To use an override to change the setting for automatic discovery

  1. In the Authoring pane, expand Management Pack Objects, and then click Object Discoveries.

  2. On the Operations Manager toolbar, click Scope, filter the objects that appear in the details pane to include only discoveries related to the Windows Server Fax Server management pack.

  3. In the Scope Management Pack Objects by target(s) dialog type “Fax” into the text box labeled “Look For:”, select “View all targets”, and then click Select All and OK. The list of discoveries will then be scoped accordingly.

  4. Find the discovery in the list that you wish to override, select it and on the Operations Manager toolbar, click Overrides, click Override the Object Discovery, and then click “For all objects of type: …”, where “…” will be automatically replaced by the appropriate type.

  5. In the OverridesProperties dialog box, click the Override box for the Enabled parameter.

  6. Under Management Pack, click New to create an unsealed version of the Management Pack, and then click OK.

After you change the override setting, the object type will be automatically discovered and will appear in the Monitoring pane under Fax Server.

Use overrides to discover those that are not discovered automatically. For information about discovering objects, see the "Object Discoveries in Operations Manager 2007" topic in Operations Manager 2007 Help (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=108505).
