Regular expressions are case sensitive for the most part. My users of SCOM tend to create groups and use regular expressions against the host names to get a list of servers they own.

They generally look like this:

^(xch\-|XCH\-)

This returns all Exchange servers both upper and lower case. What happens though when the object is mixed? I have one customer who couldn’t see his server that had the first letter capitalized.

The fix of course, remove the case sensitivity. Try this, it works REALLY well!

^(?i:(xch\-))
