In Operations Manager 2007, if a management pack's default settings contain a monitor or rule that is not necessary in your environment, you can use overrides to disable this monitor or rule. The method in this procedure lets you specify a management pack in which to create the override. If you disable a monitor or rule by using the Disable command rather than this override procedure, the setting is saved 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.
