Create new channel for subscriptions - REST API
When creating a new subscription, it would be nice not to rely on custom scripts but have custom HTTP API webhook to send the alert to. Webhooks seem to be a standard way in 2019, and would give a nice refreshment to next iteration of SCOM.

De-Activate and Activate a Management Pack
It would be handy to De-Activate a MP instead of deleting it. Or set a MP in maintenance.

Improve User Role (Dashboards and Views) save performance
Change permissions on Dashboards and Views takes forever to save, currently +/- 40 min. This seems to be related to the number of classes, relations and views in the database.
This must be changed. It's not a workable situation that it would take 40 minutes to change just 1 view permission in 1 role.

Fix maintenance Schedule replication on HA SQL for SCOM
With SCOM Always On sql architecture. Whenever a maintenance schedule is created it is not replicated to secondary DB. This requires manual effort with DB permissions to replicate the SQL agent job. The schedule is not effective until its replicated which eliminates the self service feature for end users. Not every one has DB permissions.

Multi-homed Gateways
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.1 vote -
AD Integration from Gateways
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.

Path, MP, Class, GUIDs, etc. Columns Needed in Numerous Screens
- Groups: Add column for MP (where group is defined/stored)
- Groups: add column to view "total members"
- Group Explicit Members: Only the DisplayName of classes appear. There are many, many duplicate class names and it's nearly impossible to select the correct one. Add columns for MP and class Name.
- Subscriptions: add column to view "subscription giud"
- Performance View: when adding specific rules to a perf view only the DisplayName of the rules appear. Add columns for Name and MP.
- Management Pack/Alert Tuning: Add path information
- State Views: Add column for class Name and Monitoring…70 votes -
Prevent running MaintenanceMode from being overwritten
Using the Maintenance Mode Scheduler that came with SCOM 2016 is pretty cool but there is no mechanism to detect if a server is already in MM. If we put a server in maintenance mode e. g. for 48 hours and someone else doesn't know this and schedules another MM let's say for 2 hours then the ealier scheduled MM of 48 hours will be overwritten and the MM ends after the 2 hours. So there should be a logic which checks if a MM is already set and how long. If the newly scheduled time period is shorter than…

SCOM 2016 should have maintenance to clear out unused space with SQL 2016
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.

Ability to decline MP Recommendations
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?

Multi Select Alerts in Web Console
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..

Remove Dependency on SQL Server Agent for SCOM 2016 Maint Mode
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.
