Advanced Monitoring with System Center Operations Manager 2007 and System Center Virtual Machine Manager

This blog will now focus on advanced monitoring of heterogeneous data centers. This includes traditional physical servers, both Microsoft and non-Microsoft platforms. It will also include the virtual space, both Hyper-V as well as VMware. Lastly, it absolutely will include networking components!

Enable Agent "Act As A Proxy" in bulk via PowerShell

This script, originally posted at SystemCenterForum.org, is tremendously valuable in large ADMP environments. I just executed against 500 domain controllers while eating a bagle.

Besides Domain Controllers & Exchange servers, how do you know wich servers should have proxying enabled before you start receiving the alert?

SQL clusters are obvious. Every so often, I get a new alert to enable proxying on another box.

Good question. Unless specified in the MPs technical documentation or its something like clustering, I am not sure why occasionally an alert will be generated telling you to enable proxying on a server which does not apparenlty need it. I have experienced that too. After verifying no functionality is missing, I override the monitor for the particular node in question.
