July 31, 2009Dealing With New MP Alerts
July 30, 2009There is a thread on the OpsMgr forum about the pros and cons of having the MPs directly imported in from the web catalogue in R2. Marnix Wolf has a good post about it that summarises the issue. One of the key ones being that it bypasses the manual which is needed in most cases [...]
DFS MP
July 27, 2009The DFS MP is a converted MOM 2005 MP and as can be seen by its version number(6.0.5000.0) it is quite old. It has not been updated since being converted. There was an update but that was only to the document. The October 2008 updated release of this management pack includes the following change:

Windows 7 RTMs and Windows 2008 R2 Too
July 22, 2009Build 7600 has RTMed. I have been using the beta/RC and it is a lot smoother than Vista. Probably more important to OpsMgr readers is that Windows 2008 R2 has also RTMed. This is the first OS from Microsoft that is 64 bit only. It can support 256 logical processors. That is a lot of [...]
Free PowerShell Book
July 22, 2009If you wanted to know more about PowerShell then there is a free PDF you can download from http://powershell.com/cs/blogs/ebook/. It is called “Mastering PowerShell” and it is 567 pages long. It is written by Dr. Tobias Weltner.
It is useful to know PowerShell for OpsMgr as there are areas where it is very easy to do [...]
MMS DVD
July 21, 2009My DVD finally arrived today so I can catch up with all the sessions that I missed. The MMS was 27th April to 1st May so it has taken 11 weeks. Soon to be time for the next MMS!
Free Disk Space Report – Additional Information
July 9, 2009I have blogged about Ziemek’s free disk space report before. I have run this at a customer site and they were very impressed with the report. The MP, XML and SQL query are all available at Ziemek’s blog.
There are a number of things though that you need to be aware of.
As I mentioned previously if [...]
OpsMgr R2 Prerequisites
July 8, 2009One of the nice things about Operations Manager even from the early versions is the ability to run the prerequisite checker so you know what is required before you start the install. I recommend using this before starting to do any installs. It saves time later.
From the Quick Start Guide
When all components are selected, the [...]
MMS 2009 DVD
July 1, 2009One of the nice things about attending the MMS is that you get a DVD with all the sessions on it so that you can watch the ones that you missed. Makes it a lot easier when there are multiple sessions that you want to see. Just a pain that it takes so long. Just [...]
