Hi Jonathan,

Great tutorial, congratulations.

Let me know, why can I copy Management Packs from SCOM instalation folder to other folder when I can referencing the original folder directly in command line? Example:

mpseal c:\mps\input\<unsealed_mp>.xml /I "c:\mps\mp" /Keyfi

e "c:\mps\key\PairKey.snk" /Company "Your Company" /Outdir "c:\mps\output"

instead

mpseal c:\mps\input\<unsealed_mp>.xml /I "c:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager 2007\" /Keyfi

e "c:\mps\key\PairKey.snk" /Company "Your Company" /Outdir "c:\mps\output"

This is my doubt.

Tnx a lot.

Cleber

Response: The reason why I suggest creating these working directories, is because (1) not everyone will be sealing MP's directly on the RMS and (2) you may not have all required MP references to seal a custom MP in the programs directory on the RMS. If you are sealing an MP that contains, for example, an Active Directory reference, you'll need to reference that MP while sealing your custom MP. This will not be in RMS OpsMgr Program Files. You'll need to locate them. Creating these working directories on a workstation in which you'll be sealing MP's is simply an organizational practice.

I have had a few requests now for this, so I thought I would take the time to write up the process.

Can we redirect the temporary files to some directory? I mean, can I give temporary path where MPResources.resources should be created?

Hi Vamsi,

This is generated when running MPSeal, but I don’t know of a way to command the MPSeal program to create the MPResources.resources file in some other directory.

Hi Vamsi,

I figured out how and and where that MPResources.resources file is created. I added some notes at the bottom of the post to answer your question. It's in "A note to developers".
