Microsoft® Operations Manager 2005 Unleashed by Cameron Fuller,Chris Amaris Pdf

Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) has quickly become the premier tool for monitoring Windows-based servers and networks, and is a key piece of the Windows Server System. While MOM is a powerful tool, it is not a piece of software that one can simply install and have working instantly. A successful implementation of MOM involves planning, design, and an understanding of how to utilize its management packs. Until now there was very little information beyond the online documentation to guide IT Pros in their use of MOM. At the last several TechEd conferences MOM has been one of the most popular session topics. MOM 2005 Unleashed will be the most complete source of information available anywhere to IT pros on deploying, managing, and administering MOM. The accompanying CD is packed with tools for managing MOM, most of them created specifically for this book. The authors conclude with a look ahead at the next version, which will be so different that Microsoft has changed the name of the product to System Center Operations Manager.
