Cross Post: IIS Service Alerts From Servers Where IIS is not Installed

I came across this very interesting posting all about the IIS MP raises alerts on servers where IIS is not installed. Since this is a good posting I decided to cross post it where I want to point out that ALL credits go to the author of that same posting, Michael Repperger.

He writes in that posting about two possible solutions whereas the latter (to extend the IIS 7 Computer Role class, and then create groups that contain instances of it where WMSvc and IISADMIN actually exist.  Then use those to override the monitors) is more elegant.

For that last solution he shares his MP as well.

Again, all credits go to Michael Repperger
