Thanks again MBS, I got it working as I wanted.
Regarding writing a book - I understand where you are coming from, to a lesser extent. I've written several published how-to technical articles for my Triumph Spitfire. It's one thing to know that 'when I do X, I get Y' - but it is another thing entirely to be able to answer 'why do you get Y when you do X?'. For the time being, with SCOM I'm happy to know that "When I do X, I get Y". J I've got some SCOM training lined up for 2011.

In terms of figuring stuff out - you should write a book about it. I did. Learned a lot. J Regards, Michael B.

See...all my Google searching and I NEVER saw that as a solution. Thanks Dude! From: Michael B.

It really is easy. J Regards, Michael B.

I'm still learning my way around and I have a (I thought) simple task that I just can't seem to figure out. I have an alert that will email me when a server stops replying to ping. Piece of cake, not a problem. Where I'm hitting my head against the wall is that I want the alert to "nag" me every x minutes until the state is 'closed' on the alert. >From what little I'm finding on Google, this does not seem to be something easy to do. This is blowing my mind, as I'm more used to Whats Up or IPMonitor where you can tell it easily to alert you every x minutes until resolution. It just seems that this would be a basic setting in any monitoring utility. Am I missing something? Thanks!
