E-mail notification messages are not sent when you use the "With specific text in description" option in Operations Manager 2007 R2 or in Operations Manager 2007 Service Pack 1
You create an Alert Notification subscription in Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 or in Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007 Service Pack 1. If you use the "With specific text in description" option, e-mail notification messages are not sent.
This problem occurs when the criteria for which you are searching is a variable.
To resolve this problem, do not use a variable in an Alert Notification description field.
The subscription module can query against the Alert fields, as those fields exist in the database.
If the description field in the database contains static text that resembles "This is Kevin's description for alert with id 55586", you can search for specific criteria by using the "With specific text in description" option to find the text "55586" because the static text "55586" is stored in the database.
If the description field in the database contains a variable, the resolved value of the variable is not stored in the database. The variable is stored in the database. For example, the description field in the database contains text with a variable that resembles "This is Kevin's description for alert with id $AlertId$", you can use the "With specific text in description" option to find the variable $AlertId$ because the variable is stored in the database. However, if you use the "With specific text in description" option to find the resolved value "55586" of the variable, the value is not found. This is because the resolved value of the variable is not stored in the database when the query is run.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
