System Center Operations Manager 2007 Unleashed Reviews
Cliff Milliken. The chapters contain a lot of material that is meaningless to the technical subject. My guess is that the book size could be cut in half to 1.5 inches thick from 3 inches. The index is not useful.
I did try to access the "online version" and it seemed like I was being asked to pay for each chapter that I accessed. Very difficult if not impossible to find topics of interest. An electronic copy of the book would be handy.
I gave up.
It contains information on all areas of SCOM and general network administration, as well as helpful weblinks every few pages to internet resources on the subject. This book has been a valuable tool in both revising for 70-400 SCOM exam and maintaining my SCOM infrastructure. In most examples this book will walk you through the GUI for completing a task, and will cap it off nicely with a powershell cmdlet for those of you who like to streamline the power of two great products. A 5-Star book for a 5-star application. The only negative I've found with SCOM Unleashed is a couple grammatical errors, but I could not take a star off for this. Thanks for another great book. All levels of complexities are covered from single server deployments to huge scalable solutions. Suitable for those of you just starting with SCOM or already serious knee deep in alerts from every area of your network.
It is clearly written, has good examples to follow and has a lot of information. This book has solved a lot of minor issues. I have been working on a project at work for months now involving System Center Operations Manager 2007 (SCOM) and I purchased this book in hopes that it would fill in some gaps from Microsoft's documentation. It has done so marvelously. I recommend anyone working with the software to pick up a copy (everyone on my project has)
Think of this book like the Pocket Consultant series that Microsoft has for Exchange, Windows etc: it's not meant to be read cover to cover, but will provide you with advice at the right time. This is the most comprehensive OpsMgr book on the market.
You will have more than enough information at your fingertips to get the most out of your OpsMgr investment. (Strange that Microsoft Press doesn't have a admin companion for OpsMgr)
In short if you have already invested thousands of dollars in System Center Operations Manager, spend the extra $40 and get the best available guide for this product. Operations Manager Unleashed offers excellent guidance for planning your deployment including database sizing tips.
In addition topics such as deployment and operations are thoroughly covered. Insight on management pack tuning, step by step guides on alerting and some of the best advice on the ACS feature are included.
This book contains more real world information than the Microsoft white papers and runs circles around the Mastering Operations Manager offering.
Really Really Really it was great book. Absolutely positive. Thanks So Much Authors You can learn everything. Book includes real world experiences,tips and trics.
