Operations Manager in 2008 Review
I was going to to this at the end of 2008 but other things got in the way. The big news was that SP1 was released in February. Not just bug fixes but enhancements with the key one speeding up the console so that it was usable. Still not a speed demon but so much …
SCCP Disappointment
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 …

Thank you for signing up for the System Center Capacity Planner 2007 Beta. We’re pleased to announce the availability of SCCP …
SCOM Performance and Scalability
The newsgroups have an announcement that the “Operations Manager 2007 Performance and Scalability White Paper” is released but only on Connect. I have asked why it is not on the main web sites as OM is an RTM product and not in beta any more. Also released on the Connect site is the updated SDK …
