Free SCOM 2007 Training Videos -- Really Short Ones

Short is good. Sometimes the Microsoft-hosted videos are a little tough to handle when they're much more than 15 minutes long. For SCOM 2007, Stefan Stranger has compiled a long list of short videos -- all less than 10 minutes -- that explain the exact steps needed to accomplish a task in SCOM 2007. These screencasts...

...are great because they give you just what you need to know in order to accomplish a task without boring you with a bunch of unnecessary fluff.

Here's the list of videos. There are no links with these, so if you want to access them navigate to this link:
