Ok, I thought I read somewhere about a year ago that no new products would be released without a management pack for SCOM. If this is true, where are the management packs for Windows 2008? Yes, I am running the latest server and when i went to download a management pack I found none. So should I embark on creating managment packs for windows 2008 so I can know if any of the servers are getting low on disk space, over utilizing memory or processing power, or if they just plain shut down? Or, will MS release a management pack for their latest server to be managmed by their management software?

Hi, This is the froum for Exchange. For questions about System Center Operations Manager 2007, please use the Microsoft public newsgroups for SCOM (microsoft.public.opsmgr.setup) which would be the most relevant newsgroup for your question. microsoft.public.opsmgr.setup http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.opsmgr.setup Base on my experience, MP for Windows Server 2008will be released 90 days laterwhenWindows Server 2008it published.SoWindows Server 2008 Base OS MP will be available early June.

Thanks Xiu. I actually called MS about this because I had read something about the management packs being released with the software, and they provided the answer you note above. Thanks for the help.
