I think you are on the right track.

The only multi-tenant big deployment I have seen.... used cryptic groups as 
well "just in case" and had "Customer 1228474 Group" like that.  But when you 
have thousands of tenants, using names is problematic and coming up with a 
system is actually better.

There are some big multi-tenant guys around, but I don't think they hang out 
here.

Subject: [msmom] Groups and Sealed MPs

MSMOM,

I am building a new SCOM 2012 R2 UR9 environment for a secure multi-tenant 
platform (cloud ESX based)

I was asked about data inside management packs and I have determined in the 
normal way we use MP causes a problem.

Rule: No data pertaining to customer A can be presented on any other customer 
server.

So If I create a Unsealed MP which contains views, Groups overrides must reside 
in this MP. So an override could exist in here which means this MP is delivered 
to all Agent based servers - VERY bad

If a create a MP of Views and Group and seal it then create a overrides MP for 
that customer (without using the customer name) I can ensure no MP's are sent 
to the agents with customer information in - VERY GOOD

The other option is to name Groups and views with cryptic names - makes the GUI 
experience very poor.

My question: What are the pitfalls and has anyone used Sealed Group/View MP to 
good use? In this kind of scenario?
