Answered by:
Tuning a Management Pack Using Overrides

Question
-
Apologies for positing this which may have been posted previously. I am a newbie to SCOM and I cannot find a satisfactory answer to my problem. The issue I have is:
I have overriden a MP in Authoring and created an unsealed MP with required settings and saved it. Then what? Do I disable the monitor or just leave it? Wont I get an alert from the main MP settings?
Thanks for your help.

Hi
I've put together some info on overrides here:
http://systemcentersolutions.wordpress.com/category/overrides/
Specifically for your question - don't use disable when you are setting overrides as the disable option saves the override to the default management pack which is bad practice (see url above).
Right click the rule or monitor and go to the overrides tab and enable \ disable by setting the enabled property on the override tab to false. It is a bit confusing and not very well designed to have the default location for saving overrides as the place you never want to save overrides to. This has been changed in SCOM 2012.
Cheers
