SCOM 2007 R2 Core MP Update & Guide Inconsistency

Last week Microsoft published a new version of the Core MP for SCOM 2007 R2, version 6.1.7695.0, see Kevin Holman's blog.

The MP Guide showed 3 new rules that where added with this version as a substitution for two monitors which you could enable and disable, respectively.

However after loading the MP in my test environment, it showed that the new rules are already enabled and the substituted monitors disabled.

Manual Reset MonitorsThe Operations Manager Management Pack contains two monitors that require manual reset of health state, which are listed below. In version 6.1.7695.0 of the management pack, rules have been included that you can ??? enable in place of those monitors. The rules generate alerts for the same conditions as the monitors.

You can disable Alert Subscription Configuration Monitor and in its place, enable the following
rules:

• Alert Subscription Configuration Critical Notification Rule, which generates a critical alert on the same critical conditions as the monitor.
• Alert Subscription Configuration Warning Notification Rule, which generates a warning alert on the same warning conditions as the monitor.

You can disable the Alert Subscription Available monitor, and in its place, enable Alert Subscription Availability Critical Notification Rule, which generates a critical alert on the
same critical conditions as the monitor.

Just wanted to let you know.
