I am trying to create a group for C drive only from a Group of Servers located in another MP. My group of servers are located in MP A and C drives in Group are located in MP B. I have Sealed MP A and used as a Reference in Manifest section in my MP B.
I am using these blogs from Kevin Holman to achieve my end goal:
MP A group of servers have been created from another Group which is using the Windows Extended Class:

MP B group of disks, i am referring to:

Found this as well but MP Author is no longer available or SCOM 2019 and above:

and this:

Here is a snippet of my MP B, highlighted part is where i am targeting the "Group" from MP A:
Issue I am having is that my MP B is not populating any C drive members. Can someone have a look and tell what I have missed?
Your example should also work, the syntax should be fine.
Thanks Marius.
I have waited a few days and no members have been populated for C drive so i am missing something.
My Group for Servers do have SQL Servers populated already
I picked up the Group GUI ID from my Server Group MP as highlighted below:
it did not give me a Group Name but a GUID instead.
Thanks Marius, "Looking at your example, I don't think you need to specify the contained in Windows Computer class. Instead you should directly reference the group." -- I removed the Windows Computer Class from the second containment and it has worked. --
I'm glad it helped you. Please take some time to vote the answer or any helpful comments. Thanks
Hi,
Looking at your example, I don't think you need to specify the contained in Windows Computer class. Instead you should directly reference the group.
Also, make sure that the sealed "Group of Servers located in another MP" contains objects of type Windows Computers class. Here is an simpler example I've tested in an unsealed MP and validated that it works:
A.Group - is basically the group I want with the logical disks. B.Group - is your group that contains Windows Computer object. I am assuming you are referring to Windows since you mentioned Windows Extended but can be also for UNIX/Linux devices. Since your group is sealed make sure you have the alias prefixing the group. In your case I believe it should be "***MPforNonProdSQLServersRegKey!***B.Group". I hope it's clear.
