One of the things that was annouced at MMS was the Beta of InterOp. These are the connectors that allow SCOM bi-communication with TEC, HPOVO and Remedy (intially these are the only tools that InterOp will work with). We saw a demo of this working (and once I get a OV or TEC in my lab I will have some Screen Caps), and I have some conerns. This biggest of these is that you can only have one of these connectors installed and running at a time. I can somewhat understand not running HPOV and TEC at the same time, but most environments have monitoring and ticketing systems installed. I would like to see Interop allow SCOM to connect to both a ticketing system as well as different tools at the same time. Now granted this is still just the Beta and with anyluck by the time this is RTM they will have made it so we can connect both Ticketing and other monitoring systems. What we did see looked very promising, and hopefully will deliever.
