No....there would actually be very little changed material. The chapter on installing OpsMgr would get updated to installing OpsMgr R2 and the various specific MP download links would change (because of version updates). Plus a handful of errata.
It's still very valid for Exchange 2010. Regards, Michael B.

Smith [mailto:mich...@smithcons.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 09, 2010 11:36 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Event Log monitoring The Operations Manager 2007 Unleashed book from SAMS is a very thorough treatment of OpsMgr. I would suggest avoiding the Sybex "Mastering SCOM 2007". I personally didn't like it. And not to toot my own horn too much, but I think my "Monitoring Exchange Server 2007 with OpsMgr 2007" is very approachable. While the overall focus is on Exchange, I also cover AD, Windows Server, DNS, IIS, and SQL monitoring. I focus on "how did I get results" and "how do I interpret results" moreso than the nitty-gritty of detail. Regards, Michael B.

SCCM was simple and the book from SYBEX was great. I dove into SCOM... and drowned. We still used Whats up Gold to monitor our network. They have an Event log plugin, but the pricing for Whats Up has gone through the roof of the past few years.

Do something by the book and it doesn't work, so you call MS and they tell you, "Oh yeah, we knew that." SCOM in 24 days would be nice.

I have SCOM deployed here and I'm looking at using it to do this right now. I have several hundred servers, but these 2 dozen-ish servers are bane of my existence right now. Our current SCOM implementation is under-utilized to put it mildly. SCOM alerts us when drives fill up, and when a server goes down - I know it can do oh so much more, but this is my first dance with SCOM and frankly I'm struggling with it. Our previous SCOM 'admin' quit shortly after my arrival, leaving me holding the bag.

The full version of SCOM may be a little overkill for 20 systems.

I have a situation where we have several production servers (mix of 2003/2008) that have had their local Administrators group membership changed over the course of a few months. Unfortunately, everyone but the janitor has local admin rights to these systems. I need to find a solution to centrally collect and alert on changes to local group membership. I can't keep up with manually checking the event logs on 20+ servers every day. I've used NetPro (now Quest) ChangeAuditor for Active Directory, but I'm looking for something that will look after a decent number of member servers.
