Free MS SQL 2008 administrator certification
Tuesday, May 18, 2010 8:23 AM
Now that I have your attention, every SMS / ConfigMgr administrator needs to know SQL in order to support SMS/ ConfigMgr. There are no “Ifs” “ands” or “buts” about it, without SQL, ConfigMgr / SMS could not run. You could not write reports or use SSRS.

OpsMgr is a bit different than ConfigMgr, I don’t think that you need to know about Workstation, Licensing or Packaging (as much). However saying that, it should NOT make getting the OpsMgr...
