MOM 2005 Notifications to specific group for specific servers only.

[Barkley Bees]

I am hoping some MOM 2005 experts might be able to give me a hand with this
one. We monitor roughly 50 servers using MOM 2005 and up until now it has
only been our core Infra servers with one notification group.

This past month we have had a request from our applications team to monitor
their servers with MOM and notify them in the event of any alerts. To
facilitate this I have taken the following actions on our MOM 2005 server:

1. Created Operator and Notfication group.
2. Installed MOM agent to said application servers.
3. Created computer group and added the application servers.
4. Created console scope added necessary operator and assigned to new
computer group from previous step.
5. Added user operator user account to 'MOM Users' and 'Distributed COM
Users' local groups on MOM server.
6. Confirmed the user can see the target servers via the Operator console.

The above so far, appears a-ok but I am left with one glaring issue which
I'm not sure how to resolve. There is no custom rule group for these
application servers as they will use the generic ones that already exist for
our Infra servers. This being the case, how do I configure MOM so that it
notifies the new Application Servers Notification group when an alert arises
for their particular servers only?

I don't want to add their notifcation group to the alert rules responses for
every existing rule so I'm hoping this is not the correct way to configure
this.

This may be some basic MOM 2005 knowledge that I am not aware of so please
accept my apologies in advance if this is the case. Appreciate any words of
wisdom.

There is no good way to do this. You either have to create a copy of the
rule groups that would be bound to the application servers with the
appropriate alert notification response. Alternately, you could put the
application servers in a different management group but that would require
management server, MOM database, etc.
