Ok so….

What I’m finding is if I put the views in to a separate sealed MP (without renaming anything in the XML) the views work with no problem.

The other issue that still is alluding me is Sealing an MP that’s using NTLM Authentication for a synthetic trans. As soon as it’s exported the UserID and Password are removed from the MP. So if we reimport the XML OR the Sealed version we have no UserID.

Anyone found a work around for that?

Must be the first time I've sealed a ui generated mp.

Hi David,

I have experienced the same issue and it is resolvable but means breaking into the XML...

The views you are creating are likely done using the console.  If you look at the definition of the view you'll see it is has a GUID as the <Target> property.

.....
<Target>4b402cc4-70e2-9792-60f1-9e0fc72ad52d</Target>
</View>

The GUID is management group specific and will not work once you seal the MP.  If you change this to be the class name as in the SQL server example below all should work just fine.

.....
<Target>$MPElement[Name="Microsoft.SQLServer.ComputerGroup"]</Target>
</View>

Hope that helps,

Has anyone started sealing MPs in Operations Manager 2007 R2?

I have and have run into 2 strange problems. I’m not sure if these are user error or bugs in the system.

 

1.      Groups and views don’t seem to work as described. To repro the problem, create a Group then create a view and scope that view to use the group you just created. Export the MP, seal it then reimport it. Once that’s done open the view. If you don’t have data being returned to the view try and look at the properties of the view, do you get an error? I do every time

2.      The second I blogged about this morning (http://www.systemcentercentral.com/BlogDetails/tabid/143/IndexID/21541/Default.aspx ) and it pertains to sealed URL monitors not working when you use Authentication modes.

 

Before I start calling Microsoft PSS I’m curious if anyone else in the community is seeing these same problems.

 

Thanks,

David
