| For system administrators, ensuring that all Windows servers
are performing optimally is a tall order. The larger the
enterprise, the greater the chance for irritating,
time-consuming configuration problems. Sometimes, you can
determine the root cause of the problem yourself-but that's
only if you're lucky.
With Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM), the diagnosis is
done for you. MOM monitors server operations and
automatically notifies you of problems by sending an
immediate alert to your console, email address, or pager. To
help you better understand how MOM works, O'Reilly presents
Essential Microsoft Operations Manager.
The goal of this comprehensive tutorial is to give
first-time MOM administrators a solid foundation for
planning, implementing, and administering MOM 2005. Author
Chris Fox, a renowned MOM expert, offers the type of
practical, real-world advice that you need to improve the
performance of your IT infrastructure.
After taking you through the entire process of setting up
MOM on the network, the book moves on to more advanced
administration issues. It carefully instructs you how to
program and automate MOM and the agents that reside on the
servers themselves. You'll also learn how to manage the
scripts that determine which server agents are relevant to
report.
By capturing system data, intelligently analyzing it, and
then notifying you with a suggested course of action, MOM
makes extinguishing fires a breeze. And now, thanks to
Essential Microsoft Operations Manager, learning how to use
MOM is a breeze, too.
