Are you using MOM 2005 or SMS 2003? Do you want to learn more about how these products can be used to do more while you do less? If so, I highly recommend that you read the free online edition of TechNet Magazine. This month’s edition feature articles on SMS 2003 and MOM 2005.
Articles include:
- Using WMI with MOM
- Zero Touch Installations
- Getting to know Windows PE
- Using MOM for SOX compliant security auditing
- System Center Operations Manager 2007 (aka MOM 2007)
When correctly deployed and used, MOM and SMS in conjunction with Windows 2003/2003 R2 can really make life simpler for the systems administrator. I’m speaking from experience here. In a past job, my team (3 of us) ran a global network of 170 servers. Most of our time was spent on engineering for new projects/systems instead of firefighting or sneakernet deployments. This would have been impossible without the solutions we had deployed.
