MOM Scripts

Hello again!

Some of you out there may be using MOM scripts to accomplish complex tasks that would otherwise be nigh on impossible. This post is for you to let me know if there are any MOM scripts you use that would be useful to share with others and also to let me know if there is a particular task you wish to achieve but don’t know how and I will help you if I am able.

Cheers.

What MOM articles would you like to see??

Hi,

This post is designed for you all to place feedback about what MOM articles you would like to see appear about MOM. If I get a few responses for a particular article I’ll try and get it created.

Thanks!

MOM 2005 Custom Website Monitoring Management Pack
This article includes the custom Management Pack I designed to do the job of the Microsoft Websites and Services MP but on a smaller scale and slighly easier to configure and maintain.
 
It discusses the steps required to import and configure the Management Pack and also how to install the HTTP Ping utility which actually monitors the websites in question.
 
If you would like a smaller, less complex option for monitoring your websites, check out the article here: http://www.myitforum.com/articles/2/view.asp?id=8478
