I wish you’d hook me up with a partner of PFE with experience in setting this
up for clients then.

Subject: RE: [msmom] SCOM Desktop monitoring
SCOM scales up to 15,000 agents.
The perceived performance at this scale is HIGHLY dependent on the number of
management packs in place, the number of classes, relationships, and workflows.
And scale is impacted highly by the sizing of the hardware and I/O throughput
capabilities provided (i.e… physical vs virtual, shared resources vs dedicated,
disk, CPU, and memory I/O)
In the case of typical client OS monitoring, the number of classes is very
small, as is the number of important monitoring workflows. This allows a
client OS monitoring environment to scale very well.
Client OS monitoring is fairly common. We have customers who take the scale to
the maximum supported numbers…. especially common in cases where the client OS
is a POS machine, ATM, Kiosk, etc. Even on standard user laptops and desktops,
this can provide benefit for ACS scenarios, proactive disk failure monitoring,
or performance reporting.

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,
