server offline repeat alert
Currently when a server goes offline.. we get a "new alert"... and then a "closed" when the server is back online. Recently we missed the new alert and a server was offline for 3 days and we did not know about it. Is there a way to make that specific alert send out an alert every so often saying that the server is still offline?

There is nothing out of the box that will do this but this is an excellent blog from Jeremy which leverages a powershell script to do this (the script does it for all alerts but you could add a criteria just for missed heartbeats): http://www.pavleck.net/2008/09/scom-snippet-the-hidden-nag-mode/View OpsMgr tips and tricks at http://systemcentersolutions.wordpress.com/

Hi Create two notification with diff name in alert context and put alert aging for second alert (120min) 2 Hr if you miss alert with first notification it will send you again alert after 2 hr if the alert stay there for more that 2 hr the way given by XING or Davies are also good.Omkar umarani SCOM STUDENT
