Michael Murphy talks with Tom McCleery, the Group Manager of the EMT about how Microsoft System Center Operations Manager, the next generation of Microsoft Operations Management and successor to MOM 2005, significantly changes the way that EMT monitors its operations. They discuss how new templates and improved management pack design enables group managers to adjust their monitoring definitions and configurations without having to depend on EMT specialists. Participants: Aurora Queen – Your Show Host and TechNet Radio Producer John Weston – IT Pro Evangelist Tom McCleery – Tom is the Group Manager of the Enterprise Monitoring Team for Microsoft. He leads a team of engineers responsible for instrumenting Microsoft’s production server environment, corporate network infrastructure, and infrastructure services (i.e. AD, DNS, DHCP).
