Monitoring Windows 7 with Operations Manager

We are really pleased to announce the release of the Windows Client OS Management Pack to support Windows 7.  You can download this from here. 

The wave of Windows 7 client support keeps rolling this week, with an update to the Client MP for Operations Manager.  This is a significant update to the Client MP that previously supported up to Vista. 

The Windows Client Monitoring Management Pack is built to detect, diagnose, and resolve hardware and software problems pertaining to Windows 2000, XP, Vista and 7 client operating systems. Information and analysis on the issues that the system detected are collected by the MPs through an agent on the client machine, and sent to OpsMgr where this data is converted into health state and /or alerts and processed for business critical and aggregate reports.

The new Client MP provides the following key features:

• Key Processor Performance Indicators
• Logical and Physical disk performance and free space
• Memory utilization
• Network health
• Health monitoring of key Windows Operating System services
• Comprehensive performance collections
• Availability and event reports
