I certainly have found the AM interface a lot less overwhelming and pleasant to work with as opposed to MOM although MOM 2005 SP1 is a vast improvement.

Hmm.. Plenty of good ideas, but I have to admit if you find MOM difficult and don't want to spend the time, most of the solutions talked about will have similar issues.  I admit MOM interface is terrible for what you sound like you want to do.  Then again, can it be simpler (the answer's yes, but that's another discussion.)

 

The benefit of MOM is that it comes out of the box configured with plenty of thresholds already configured from the vendor that made your directory service.  If you go looking for another product, ensure that the product you look at does the same.  If they don't you'll spend oodles of time configuring and tweaking the product. In fact, I've seen implementations that finish tweaking just in time for the next upgrade cycle ;)

Hi all

Just looking for some advice on server monitoring tools, and for DC monitoring as well as exchange monitoring

I'm currently using Argent but found it much of a hassle to setup and the predefined rules out of the box is very standard and is much more expensive than others as well.

Tried installing MOM but the gui isnt easy (havent have time to play around much)...

Any suggestions or experience on good monitoring products - preferred agentless..

 

Thank you and have a splendid day!

Kind Regards,
