mom 2005 generates thousands of blank e-mail alerts
- we've got mom 2005 as installed by forefront, with alerts being sent for antivirus activities... has anybody observed mom 2005 go bonkers and spew thousands of blank alerts each day?

Hi,
Thank you for your post.
Based on my experience, we should check each rule on MOM that has notifications enabled. The reason for the blank messages were because notification messages are generated from the alert details, hence without generating an alert the notification would be blank. To resolve this issue, we may remove the notification option and/or configuring it to generate the alert.

- thanks for your response!
that seems like a reasonable approach, however, it appears that i've got hundreds of event, alert, and performance rules to investigate! is there an easy way to view only rules where a notification response has been defined? - ok, so i figured out how to search for rules with notification responses, but... there are ~22,000 rules! i don't think it's feasible to check every rule for alert details...
Hi,
Thank you for your update.
As far as I know, you may do a search of rule groups for All Rule Types for the notification group of Operations Manager Administrators.
1) Opened MOM 2005 Administrator Console
2) Browsed down to Microsoft Operations Manager (MOMMS) --> Managment Packs -->Rule Groups
3) Right Click on Rule groups and choose Find Rules
4) All Rule Groups, Next, All Rule Types, Next, Next, Checked Notification Group and choose Operations Manager Administrators

thanks! only 21 rules set to notify the opsmgr admins... of those 21 rules, only 18 are of type = alert. so what should i adjust on these rules?Hi,
You may check “Generate alert” in the Alert tab of the properties of the related failure summary event rule so they would get an alert and e-mail with the information sent. If anything unclear, please feel free to contact us.

thanks... been out of town for a week.
i found one rule with type = event and set to generate alerts:
Microsoft Operations Manager\Operations Manager 2005\Server\MOM Server heartbeat failure
i've disabled the alert, so we'll see if the blank e-mail messages stop!
thanks again!
oops, found another few event rules with alerts set... have disabled alerts on all:
Microsoft Operations Manager\Operations Manager 2005\Server\MOM Server heartbeat failure

- ok, so restarting services hasn't fixed anything, so... i suppose it's time to call pss. how should i categorize this issue so that i'm routed to the proper team? should this be handled by the fcs or legacy mom support groups?
