The SCOM Console on steroids

Wow! Got this information from an unknown person who left a comment on my blog. He told me he’s working on speeding up the start of the SCOM Console. In order to achieve that he investigated the underlying .NET Framework since the SCOM Console is a .NET application.

Soon he found some interesting stuff. Translated it to the SCOM Console and BINGO! I tried it in a couple of my SCOM test environments and the SCOM Console starts very fast now! Gone are the long delays between starting the Console and actually seeing it.

Of course, it hasn’t been officially confirmed by Microsoft (yet) so be careful. But until now it hasn’t done any harm to my SCOM test environments.

What to do:
It’s easy and a one step process.

1. Put this file (Microsoft.MOM.UI.Console.exe.config) into the same folder where the executable of the SCOM Console (Microsoft.MOM.UI.Console.exe) is located. All the file does is disabling the Authenticode check.

There is nothing more to it. Just start the SCOM Console on that computer and be amazed like me .
