Release Candidate for R2

March 26, 2009

As we get closer to the MMS at the end of April we are getting closer to the release of R2. Yesterday OpsMgr 2007 R2 RC (6.1.7043.0 build) was released on connect along with a bunch of documentation which will provide the foundation for the RTM documentation.

Good timing as I am back from holiday and I can install it and have a look. Usually, but not always, with a release candidate it is feature complete so it is now in the bug testing phase.

LSASS Processor Utilisation

March 5, 2009

The AD LSASS process is checked on a regular basis. There is a project at the customer site that I am at to replace the old DCs but in the meantime we have the OpsMgr agent on them. This monitor keeps on coming up a lot so I extended it to taking 5 samples instead of 3 and upped the threshold to 90% instead of 80%. Which helped. Now only a few alerts get created. Here is an interesting breach of threshold – 148%.

I bet you wish you had magic CPUs that could do more than 100%. I am not sure why they are replacing them if they can do more that 100%. :-)
