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.
