Locations of OpsMgr 2007 cross-platform specific documentation

Gwen, Technical Writer for the System Center Cross Platform and Interop Connections at Microsoft,  is getting a lot of questions about cross-platform specific documentation for OpsMgr 2007.  According to Gwen, there really isn’t such a thing.  The cross-platform information is rolled into the Operations Manager 2007 R2 documentation.

But, Gwen contacted us to help get the word out about this, and gave some links that may interest you if you’re looking for this type of information..

The topics marked with * contain Cross platform specific information. This list does not include any of the related SP1 documentation.
