SPN warnings in SCOM

Are you getting those anoying warnings of SPN incorrect in your SCOM?

Double-clicking on Stats of Server3 you will see the SPN incorrect warning:

Well, you can avoid it by creating the correct SPN but imagine that you have dozens or hundreds of servers that need to have the SPN created? And you need to remember that new servers will need the correct SPN to be created.

So the best and quick way to get rid of those warnings is to disable the SPN monitor. This monitor comes with the respective Management Pack. Below is an example for this monitor in SQL Server Management Pack that you can find in Authoring tab / Management Pack Objects / Monitors in Operations Manager Console.

After overriding this monitor you should see a healthy Stat (it may needs few minutes to SCOM realize it):

NOTE: Only disable the SPN monitor if you don't need it. This monitor comes enabled by default but as you could see it raises only a warning and not a critical error.
