All,
Unlike other posters, I don't have a problem with getting alerts to send notifications. Instead, I have too MANY notifications and no way to stop them!
I have a new SCOM 2012 R2 management server installed on a virtual 2012 R2 server and a seperate SQL database running SQL 2012. This is actually a recovered server which was the result of a SQL server rename and as I'm a n00b to SCOM I'm sure that multiple things are not best practice, to say the least.
Anyway, I set up a notification channel for emails, a subscriber for my own email account and a subscription to send me an email whenever a critical alert was found. This was mainly for testing and I never intended it to be permanent, but after the recovery I can't seem to get the alert emails to stop!
When I first noticed this I went to check the subscription and was surprised to see that the subscription was currently "disabled". Rather than mess with it, I just deleted the subscription and assumed that would be the end of it (it was, after all just a test subscription, anyway). The alerts kept arriving and I deleted my subscriber account as well, but the alerts kept arriving.
I have run the get-scomsubscriptionnotification command and confirmed that the GUID for the Subscription ID in the alert emails is NOT present in the output. I know that the SCOM server is getting this subscription information from someplace, but I can't seem to find it. Any ideas where I should look? I don't want to move into production with the system if this is going to be an ongoing problem and the sheer volume of alert emails I'm getting is daunting.
