I had the interesting opportunity to work recently for a week on both my iPad and a Surface 2 RT. I’ve been using my iPad (the new iPad or the iPad 3) for over a year now and have grown to love it. For a week I worked on both devices concurrently to see how…
I haven’t upgraded to Office 2013 yet on my laptop and I recently ran into my first reason why an upgrade would be extremely helpful. Embedding a YouTube video in PowerPoint 2010 just wouldn’t work for me. I was attempting to embed the new Carl video for SCU into a PowerPoint and kept hitting walls…
As part of the process of upgrading my lab environments from Windows 2012 and System Center 2012 to Windows 2012 R2 and System Center 2012 R2 I have posted the steps that I’ve taken (or colleagues of mine have taken) in the following blogs posts so far in this series. The next step I took…
In environments with multiple management groups it’s really helpful to be able to quickly identify what management packs are different. I originally blogged on this utility at: https://www.catapultsystems.com/cfuller/archive/2012/08/30/tool-to-quickly-compare-opsmgr-and-service-manager-management-packs-versus-what-is-in-the-catalog-scom-scsm.aspx but I didn’t cover the details of how to use the tool and it took me a few minutes to remember how this worked! As a quick…

SCU 2014 is right around the corner! My third road trip is to the home of one of our simulcast locations: Minneapolis Minnesota! I’ll be at the Minnesota System Center User Group (MNSCUG) event this week (November 14th). If you are in town stop by to check out the presentation and bring with your Operations…
Are you in an environment where you are either in process or planning a multihomed upgrade for Operations Manager? You will want to keep your important management packs from your original environment but also you want to get rid of the old ones which are no longer required as there is no reason to…
I’ve ran into multiple times that I’ve needed to track these notes down so the following are my high level notes on what I’ve seen related to the Dell EqualLogic management pack. Download the software from: http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/systems-management/w/wiki/4120.dell-equallogic-storage-management-pack-suite.aspx It is required to install the main Dell management pack first. You have to discover the network device…
