All of the Management Packs for all Microsoft products are written by Microsoft. Sure, 3rd party vendors create MP's for their products as well. If you're looking to manage products from disparate vendors, how do you expect to avoid installing 3rd party software somewhere along the line?
For what its worth, the individual product teams at Microsoft are responsible for creating the management packs, not the MOM group. In other words, the Exchange team makes the Exchange MP, the AD team makes the AD MP, etc. That said, you'd be hard pressed to find ANY other application that will monitor Microsoft products as well as MOM will, since, arguably, no other vendor is going to know how to monitor Exchange as well as the Exchange team itself.

In looking at ways to monitor our exchange servers and the other 90+ servers we have when we migrate to xchange2003 I've been looking at MOM(Micosoft Operations Manager. It looks like it would do the job but again it looks like it would add more software maintenance to the servers since a lot of the MOM resource packs are from 3rd party vendors. Are any of you using it? v/r john _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
