[OpsMgr 2012] My best practice for creating overrides

Referring to my old post on best practices for creating overrides, I would just say this can be apply to SCOM 2012

• Define a naming convention
• Create only one override MP by MP to override
• Never store overrides in the "Default Management pack"
• Always override a monitor/rule for a group
• Clean the "Default MP"

In short terms, to clean up the default MP, you must :
1. Export the default MP - create a backup
2. Identify the rules, monitor, group that have been created in it

• For each rule, monitor or group, recreate them in an other MP
• Delete them from the default MP
• Delete associated Displaung

3. Identify the overrides that are stored in it

• For overrides recreate them in an other MP
• Delete them from the default MP

4. Identify the views that have been created in it

• Each view must be recreated in an other MP
• Delete them from the default MP

5. When step 1, 2 and 3 is done, delete all un-used references.
6. Re-import the Default MP
