Hi I was looking for some help and advice regarding SCOM management packs Please can someone explain how to actually create a custom unsealed managemement pack to undertake monitoring of Exchange for example. I understand XML is behind management packs. But is there some third party tool to make editing these XML packs easier? Is it just a case of customising rules and alerts via XML? Once a management pack is created, do we need to install it and will it apply to all server / client machines within the specified domain. How does this work. and actually get applied to servers / clients? Any advice on management packs gratefully appreciated

scirpt.txt Hi Difficult issue if there is anyone out there that can solve? We are looking for a solution to find why user ID roaming profiles are always corrupting for different users. Simply refreshing user ID roaming profiles via attached script is a temporary fix and doesnt answer why the user ID's corrupt in the first place Background points We have a large user base 6000+ and seperated user personal SAN storage space F drive from their roaming profile within a Vista client environment. Basically getting a range of issues whereby user IDs become corrupt with a number of bespoke applications. There are hundreds of requests to refresh a user ID via their roaming profile as per the attached script. There are currently two AD groups in place regarding roaming profiles. (Not sure what these groups do exactly?) Vista users roaming group to remove users app data folder re-direction Vista profile group to assign users to new profiles location An additional AD group which deals with users personal F drive SAN space documents Vista users F drive group There are two folders associated with user IDs. Roaming, and Roaming.V2 I cant understand why user ID profiles are corrupting. The best solution the top cheifs have come up with is to refresh the roaming profile via the attached script. But this doesnt solve why these profiles corrupt in the first place? Any ideas as to why these profiles corrupt and a solution would be very much appreciated Many Thanks
