The IIS management pack raises alerts if application pools or web applications are non-functional. In many environments it is common to have both default application pools and default web applications which are often not used but have not been removed from the environment.

I’m working with a system where I’m dual-booted between Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 on a VHD. Recently I booted to the VHD file (approximately 51 gb currently) and during the boot process it blue-screened when booting to the VHD.

Since this is one of those configurations which it’s difficult to work through in a lab (even thought it is documented in the SQL management pack guide) , the following is a screen by screen view of enabling SQL Replication Monitoring in Operations Manager. Prior to enabling this functionality, the SQL management pack replication section…
