Management Packs

Silect (https://www.silect.com)

  • What’s in a Name (or Version Number)? - With each release of Operations Manager, Microsoft updates the management packs (MPs) that are delivered with the product. Each MP has a name, which doesn’t change, and a version number that should change. As each MP is updated, the version number should be changed to indicate that there is a newer version of the MP.
  • TFS Compared to Silect Management Pack Store - Silect Store is a database used by Silect to store management packs (MPs), test results, preferences, and other information used by MP Studio. Team Foundation Server (TFS) is a source control repository from Microsoft which is used to store source code and other files. Some customers have wondered about the relative merits of using TFS to store MPs compared to Silect Store. There are some things in common between the two solutions (storing multiple versions of files in a hierarchical structure), but this report will concentrate on the differences.
  • MP Studio / MP Author Professional Version 8.2 - Silect announced the General Availability of MP Studio and MP Author Professional version 8.2. Silect made lots of updates and improvements to the products

  • SCOM: Export Effective Monitoring Configuration with PowerShell (Tyson Paul- Microsoft) - Export-SCOMEffectiveMonitoringConfiguration does not output ALL contained instance configurations even when the "-RecurseContainedObjects"  parameter is used.

If you have three logical disks (i.e. C:, D:, E:) you will only see configuration data for one of those, whichever one gets enumerated first by the cmdlet.
