OpsMgr 2012 Beta: Topology Simplification

Things that I have taken away from the September 6 Video Conference.

A question I asked, was if the Maintenance Mode will allow for re-occurring scheduling for a system(s). Example a script is ran on a certain day and time each month, can we pre-schedule this in advance? If I get a response I’ll apply to the comments.

  • OM 2012 removes the RMS and makes all Management servers as Equals.
  • SDK & Configurations Services runs on all management servers
  • Console can be use any management server to connect
  • Store configuration  data in the database instead of memory
  • Faster start up and a smaller demand on local resources.
  • Server Pools  distributes the workloads across multiple management servers.

  • Some major changes to Maintenance Mode

  • A NEW ROLE – RMS Emulator; to help if a dependencies rely on a RMS such as a management pack.
  • Never place more than 50% of your Management Servers in maintenance mode at once – do half and wait until they all come out before you do the other half.

- Okay now, got some homework to do

Next Meeting: September 20, 8:00 AM PT Dashboards
