February 28, 2007Slow Console
February 23, 2007I installed MOM 2005 in a system test area for a project I am working on but the console was incredibly slow. My initial thoughts was that it may be down to the virtual environment as there were a lot of guests on each machine, But investigations showed that was OK.
Doing nslookup showed that there [...]
SCE RC1
February 21, 2007System Center Essentials RC1 is now available. I won’t add more as a number of other bloggers have commented but will say it is a 589 MB download so it takes a while!

Reading the PDF it looked pretty simple to install. But it did not work and worse there was nothing in the logs even though logging [...]
John Hann AD Article on TechNet
February 2, 2007MVP John Hann has a Technet article at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/technetmag/issues/2007/02/Monitoring/default.aspx (mentioned already by Pete and Stefan).
It is a good article (especially on the tuning of the AD MP) but here are a couple of comments. John mentions using the DNS, DHCP, FRS and Windows Base MPs to extend monitoring of your AD. He does not mention [...]
