Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 Field Guide

Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) allows the administrator to troubleshoot – and prevent – problems that may exist in Microsoft server networks. The text offers everything from an in-depth review of MOM architecture and internals to planning and deployment guidelines, to advanced troubleshooting, and integration with popular management frameworks like Tivoli. Appendices include custom upgrade guides for MOM 2000 to MOM 2005 and from MOM 2005 to MOM 2005 SP1. The problems and solutions discussed are strictly practical and real-world, based on the authors’ own experience. Rather attempting to be too comprehensive for daily use, the book is written for an audience familiar with MOM but not expert at administering it. It focuses on difficulties that are most likely to cause grief. The solutions and troubleshooting tips are concise, and to the point. The chapters are standalone and can be referenced in any order.
