Thanks guys, can you help me with some other questions? *1.* I remmember in SCOM 2007 we had some kinds of Desktop monitoring, but now in SCOM 2012 I saw in technet docs only AEM. Is it right? I have now only AEM?
*2.* Desktop Management Pack works with AEM? or need to install SCOM agent on Desktop? *3. *If I work only with AEM, need I a client ML for each desktop? or I need Client ML just for desktops with SCOM Agent installed? *4*. Do you guys saw DELL Client Management Pack? This works fine? This brings me more details than AEM? tnx a lot, 2013/8/29 Rory McCaw <[email protected]> > We’ve done a fair amount of desktop monitoring in Point of Sale and > trading floor environments.
