I wish there was more of a user friendly way of creating queries for SCOM group, I been working on a group of non prod SQL server DB engine from 2005 -02017. using regular expression it is so messy. wish there was a better way to build the query.

Multi-homed Gateways would allow to...
a) reduce the number of servers if you have a small number of agents within the same DMZ reporting to 2 separate Management Groups.
b) allow failover of agents from a production to a DR management group.
c) accommodate agent failover for Red Forest security scenarios.

Prior to SCOM 2012, AD Integration workflows could be run on a Management Server or on gateway in a remote domain. Beginning in 2012, the AD Publishing Pool owner performed any publishing, which removed the ability to publish SCOM containers in non trusted domains.

SCOM 2016 has a issue that becomes evident over enough time where unused space on Performance and Event Tables grows and eats up the space in the SCOM SQL Database to the point that SCOM can not perform its nightly maintenance and then a Group job across the 62 partitions needs ran to clear out this unused space. The maintenance to clear out this space should already be included to accommodate the issue where SQL 2016 changed its bulk insert.

Currently, the Maintenance Mode scheduler makes use of SQL Server Agent jobs to schedule the maintenance windows. This creates issues in highly available environments and an unnecessary dependency. Scheduled maintenance should be handled by a rule like other tasks.

Would like to have the ability to apply a rollup to the environment without visiting each server and without creating custom scripts. Simply pull down the rollup and apply to selected servers from the console.

With 1801+ the "Updates and Recommendations" node also includes 3rd Party MP's

However, I may not want these MPs to be installed (Ie Costs, etc). So when it comes to updating MPS that are already installed, I need to do them one at a time

Can we have the ability to decline MPS that we don't want to update or install?

Can we please have the ability to select more than one alert in the Web Console?

At present (v1801), you can only select one update at a time

This makes changing the likes of the Resolution State time consuming if there are a few of them..

Best way to explain is an exemple.

I put a logical drive in Maintenance Mode for 60 Min.

If my collegue put the windows Computer in maintenance WITH Child Iems for 15 min during my maintenance, My logical disk will be out of maintenance a the end on the Computer Maintenance.

Normaly i expect the maintenance on my Logical disk should be end at his scheduled end time MINIMUM never Before.

Thanks

Certain customers have a global command center that acts on alerts and health states changes. As such we would like to have a more granularity level in User Role permissions. It would be nice to restrict access to maintenance mode from operators.

There should be an option to turn on/off auditing on each of the user role types. We have a need to delegate override privileges to our users and would like to have some insight as to what they are changing and ensure the correct management packs are used for the storage of the overrides.

When upgrading agents in 1801 form the console, in the administration pane, after selecting agents there is no OK button to deploy the upgrade to selected agents. Pressing enter works and the upgrade process begins.

The ability to produce dashboards using native MS products rather than having to buy a £rd Party solution to get them.

It would be great if we could directly record all changes to SCOM (including the management packs) to a version control system, like Git

Releasing Agent URs bundled in a .mpb management pack along with a scripted Installation agent task would give the option to deploy it easily to "non manageable" servers, instead of having to do it using a deployment system like SCCM (which is not always available nor easy to use when not a SCCM admin) or even manually (which is often a long and boring process).

I actually already do it myself, it's not very difficult using VSAE, but it can't be publicly released because of licensing/terms of use.

So why not having it directly from microsoft?

The PowerShell cmdlet Export-ScomEffectiveMonitoringConfiguration will output a mis-configured CSV file and of the fields in the monitor contain a comma - such as Description (the most likely one). The cmdlet should ignore commas if finds in any fields, so the exported CSV is properly formatted.

Can you fix the bug in the sealed Management Pack for the Operations Manager under Monitoring,

You have to click Find every time when you want to find a Agent in the Agent State View to do something like Flush the Health Service / reload config/ Enable Audit Collection Etc...

(Operations Manager > Agent Details > Agent State) column this thing started from SCOM 2012 and is still SCOM 2016.

2007R2/2007 had it enabled by Default.

in the authoring space, looking at the monitors created by Management Pack Templates, if I try to sort by the date in the "Created" column, it only sorts on the first digit. that is to say 1/15/2017 comes before 9/15/2012. also in typical Microsoft fashion, 11 comes before 3, so a monitor created in November of this year is 'older' than a monitor I created in March of this year.
