eWEEK Labs Walk-Through: Microsoft SCOM 2007 Beta

Microsoft System Center Operations Managers new discovery process works with Microsoft’s Active Directory (shown) or independently to locate computers and network devices that can be managed.

Two machines were successfully discovered while one failed because we didn’t supply the correct log-on credentials.

Management packs from Microsoft Operations Manager work alongside new or updated packs (shown here), many of which will ship with SCOM 2007.

The new diagram view, much improved over the previous Visio integration in MOM, helped us configure the new distributed application management features.
