A friend of me asked me a couple of days ago how he had to view and configure the datawarehouse data retention policies in Opsmgr. I know it for MOM 2005 but for opsmgr I had to look on the Internet.

Now Daniel Savage has written on the Operations Manager Product Team Blog a post on how to view and configure the datawarehouse data retention policies in Opsmgr.

Last week Microsoft announced that scom is going cross platform!

This is a HUGE thing! Beside the Microsoft environment, many of my clients have also some Unix or Linux machines. For the linux machines they ussually use Nagios…

But now you can manage your whole datacenter from one single console with SCOM!

The connectors are in betas now and you can download them from the connect site.
