Key Concepts Guide Released for Operations Manager 2007

  • Article

Earlier the Product Group released the Key Concepts Guide whitepaper that you can download from the Microsoft Download Center - https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=3a633532-1dde-49b6-930f-7df50b69b77b&displaylang=en.

This guide provides great details in understanding the following in Operations Manager 2007:

  • Overview of model-based design
  • Service models and understanding relationships
  • Health models
  • How Operations Manager implements models
  • Discovery
  • Changes between 2005 and 2007
  • Customizing the out-of-the-box models

I strongly encourage you to download and review this guide, especially as a precursor in consideration for developing your own Management Pack or custom rules to compliment an existing MP you have imported in your Management Group.  It is not intended to be a Management Pack authoring guide, so don't think I classify it as such.  There is one in the works by the Product Group, that will put the existing Authoring CHM file to shame (in my opinion).  It simply provides the foundation to understand the underlying structure of Operations Manager model-based design for Management Packs.
