There are a few development firms out there that have created some Apps for OpsMgr 2007 and even MOM 2005, but I haven’t seen any specific updates to OpsMgr 2012 for Windows 8 just yet. Some people use Citrix (XenApp) to access the internal applications via mobile device or PC. You can also investigate to…
Just a heads up that Windows 8 support for running the Interactive Maps will be here soon!

The Orchestrator management pack alerts on these conditions but by default it does not auto-restart these services. For a quick way to get these to auto-restart download the management pack available…
With the release of SharePoint 2013, and the acquisition of Yammer by Microsoft, the concept of Social Business has exploded…well maybe not exploded, but at least entered the lexicon of the Enterprise. This has been a long slog for SharePoint consultants. I remember when I would try and talk to customers upgrading to MOSS 2007…
