Do your SCOM users need to know if a server is in scheduled maintenance?  This came about as Aris asked questions.

 First, let’s discuss specific maintenance mode and maintenance schedule scenarios users might ask.  Second, determining IF scheduled maintenance enabled, running, about to run.  Third, how does another user know when scheduled maintenance ends, allowing action and decision point to add/extend server maintenance.  Fourth, whenever scheduled maintenance entered by one user, is NOT automatically seen by other roles.  While product guidance states ‘maintenance schedules be added by someone in SCOM admin group’, self-service users still need visibility.  Lastly, can we figure out a way to answer these questions.  Given these points, users to be able to see server maintenance details.  Also, can solution adhere to best practice ‘no alerts during planned maintenance’.
