SCOM: Small edit for SCC Logical Disk Extension Management Pack

This blog post is about the SCC Logical Disk Extension Management Pack.

This MP is a real nice example of a combined forces from the System Center community. It contains some extra Logical Disk collection rules and two Logical Disk reports.

Using the MP is pretty simple, but i noticed two small things.
The parameter list to select a Computer Group is not sorted. Finding the right group between more that 300 groups can be a hassle. And after generating a report the Computer Group name is shown. But as many groups are created through the Operations Console, a Display Name would be nicer.

To change this I modified the RDL file directly and notified the creators of this MP. Remember that this is not the standard method for editing SCOM reports.

For sorting the computer groups...

I changed:
SELECT FullName, DisplayName
FROM OperationsManagerDW.dbo.vManagedEntity with (nolock) where Path is null and FullName not like '%:%' and DisplayName like '%Computer%'
To:
SELECT FullName, DisplayName
FROM OperationsManagerDW.dbo.vManagedEntity with (nolock) where Path is null and FullName not like '%:%' and DisplayName like '%Computer%'
ORDER BY DisplayName
And for the table footer...

I changed:
<value>=Parameters!Group.Value</value></textbox>
To:
<value>=Parameters!Group.Label</value></textbox>
I you want, you can download the RDL file here: https://sites.google.com/site/systemcentertechblogresources/scripts/Windows.LogicalDrives.FreeSpace.Report_MichielWouters_1.0.rdl?attredirects=0&d=1
