Creating Management Packs in OpsMgr 2007

There are several ways to create OpsMgr management packs:

  • You can use the Operations Console.
  • You can use templates provided in the Operations Console (new ones added with OpsMgr 2007 R2).
  • You can use the Authoring Console – which was released with OpsMgr 2007 SP1 and has been enhanced with the R2 release.

There’s a survey available regarding MP authoring at https://blogs.technet.com/momteam/archive/2010/01/15/management-pack-authoring-survey.aspx. Here’s your chance to give Microsoft feedback about MP authoring and the various tools available.

If you’re interested in a deep dive on OpsMgr authoring, Chapter 8 of the forthcoming System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 Unleashed is dedicated to MP authoring.
