If you’ve gone to any presentations by Microsoft on System Center then you’ll have heard all the marketing blurb and TLA’s on how their solutions will manage your network and manage themselves. Well folks; it’s starting to happen now!
Microsoft recently released a SCCM 2007 configuration management pack for SCOM 2007. SCCM can used desired configuration management to audit the installation and configuration of SCOM based on the SCOM team’s recommendations. This means that SCCM will continually audit your SCOM system and you can report on non-compliance. Obviously, this pack may require some tuning for your environment because SCOM always requires some customisation.
