the discovery source. 2. Use this example to create the group of ONLY HSW objects - based on the previous group membership: http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2014/04/09/creating-groups-of-health-service-watcher-objects-based-on-other-groups.aspx From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Henrik Andersen Sent: Tuesday, April 8, 2014 9:57 AM To: '[email protected]' Subject: [msmom] RE: Dynamic Group Membership using Registry Keys Hi, The actual Health Service Watcher is inherited from System.Perspective - it keeps an eye on the agent from the RMS perspective and, as I understand, there is no actual instance on the agent. So if you create a discovery that targets Health Service Watcher, you'll actually discovers the RMS x times the count of Health Service Watchers. So, I think you'll have to find another path. I can't direct you without further thinking:) /henrik From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Pete Hakesley Sent: Tuesday, April 08, 2014 4:18 PM To: MSMOM ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>) Subject: [msmom] Dynamic Group Membership using Registry Keys Hi All, I was reading Kevin Holman's blog today 'Excellent Article' http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2009/06/10/creating-custom-dynamic-computer-groups-based-on-registry-keys-on-agents.aspx about creating groups based on registry keys. I was wondering if it is possible to create the same kind of thing but for Health Service Watcher (Agent). Challenge. We use HSW as the basis for Availability reporting for this customer. The customer has asked for an availability report for all servers based in Active directory sites. However the create group wizard is not the man for this job. I have identified the Registry Key HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogin\Parameters\DynamicSiteName which seems to fit the bill. My struggle is using this to create a group of Health Service Watcher Agents and not the windows Computer Object for the Availability report. Any help appreciated.
