During some testing that I had been working on, I ended up creating about 50 different management packs which contained some rules which I was testing how to translate from MOM 2005 to OpsMgr 2007. To clean up my lab environment I needed to delete these 50 management packs but I really didn’t want to…
We’re working on a MOM 2005 to OpsMgr 2007 migration where we are going to use the subscriptions that we define to verify our ability to send the similar types of notifications which we are currently sending via MOM 2005. As part of this we need to define a large number of subscriptions, and after…
As I continue to implement and discuss System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2, I continue to be asked questions that while they are logical enough I have never considered them. As I have seen in recent community responses to blog articles there is a wealth of experience with this product in the community so I…
Alert: Logical Disk Fragmentation Level is High Issue: I started receiving these after the functionality was added to the OpsMgr management pack. My first thought on this was cool! I can determine the level of fragmentation which exists on my various drives in the environment. The alerts first appeared as a group after a weekly…

Microsoft Management Summit 2010: This year I was fortunate to attend the Microsoft Management Summit this year. For background, if you work in the System Center product line MMS is the public Microsoft must-go-to conference of the year. I have had the pleasure of going to MMS a few times in the past, but this…
A friend of mine emailed me last week because he had to do an uninstallation of the management servers, and root management server (RMS) in an environment. He then re-installed the RMS and one of the management servers but the agents would not report to the new management servers. After debugging what he found was…
Recently, we ran into a situation where I wanted to determine how much free space was available on both the OperationsManager and OperationsManagerDW databases over a period of time. When I went to find these counters in the Operations Console / Monitoring / Microsoft SQL Server / Databases there were no counters for these database…
The best practice approach to this situation is to use Active Directory integration with Operations Manager, and to couple that with a software distribution mechanism (and/or including the OpsMgr agent in the images for new systems). Details on this process are available at: http://ops-mgr.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!3D3B8489FCAA9B51!1034.entry. Pete and Raphael wrote an article about AD Integration for large environment…
Microsoft provides a tool which provides functionality which may meet the requirements called the effective configuration viewer (available at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=a9db4dca-6716-478d-89b9-42f27ebc76a8&DisplayLang=en). The best discussion on this topic is available at http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/operationsmanagermgmtpacks/thread/74896e46-4a0b-4953-aaea-8c24ee1af975 which discusses a way to find what monitors generate alerts, and what alerts generate write actions (or mentions maybe you can query the database).
