Manickam,

Let's take this offline. Please email me at rkuehfus at microsoft.com. I am going to updated the tool with some logging to help track down why its not working for you. I will email you an updated tool once its complete.

I really do appreciate you taking the time to assist in testing the tool and doing some troubleshooting.

Once I get to the bottem of this I will update my blog with a newer version of the tool.

I use the runas and it’s already member of “Operations Manager Administrators” profile. I couldn’t dig anything apart from no entry on the alert history tab. I did everything as per the document. I created a runas account called "Notification Update Alert History" and added it to default "Notification Account" profile with RMS server.

This tool may help us in many dimensions, like log who received the notification and who is account for specific alert.

Thanks,

Manickam A.

Nice catch! I will have to update the example at some point. Are you using the default action account or have you configured the notifications runas profile? If you are specifying an account in the runas profile make sure this account is an OM Admin.

Thanks Rob, that works on command line. But it's not working when I configure on SCOM.

When I configure, I use the below command line option as per the document.

/S mhnmabopmrmpv01.testom.com /N $MPElement$ /A $Data/Context/DataItem/AlertId$

Can you please confirm, if $MPElement$ is correct, as its going to give the subscription name not ID. Your document talks on subscription name and help also gives the subscription name..

********************************************************************************

C:\UpdateNotificationHistory>UpdateNotificationHistory.exe

UpdateNotificationHistory [/S[erver] <RMSservername> /N <Subscription ID> /A <Alert ID>

Example of usage:

_________________

UpdateNotificationHistory /S rms.contoso.com /N Subscriptionec3ab085_06d6_4d1a_95b2_4d79b9699b42 /A 40cd44a3-4d40-4aa9-8050-53deff0b00a2

The command above updated the alert history with the name of the subscription and recipients name.

Thanks,

It looks to be a great tool...

I tried to configure the Notifications Update Alert History Tool as per the document with Opsmgr SP1, but it looks to be not working. Is there a log ot some way I can troubleshoot this tool....

Thanks,

In SP1 you need to click on Settings, then notification to create channels.

Thanks

This is a great tool.. But not sure if it works on the 2007SP1..

I can't figure out how to create the channels??

Admin/Setting/Notification/Channel? I see only recepient and subscription..
