Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 Field Guide

by Andy Dominey, Garry Meaburn

Overview

Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 Field Guide is a quick reference for resolving problems that intermediate-to-advanced Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) administrators are likely to face. Authors Andy Dominey and Garry Meaburn have experience with both deploying and troubleshooting MOM in large-scale environments, and the problems and solutions they discuss are ones they have actually faced in their careers.

This book is ideal if you're already familiar with MOM, but are not yet an expert at administering it. All of the solutions and troubleshooting tips get right to the point. Furthermore, the chapters are stand-alone and can be read in any order you choose. This is a book for those who measure twice before they cut, and for those who didn't, but wish they had.
