User doesn't want to get notifications at 3am. But at 6am they want to know, whilst singing in the shower, if any alert occurred whilst they slept. So is there a way to gather whatever alerts occurred between 1am and 5 am on System A or B and re-send those alerts via SMS at 6am? Thx, John Bradshaw

Hi John, You can write a rule that will enumerate alerts, select alerts you need and update them. 'Update' method have a side-effect: it triggers a notifications. Here is the sample. You should rewrite it as you need and test. #Get alerts # Load OpsMgr snap-inn add-pssnapin "Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.Client"; $server = "localhost" # Connect to OpsMgr - change management server to your RMS new-managementGroupConnection -ConnectionString:$Target/Host/Property[Type="Windows!Microsoft.Windows.Computer"]/PrincipalName$; set-location "OperationsManagerMonitoring::"; # Update alert custom field $alerts = get-alert -criteria 'ResolutionState = ''0''' | where-object {($_.IsMonitorAlert -eq $false)} foreach ($alert in $alerts) {if ($alert.CustomField10 -eq "") {$alert.CustomField10 = "IsRuleAlert" $alert.ResolutionState = "200" $alert.Update("")}} HTH http://OpsMgr.ru/

Thx Alexy... Would u mind explaining how the following lines relate to the part about the timing? I don't understand how to use the custom field part. Ta, JB foreach ($alert in $alerts) {if ($alert.CustomField10 -eq "") {$alert.CustomField10 = "IsRuleAlert" $alert.ResolutionState = "200" $alert.Update("")}}
