This site is written by Robert Sprague who is the Powershell guy on the OM Product team. This site is an excellent source of information and sample scripts for using the Operations Manager Command Shell.

In the MOM 2005 version of the Exchange Management Pack, there was a script issue with the OWA logon script. It detected the OWA site from IIS but this did not work if you were using a custom URL and HTTPS with certificates. Basically, the script would get the servername and try and access it but as the name did not match the certificate, the logon would fail.
The following process could be used to edit the script to resolve the issue:
1. Locate lines 720 through 723 in the Exchange 2003 - OWA logon verification script (shown in the following code snippet).
if (OWALogon(strMailbox, TIME_OUT_THRESHOLD, "", objLogonResult) == "Quit")
break MainRoutine;
bAllLogonsSucceed = objLogonResult.value;
2. Comment out the lines, as shown in the following code:
// if (OWALogon(strMailbox, TIME_OUT_THRESHOLD, "", objLogonResult) == "Quit")
// break MainRoutine;
// bAllLogonsSucceed = objLogonResult.value;
This issue still exists in the OM 2007 Exchange Management Pack. Unfortunately, with OM 2007, the Management Pack is sealed so the script cannot be changed to fix this. I figured I could export the MP and edit the XML but it turns out you can’t do this with sealed MP’s either (which makes sense I guess).
Microsoft are currently investigating this issue.
Thanks,

A couple of things.
Firstly, OpsMgr 07 and SQL 2005 SP2. A lot of people have asked me if this is supported and the answer is 'not officially ' at this point. The product team did not have time to adequately test SQL 2005 SP2 with OpsMgr 07 prior to RTM and whilst it may work fine, I would recommend to wait until Microsoft announce iot is officially supported before upgrading to SP2.
Also, there appears to be issues when installing OpsMgr 07 onto a Windows Server 2003 SP2 server. The issue is releated to a .NET Interop Assemby and a workaround can be found here: http://www.techlog.org/
I'll post an update as soon as I have one.
