By the way the change in the counters is mentioned here : blogs.msdn.com/.../windows-2008-r2-performance-monitor-processor-information-counters-have-replaced-processor-counters.aspx

Another issue on this management pack is that the Processor object for server 2008 R2 is wrong.

The 2008 R2 servers use a new object named Processor information which unlike the old Processor object "registers" more than 64 cores.

This is an issue on both performance reporting and alerting on Server 2008 R2 servers.

We have sent the issue to our TAM who is looking into the case right now.

I would require disk space report like total space free space and % free space in report. Is it possible to do that? My management is eating my head to get this from SCOM. Please help me here.

Any help would be really appreciated.

@Kevin, that did the trick, i was not sure how to delete the entries, and your last post really helped me a lot. Thank you.

@GeorgeQ -

The problem is that you have created an override for "TimeOutSeconds" previous on the old MP - and this overrideable parameter was removed in the current version of the base OS mp disk monitor.

The new monitor doesnt have this exposed, so it is complaining about your override MP - no more changes can be made to it (add or delete) so you must export your override MP to XML, delete the overrides manually, and then reimport. Read through all the other comments as I talk about this for other params.

I kept on deleting the overrides but to no avail, the error message kept on popping out. Please help?

Hello Kevin,

I've received alerts from windows 2003 and windows 2008. Alert name is Available megabytes of memory is too low and the description is "The threshold for the Memory\Available MBytes performance counter has been exceeded. The value that exceeded the threshold is: 59.666666666666664." This is an example.

59% is well below value and even i'm getting alert for 47%, 45% etc.

@Vijayh - Can you be specific. Exactly which workflows, on which OS?
