Bulk Override to enable "Generate Alert" parameter for monitors/rules

Question

Hi Experts,
I am working on fine tuning Exchange 2010 management pack as per the monitoring requirement of the team. Most of the monitors have their workflow enabled but have the Generate Alert parameter disabled.
I was using Override Creator by Borris for enabling and disabling the workflows, but it doesnt help in creating override for Generate Alert parameter.
I almost have 700+ monitors or rule to be enabled for generating alerts is there any way i can do this using any script or any other tool?

Hi 
GenerateAlert is the property of override same
as enable, you can apply override using below script and enable all monitors to generate alert.
Import-module operationsmanager
New-SCOMManagementGroupConnection
$mps=Get-SCOMManagementPack |?{$_.name -match "sql"}
$overrideMp= Get-SCOMManagementPack -Displayname "sql.Override"
$Monitors=$mps|Get-SCOMMonitor |?{$_.xmltag -eq "UnitMonitor"}
foreach($Monitor in $Monitors)
if($Monitor.AlertSettings.AlertOnState -eq $null)
$Target= Get-SCOMClass -id $Monitors[0].Target.id
$overridname=$Monitor.name+".Override"
$override = New-Object Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Configuration.ManagementPackMonitorPropertyOverride($overrideMp,$overridname)
$override.Monitor = $Monitor
$Override.Property = ‘GenerateAlert’
$override.Value = ‘true’
$override.Context = $Target
$override.DisplayName = $overridname
$overrideMp.Verify()
$overrideMp.AcceptChanges() 
Note : you need to have override mp with name sql.Override
