In OpsMgr 2012 if you open a diagram view which has more than 50 objects, the following message will display: “The requested view will contain at least X objects and may require substantial time to render. Do you wish to continue?” For your environment this message may become annoying over time if you have larger…
Inside Central posted the podcast I had done last week on skilling up on system center 2012 including topics like: Building home lab environments for all of System Center 2012 Tricks to use when lab testing Operations Manager 2012 Check it out and I also owe a shout-out to Eric Morrison who started me on…
Since I started working with Operations Manager 2007 and Distributed Applications (DA) I’ve run across situations where when I was creating a diagram view (usually for a DA) if I had more than eight objects at a layer it would group them as healthy, warning and critical. Unfortunately, this isn’t a very intuitive view to…
II recently blogged on installing Windows Server 8 Beta as a guest operating system in my SCVMM environment, and attempting to monitor Windows Server 8 Beta with Operations Manager 2012 RC. The next logical step was to investigate backing up Windows Server 8 Beta with Data Protection Manager 2012 RC and managing it with Configuration…
[Please note, I’m sure that this is a totally unsupported configuration].

I just saw this today while I was on Amazon. For anyone wants to know – this is where my spare time is currently being spent (other than when I’m playing Skyrim of course). http://www.amazon.com/System-Center-Operations-Manager-Unleashed/dp/0672335913/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1330013707&sr=1-1
An OpsMgr administrator I have worked with for a while reached out to me with this question today: “Our web console looks to be working fine but not all performance counters that show in in the local console show up in the web console. Is this a known issue or is there something specific I…
In preparation for the upcoming OpsMgr 2012 Unleashed agents chapter it was time to get back into Unix to test out the updated cross platform monitoring in OpsMgr 2012. As discussed in previous blog posts, I use SCVMM 2012 (currently the RC version) to manage my Hyper-V servers. For my environment I needed to have…
