  I’ve been getting this question quite a bit, so I thought I’d give a quick answer to it.

I use the console released for SCOM RTM, and faced with a strange thing: it looks for the version 6.0.5000 (RTM) of Windows Library, it does not accept the newer version used with SCOM 2007 SP1. So it may be wise to keep a backup of older MPs at hand.

I actually keep a complete set of the library MPs for each OpsMgr release - just in case. Any MP I'm writing for customers will typically need to work with SP1 since most aren't using R2 yet.

Probably want to upgrade to the new Authoring Console though. Much better than the RTM version.

Well, I did this upgrade to R2 Authoring Console.

My fault was that I installed it on the RMS running SCOM 2007 SP1. On the next restart, SDK service crashed immediately with some strange .NET exception. :-)

I had to open a case, and MS support told me that R2 console registers new dll files, so that was a bad idea... Finally, we got repaired it with re-registering dlls needed for SDK service.

Sorry for your problem but thanks for the heads up. I didn't know about that issue.
