Hi all, I'm inthe process of setting up network monitoring via SCOM 2012. Unfortunately we use a lot of Cisco 5500's These are not "Certified" and in the "Generic" monitoring mode the information retrieved from the devices is useless. The level of detail is absolutely unsatisfactory and I would like to avoid to have to implement a second tool (such as solarwinds) to monitor our network devices. Does anyone have an idea, when the supported list will be extended? The last update I see is from 26/7/2012 : http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=26831 I'm using this type of switch: Cisco NX-OS(tm) n5000, Software (n5000-uk9), Version 5.1(3)N1(1), RELEASE SOFTWARE Copyright (c) 2002-2011 by Cisco Systems, Inc. Device Manager Version 5.2(2), Compiled 12/6/2011 22:00:00 Many thanks! Filip

Hi In SCOM 2012 SP1 will be more devices available.

Hey Stefan, Thanks for the update! I'm looking forward to this; hopefully our switches have been added :) Regards, Filip

How has Microsoft planned to include additional supported Network Devices? Only over Service Packs or Cumultive Updates? For example Cisco 881 Routers which exist for 2 years or so are not included (and some other Cisco Devices which are now visible only as GENERIC). If this is the case, SCOM 2012 would be totally worthless for us.
