One of the advantages of the SCOM system is the accompanying Management Packs, these packages give us the ability to easily monitor all the system components automatically, but the monitoring by default is on all agents, what to do when you want to disable monitoring on some of the server group / Agents, for example, on test servers.
The way to disable discovery is to prevent the discovery of the base class in this Management Pack, when the selected member need to finds the Seed Class that would normally be Targeted to Windows Server.
In this list I have concentrated some of the basic Management Packs [In the future I will add more MPs] which shows the class name that we will set override = disable, for the test server group for example [group with Windows server objects] in one Override setting we disabled all discoveries for this group.
