Unfortunately this only works on 32 bit servers but confusingly a 64 bit server also has this directory.

The client I am working with uses IBM hardware. At a previous client they also had that hardware and had downloaded the files for me. I wanted to check that I had the latest version.
The MP catalogue still says the original version but that is not always the case so I followed the link to [...]
I saw this in the newsgroup and thought it was worth passing on to a wider audience.
From Åke Pettersson [MSFT] 21st May 2008.
Hello, so let me try to give you a bit of context around what we are trying to do, and the reasons behind the schedule changes.
With the release of the updated Management Pack [...]
System Center Capacity Planner 2007 has been out for a while but it is only recently that the OpsMgr 2007 model has been released. I was looking at it to see how it stands up and used a number of clients that I have designed and sized up to see what it would come up [...]

I don’t disagree with them but you need to caveat these tips with the fact that these are tips for big systems like the blueprint I did for a 5000 agent system.
If you have 31 servers (which is one above the limit for [...]
I like the Silect product and it is nice to see they are giving away a free version. If you look at this page you can see what it does and what all the other versions do at a glance and see what functionality you are missing out on.
