I think with every new technology you will make initial mistakes and users (we) will always use a product differently then initialy forseen by the developers. <br /><br />The bad thing is, that these rusty cars are still running (and required). They should have been replaced a long, long time ago.<br /><br />There seem to be no maintenance on released management packs (with the exception of SQL?). And since we purchased SCOM just because of the management packs (created by those who know the best of a product) we would expect better maintenance and lifecycle policies of management packs.Marc Klaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17117855050562745338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414432572587218573.post-91504621100417502752011-09-21T07:37:54.085+02:002011-09-21T07:37:54.085+02:00May I also remark that some product groups are als...May I also remark that some product groups are also not participating quick enough in the process? For instance as far as I know there is no Print Server MP for Windows 2008 R2 and a lot of people have been asking for it and trying to get hold of product groups for some time. There are some workarounds created. I can say this is not within x days after RTM of the delivered product. This is just an example and not targetted at the specific product group.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414432572587218573.post-27838548613740580672011-09-20T14:34:00.162+02:002011-09-20T14:34:00.162+02:00Thus far I agree with this.

Some mp's are also not being updated for a long time. In some cases we have waited for years to get a SCOM 2007 version MP instead of a converted MOM mp. For some programs there should still be management packs (forefront client security for one), although they do make an mp for the newer version (fep2010). The Biztalk mp is also not one that appears in the shiny car section in my opinion.<br />I still think it is good some people write about this as only some comments in forums from people running into issues is not enough it seems. Creating awareness and starting the discussion is the most important. And hopefully this gets picked up and get streamlined by the product groups. Just my two cents.<br />Bob CornelissenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
