Monitoring Windows 7 with Operations Manager 2007: Windows Client OS Management Pack to support Windows 7 now available

  • Article

image The Windows Client Monitoring Management Pack is built to detect, diagnose, and resolve hardware and software problems pertaining to Client 2000, XP, Vista and Windows 7 operating systems. Information and analysis on the issues that the system detected are collected by the MPs through an agent on the client machine and sent to OpsMgr where this data is converted into health state, alerts (if need be) and processed for business critical and aggregate reports. The MP gives a clear picture of catastrophic failures in your mission critical machines, trend-based alerts of significant changes to computer groups, in-depth views of health of individual machines, and reports that provide a landscape view of the health of all monitored clients.
