Editorial Review:

Product Description:

This book is your most complete source for in-depth information about Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007!

System Center Operations Manager 2007 Unleashed is a comprehensive guide to System Center Operations Manager (OpsMgr) 2007. Like its MOM 2005 predecessor, OpsMgr 2007 helps you implement operations management, but with a far different and more holistic approach from MOM 2005’s focus on individual servers.

This book guides you through designing, deploying, and configuring OpsMgr 2007. You will find detailed information and hands-on experience on topics such as estimating database sizes and designing redundant OpsMgr configurations. You learn how to tackle challenges such as setting up ACS, establishing client monitoring, using and creating synthetic transactions and distributed applications, and developing management packs and reports.

• Size your OpsMgr databases
• Architect for redundancy and performance
• Install or migrate to OpsMgr 2007
• Secure OpsMgr
• Back up OpsMgr components
• Understand how monitors and rules work
• Manage different aspects, including ACS, client monitoring, synthetic transactions, and distributed applications
• Extend OpsMgr
• Develop management packs and reports

CD-ROM includes:

• Database sizing spreadsheet
• Utilities, management packs, and reports
• Microsoft’s best practices for rule and monitor targeting and PowerShell Cheat Sheet
• Live Links--more than 200 hypertext links and references to materials, connectors, sites, and newsgroups related to OpsMgr

Rating: - Pound for Pound Not Much
The index is not useful. Very difficult if not impossible to find topics of interest.

The chapters contain a lot of material that is meaningless to the technical subject. My guess is that the book size could be cut in half to 1.5 inches thick from 3 inches.

An electronic copy of the book would be handy. I did try to access the "online version" and it seemed like I was being asked to pay for each chapter that I accessed. I gave up.

Rating: - Great Book
I have been working on a project at work for months now involving System Center Operations Manager 2007 (SCOM) and I purchased this book in hopes that it would fill in some gaps from Microsoft's documentation. It has done so marvelously. This book has solved a lot of minor issues. It is clearly written, has good examples to follow and has a lot of information. I recommend anyone working with the software to pick up a copy (everyone on my project has)

This is the most comprehensive OpsMgr book on the market. This book contains more real world information than the Microsoft white papers and runs circles around the Mastering Operations Manager offering.

Operations Manager Unleashed offers excellent guidance for planning your deployment including database sizing tips. In addition topics such as deployment and operations are thoroughly covered. Insight on management pack tuning, step by step guides on alerting and some of the best advice ... Read More
