    I am in the process of creating a library management pack which will be referenced by a number of other custom packs. Currently it has just a class definition and a single folder located in the root of the tree.

    If I leave the pack unsealed and import it the folder displays as expected. If I seal the pack and import it the folder does not display.

    I've checked show/hide just in case it's decided to be hidden by default but it's not there.

    Any ideas what's going on here?

    This is SCOM 2012 R2 UR12.

    Problem solved. Turns out folders in a sealed management pack aren't visible unless there's something (a view) in them. So they behave differently to folders in an unsealed pack.

    I guess this must be intentional but it really just seems to be something that would cater to bad management pack design, as in defining a bunch of folders that aren't used but leaving them in the pack and having the app automatically hide them.
