The purpose of override explorer is to simplify understanding what overrides exist in a management group

I accidentally created an override on the wrong rule, and this helped me find which rule I placed it on quickly and delete it.  Thanks a lot!

I found this site from a reference in Ops Mgr 2007 Unleashed book.  This tool rocks.

Thanks,

Hi,

I am trying to use OverrideExplorer.exe to move an override from one MP to another.  When I run the tool it works fine but it errors out when I try to move the override to a different MP.  When I complete the process the tool runs for about 20 seconds and then errors out with an Unhandled exception has occurred in your application error.  The error says "Failded to validate item" and then has the name of the override I am trying to move.  When I hit continue the tool exits and the override I was trying to move is deleted.

Any ideas on what might be causing this?

Thanks

I've been looking for any updates.  Is v3.3 still the latest ?  Really like the tool.  Any chance you would post source for Override Explorer and/or MPviewer, so those of us with an interest could learn more about how the programs do their "magic" ?

Pessoal, Muito obrigado por assistirem ao webcast que realizei hoje, eu peço desculpas pelos problemas

I used this great tool to find some overrides I had created on a custom MP that used monitors in the old (converted) MP for Windows DHCP.  Now that there's a new DHCP MP I want to remove the old one before I install the new one (as per the documentation).  When it said my custom MP depended on the old DHCP MP, I used Override Explorer to find the overrides to blame.  And I deleted them.

Unfortunately the console still won't let me delete the old MP and it says my custom MP depends on it but there's no more overrides.

Any ideas?

hi Boris,

Sure, I can send you the xml.  I can't seem to find your email address though.  Can you please provide it or email me at bruno DOT soares AT sap DOT com ?

Did you ever find the problem that Greg Brown mentioned above (8/10/08).  I have had the same problem for a long time and I keep checking to see if you have posted the fix yet.

Hi Boris,

I was trying the tool and see that it shows almost all that I need, but it doesn't list the server name of systems affect on type based view. Do you think you can create a new column that show the server name? I really need to export the list of monitor that are affected by each override. If you can share the code, I can customize it as well :)

Thank you,
