    I glad to see post talking about right way create target for monitoring, but still little disappointed to see tutorial written with 3rd party tool. You can show how do things using authoring extensions?

    Everything worked out well until I got to the part of the State View creation. Once I deployed the finished MP into my management group it never pulled in the servers into that State View. I could see them under Discovered Inventory and the class that I created. When creating that health state I pulled in the new class. Is there some other step that I missed?

    Hi Brian,

    I noticed the same thing and think I found a bug. If you view the XML of the state view you will see the Severity section. When healthy is selected it actually puts unknown. You need to change the XML from "Unknown" to "Green". Once I did this my machines started to show up.

    Hi Kevin, great blog!
    I Was wondering if it would be possible to use several targets vs monitors in 1 MP.
    My purpose is to connect certain targets to certain services. If service has reg key a/b/c then monitor services a/b/c | if a server has reg key a/d then monitor server a/d
    Is something like this possible?
