Tuesday Keynote: Delivering on Dynamic Systems Initiative (DSI) is a senior. 4 years old.

Delivering on Dynamic Systems Initiative (DSI) is a senior.  4 years old.  Out of 10 Harry Potter eat your heart out.  The vagueness of the dream is now coming in well defined clarity.

 

**Warning the following are my notes so they are a bit disjointed. Head for the bold keywords**

 

SDM => SML

System Definition Model is now Systems Modeling Language?

 

Microsoft has completely rewritten there licensing model to include Virtualization.   So you can create or run many instances of the windows operating system.  You are now monitored on the run time environment.  - Bob Muglia

 

Interoperability Virtualization provides the ability to run Suse or Novell, or Xen on the same box as Windows OS. 

 

Windows Server Longhorn

Most important feature of Windows server longhorn?  It's the next version - Bob Muglia

Umm yeah, that unfortunately is going to MS in trouble.  Vista is having some of the same issues.  People are not adopting the next big thing because it's next.  Where is the killer app and why would I spend my money.  MS is not entitled to our hard earned capital.  Earn it just like we do every day.  I'm sure it was just a slip and not really the sentiment he was trying get across.

 

Command line: Oclist  That keyword listd available processes like: Bitlocker, Dhcp, dns, etc

 

**8 core virtual machine.   Longhorn VM running Longhorn x64 with 8 cores.  However, the VM only had 768 megs of ram.

 

 

Virtual Machine Manager.  

Easy to use Physical to Virtual conversion. VMware or Physical host Groups.  Hot swappable between formats.   Backend is PowerShell for the Virtual machine Manager.  Same integration as available in Exchange 2007 and System Center Operations Manager.  

 

Hot News: PowerShell integration will be completed with SCCM 2007 before it is released Early September 2007.

 

Meta Models

Industry Commitment to Models

EMC2 and Cisco are partnering for systems and networking.

ANA Networking Platform is using SML.

 

Microsoft waited to provide a service desk product.  Because they believed without a SML that there was no way integrate the Help Desk software with all the server support.  They now have a model.  Woo ooo here she comes, she's a man eater!

 

System Center Operations Manager 2007

In case you missed it last Thursday.  System Center operations Manager 2007 is RTM.  Available for purchase first week of April.  (next week)

 

MOM 2005 was more or less tracking hardware.  2007 is extension to software health IF the company follows the SML.  

 

From the presentation if you read closely, they spent 1236.00 at a Tijuana Bar.  One Tequila, Two Tequila, Three Tequila, Dirty Dirty Floor!

 

Problem Path.  Allows you to highlight only items of issue and drill down to the lowest level quickly.  Grays out everything else.  neato

 

Error reporting.  Yeah so what?  Fun is the fact that you can set up a fix path so people can repeat the fix by simply clicking a button.  Think interactive knowledgebase and fix.    If the problem is repeated you can have SCOM run the task by trigger.

 

Microsoft is extending System Center Support to "Heterogeneous World"

Engyro Corportation

Quest Software

AmberPoint

Tidal Software

Centrify

Jalasoft

Opalis
