I'm pretty new to SCOM, and I'm working through an issue that appears to be a limitation on setting overrides for unsealed Custom MP monitors/rules. My problem revolves around the fact that I've setup a 'groups' MP where all of my groups are to be stored. When I try to select a group as a target for the override, I don't get the groups defined in the 'groups' MP. In my testing so far, it seems that the only way I can select a custom group that stored in an unsealed MP, is to store it in the MP where the rule/monitor resides.
I've tried to browse other classes in the overrides menu, and I can locate the custom group in the 'groups' MP, but when I try to apply the override, I receive a 'Database Error' execption - 'Failed to validate item'.
If this is the nature of how the program is supposed to work, I'd like to hear recommendations on where to store custom groups. I'm suspecting I should be building them and storing them in the MPs where the related monitor/rule resides, or I suspect I can continue to use the 'groups' MP, but I'd need to seal it, is that correct?
