Our first cumulative update has released for OpsMgr 2007 R2! Cumulative Update 1 contains a number of fixes for the Operations Manager 2007 R2 release. More information about what has been fixed can be found here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/974144 .
And as always RTFM! You will need to perform some additional steps:
- Update the DiscoveryEntitySPRocs.sql
- and import the Microsoft.SystemCenter.DatawareHouse.Report.Library.mp manually
Also notice that the issue with the SRSUpgradetool.exe, as described here, has been resolved now:
The following updated file that is located in the
SupportTools folder supports the upgrade from SQL Reporting Services 2005 to SQL Reporting Services 2008:
SRSUpgradeTool.exe
Note Use the appropriate platform version of this file instead of the file that is supplied in the
SupportTools folder of the Operations Manager 2008 R2 distribution media.
Hope this helps,

Today the System Center Team announced the new capabilities and price changes of the Server Management Suite Enterprise (SMSE) and Server Management Suite Datacenter (SMSD) licenses. You can read the whole article here.
Now with the SMSE and SMSD you will also get:
- System Center Service Manager Server ML as part of their active Software Assurance coverage when Service Manager will be generally available
- Opalis software will be granted to any new or existing SMSE or SMSD license with active Software Assurance coverage as of December 10, 2009
This has of course a downside on the price. The SMSE will move from $1,198* per license to $1,569* per license and the SMSD will move from $749* for each per processor license to $1,310* for each per processor license, effective July 1, 2010.
Thanks,
