Monitoring Windows 7 (Beta)

This blog is just to share some fun an unexpected results I had this morning. I was working on some ADI stuff and didn't exclude 'clients'. 25 minutes later, my newly provisioned, Windows 7 Beta Client was being monitored by OpsMgr. Although no MP is available, you can readily whip up some of your own rules if you choose to.

Windows 7 Beta is a Hyper-V Guest and OpsMgr correctly identified.

At first glance, AD Client Monitoring works just fine:

Lastly, a few performance collection rules came on-line nicely:

So all in all , nothing really new but for us OpsMgr guys its nice to know monitoring Windows 7, not withstanding a official MP, will be attainable and easy to demonstrate if required.
