System Center Operations Manager SP1 is Now Available

SCOM at RTM had a few problems that made it challenging to use in larger environments. I specifically got hit by the disjointed DNS namespace problem at one consulting client and found myself having to wait for SP1.

Well, that wait is over. SCOM SP1 is now generally available at this link.

What's new and different? Click below the fold for the short list...

This information compliments of the System Center Team Blog...

  • New capability to export Operations Manager 2007 diagrams to Microsoft Visio VDX file format.
  • New ability to publish reports to multiple locations, such as Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services Web sites.
  • Improved performance and reliability across the product, such as when working with alerts, overrides, and searches.
  • Enhanced "advanced search" by improved the ability to search across monitors and rules by their overrides.
  • Simplifying the creation of new management packs by allowing users to copy views from existing management packs to an unsealed management pack.
  • New ability view performance data through the Operations Manager Web console, and setup filters for desired performance counters to ease searching and navigation.
