SCOM Zombie PSA#8: Default MP Countermeasure

     In Operations Manager 2007 it’s really easy to apply modifications to the default management pack. This would be all fine except that any updates or re-import to the default management pack reverts everything you have applied to it previously.

     I am not even sure how migrating to Operations Manager 2012 will affect it, other than the default management pack is removed starting in this version. And it is almost impossible in preventing zombies from making poor choices if then modify the system. So I simply counter act by renaming the default management pack.

  • I search for the default Management Pack

  • I have chosen to rename the Name to “z DO NOT USE !!!!! (Default Management Pack” and apply it.

  • When you select a destination management pack to apply your modifications it will place it down at the bottom of the list, with nice notice not to use. If you want to make the extra countermeasures step you could remove the (Default Management Pack) out all together, if you notice zombies are still using it.
