Customer Reviews & Comments
This book contains the word 'Cheating' in the title, and the only cheating is how the authors are cheating administrators out of their money. The table of contents for the book looks promising, but there is not enough meat within to make the book worthwhile. After looking through page after page of screen shots on how to install MOM 2005, there is hardly any explanation on how to configure the product. The only mention of discovery rules is made at the end of the installation section, and then it is only in reference to the 'Install/Uninstall Wizard'. If you want to control the agent installation and fine-tune the management servers, there is absolutely no discussion on configuring Agent properties, Management Server properties or any of the global settings. Let alone how to override globals settings at the server or agent level. Advanced configuration options such as configuring a multihomed agent and cross-management group communication using the MCF and MMPC are non-existent. I had hoped that the chapters on managing services such as Exchange and SQL would contain quality information, but alas, they are only rehashed discussions of the information you can read within each management pack's configuration guide.
