Yeah. I know. We’re late to the party. We just got OpsMgr 2012 rolled out. If you want to skip the story time, just go to the TL;DR section. So, one of the first times I opened the console, I realized there were some events I was looking for that I wasn’t able to find. After carefully combing the console (read: frantically clicking on crap) I came to the realization that no matter which event view I chose, it was restricted to one day. After talking with one of my engineers, he suggested looking at this article http://www.opsman.co.za/how-to-search-for-more-then-500-objects-in-the-scom-console-group-and-report-add-objects-fields which seems to be referring to searching objects. It did, however, lead to a very useful registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Operations Manager\3.0\Console\ConsoleUserSettings I don’t know what most of these settings do and quite frankly don’t want to figure it out. There are, however, two registry values of particular interest:
notes, ramblings, contemplations, transmutations, and otherwise ... on management and directory miscellanea.
