Hello Team: I want take a look at the MP Guide before I unleash the SCOM Agents to my stand alone, and cluster nodes Exch2007 SP2 Servers. Just want to prepare my exchange servers in case I am missing any updates/patches etc. Now where can I download the Guide? I read on some website that the guide is not available with the Exchange Server MP? Advise Please, Thank you.

Hi, you can download it here with the MP: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=e9f3cd3f-9bc0-45cd-b10f-120e937ee4c4&displaylang=en&displaylang=en http://OpsMgr.ru/

Hi, Regarding the Exchange 2007 MP guide, please also see: Operations Manager Management Pack for Exchange 2007 http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb217782(EXCHG.80).aspx Hope this helps.

Thank you Team ...... In the Admin Console under Management Packs I already see Exchange 2007 MPs there with the verison 6.0.6702.0. Do I still go ahead and download and Install the MP mentioned here or I just download the Document and read it. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=e9f3cd3f-9bc0-45cd-b10f-120e937ee4c4&displaylang=en&displaylang=en I don't have test envoirenment so want to make sure I don't break the production server. Advsie Please, Thanks.

Hi This series of articles will walk you through the install: http://www.msexchange.org/articles_tutorials/exchange-server-2007/monitoring-operations/monitoring-exchange-2007-system-center-operations-manager-2007-part1.html Additionally, this will also help: http://blogs.technet.com/b/momteam/archive/2010/02/23/exchange-2007-management-packs-do-not-automatically-monitor-exchange-servers.aspx To make sure you have all the Exchange MPs installed, I'd download the Exchange MPs to your local desktop machine and extract them. Check the list of MPs that are extracted against the MPs listed under Administration, Management Packs in the OpsMgr console just to make sure you are not missing any.

Graham: Thank you. How come this article does not include the discovery of a SCC. We are running Single Copy Cluster. http://blogs.technet.com/b/momteam/archive/2010/02/23/exchange-2007-management-packs-do-not-automatically-monitor-exchange-servers.aspx

You can get to guides and MP downloads from the MP catalog (http://pinpoint.microsoft.com/systemcenter). There are always guides for the MP's that are from Microsoft. The guidance from best practices is always use the catalog for MP downloads because you then can get the guide, learn what the setup/impact/security settings need to be, and then set up an override MP either in a test Operations Manager environment, or using a tool like Silect MP Studio. When it comes to importing into your production env, you should always have your override MP's ready at the initial import unless you want to go with an untuned management pack experience (hint: most MP's need tuning, special security settings, or overrides for performance thresholds). The in-console experience is for direct import with no pre-import-tuning. Microsoft Corporation

Hi As per this thread - http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/operationsmanagermgmtpacks/thread/84d3f941-d463-4048-bbbf-7b9e0547fd92 - "If this is a SCC cluster, the nodes are not monitored and do not show up."
