1. Start the Operations Manager 2007 Create Rule Wizard.

   Note
   For information about starting the Create Rule Wizard, see How to Start the Create Rule Wizard in Operations Manager 2007.

2. On the Select a Rule Type page, do the following:

   1. Expand Collection Rules, expand Performance Based, and then click WMI Performance.
      
      
   2. Select a Management pack from the list or click New to create a management pack with the Create a Management Pack Wizard.
      
      

      Note

      The rule will be added to the specified management pack; therefore, only unsealed management packs are listed. By default, when you create a management pack object, disable a rule or monitor, or create an override, Operations Manager saves the setting to the Default Management Pack. As a best practice, you should create a separate management pack for each sealed management pack you want to customize, rather than saving your customized settings to the Default Management Pack. For more information, see Default Management Pack.
