Customer Reviews

Not what I expected
This book will give you an overview of OM, but is far from giving you the knowledge to 'master' it.

Helpful because there are so few resources
This is not a great book. However, there are very few resources, especially third party resources, available to help you learn and administer System Center Operations Manager 2007. I'm just getting started with SCOM and I needed something to help. The documentation from MS is extremely basic and just doesn't give you enough information to make a serious impact on learning and administering your server. If you decide to look up other resources, then you'll find this book and one that isn't in print. Depending on how desperate you are, I was pretty desperate, you can pick this up. It will help. It just won't help very much. It actually gets things wrong every once in a while and parts of the book look copied and pasted from other parts and they should have done a bit more proofing and editing on these bits because they make incorrect references.
Still, it's the only game in town right now.

DONT BUY THIS.CRAPY BOOK
What a disappointment and waste of money. There is no order and the author is jumping from A to Z and Z to A. This book is totally waste. For example this book didn't even tell how to enable email alerts step by step. They forget to mention about subscriptions, key factor in email alerts. Is any other good books available. I put this book in garbage
