We own the license actually. We own all of Sys Center for all workstations,
desktops and users. It’s part of a suite we bought.
I was thinking someone told me SCOM doesn’t scale well past a couple thousand
machines though.

I have always thought the cost was nuts. ( I haven’t looked at the cost in
years, truth be told) Yes, there are time where it make sense but for the
average PC, is the cost worth it?

Wow – I ran into one guy that ran it just for Excel. Their traders relied so
heavily upon it they needed to know right away if Excel was borked and needed
fixing/reloading.

Seriously? Every time I’ve even thought about doing that all the SCOM guys and
MS folks tell me it’s insane to even think about doing it. I only have 1000
desktops where I am now and I was told it was an insane idea.

I will get back to you in more detail when I can, but yes I have experience. In
fact, we just rolled out SCOM monitoring to 13,000 desktops.

I am beginning some research into monitoring desktops with SCOM. Does anyone
know of a good best practices document or write up on doing this? Currently
all my experience is with server monitoring. The request is typically vague at
this point but I want to at least get an overview. Checking on the current
sources now (TechNet docs) but figured I would ask if anyone knew of something
more specific. Like is it even a good idea to mix server and client monitoring
in a mid sized environment? (~1300 servers monitored currently)
Thanks,
