Hi Chaps,

I am currently starting to look at MOM2007, currently i am running a demo of it in a VM and reading thru the white papers on it with a view to buy it shortly if its good enough.

Does any one use this in there current environment? If so what are there views and opinions on this software.

Thanks

Andy

It's alright, just need to make sure you get all the alerts etc setup correctly else you'll either get non stop emails or nothing at all

haha..

Would you say its worth the outlay for it?

Hard to say, what kinda size estate would it be monitoring?

about 15/20 Servers, 2 SANS, 2 NAS & few other little bits.

I personally find it rather difficult to configure.

I’ve been using the MS virtual labs at the mo and it seems fairly straight forward. That said though demoing it on the test domain may proof a bit different.

I've been looking into SCOM 2007 recently myself. We have a 100ish servers and I just want a central place to monitor stuff, looks pretty complicated to me, night even have to read a book or something...arrgghh

I would have thought it was a bit overkill if you only have 15/20 servers, I think Essentials 2007 is more tailored for small businesses.

Its not too expensive so thats one of the reasons for the full SCOM2007 suite.

Interesting thoughts guys.

Ill have to get this setup and ill report back.

Thanks
