Configure SBS 2008 monitoring

Microsoft Small Business Server 2008 emails me every half hour telling me that the DHCP server service is stopped.  How can I disable this particular message without disabling the monitoring service altogether?

Why do you want to disable that message?  SBS 2008 is designed to be running the DHCP Service.  Although not recommended, did you move it somewhere else?   If so, you need to UNINSTALL the DHCP Service and the message will stop.

I'm migrating the SBS server to Server 2016 over the next couple weeks.  DHCP has been moved to my router for the present; when I'm done with the migration I can move it to the new Server 2016 machine.

Is that the only way to disable that message?  There's no list that I can enable or disable monitoring for different services?

Thanks!  I knew I remembered seeing the setting somewhere before - but it's been years!

I will be decomissioning the entire server in a couple weeks; I would rather leave the services installed in the meantime in case there's an issue during the migration.
