$SCOMCoreRules = $SCOMCoreMP.GetRules()
$SCOMCoreMonitors = $SCOMCoreMP.GetMonitors()
$SCOMCoreReportAlerts = Get-SCOMAlert | ? { ($_.Name -in $SCOMCoreRules.DisplayName) -or ($_.Name -in $SCOMCoreMonitors.DisplayName) }

$SCOMOpenReportAlerts = $SCOMCoreReportAlerts | ? { ( $_.ResolutionState -ne “255” ) }
$SCOMOpenReportAlerts.Count
# Open alerts
$SCOMCoreRuleAlerts = Get-SCOMAlert | ? { ( $_.Name -in $SCOMCoreRules.DisplayName) -AND ( $_.ResolutionState -ne “255” ) }
$SCOMCoreRuleAlerts.Count
