Overview
The Windows Server Operating System management pack consists of the following five management packs: Microsoft Windows Server Library, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Discovery, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Monitoring, Microsoft Windows Server 2003, and Microsoft Windows 2000 Server. The Microsoft Windows Server management packs monitor the performance, health, and availability of Windows Server 2008, 2008 R2, 2003, 2003 R2 and Windows 2000 Server.
By detecting, alerting on, and automatically responding to critical events and performance indicators, these management packs reduce resolution times for issues and increase the overall availability and performance of your systems running the Windows Server operating systems, thereby helping to reduce the total cost of ownership.
Feature Summary
- Availability
- Key Operating System Services: Required services are checked for status (for example, running, not running, or paused)
- Storage: Logical hard drives are checked for availability, sufficient free space, and integrity of the NTFS partition.
- Network: Network adapters are checked for connection health, name and IP address conflicts.
- Performance
- Processor: System processor(s) performance is checked system-wide. Processors can optionally be monitored on a per processor basis.
- Memory: Memory consisting of physical memory and virtual memory (also known as page files) is monitored using the following performance indicators:
- Available memory (in MB)
- Pages per second
- Page file percent usage
- Disks and Partitions: Logical disks/partitions and physical disks are monitored, and performance data is collected for average disk seconds per read, disk seconds per write, and disk seconds per transfer. Monitoring is also provided for fragmentation of logical disks. Depending on which version of the operating system is being monitored, either logical or physical monitoring is enabled by default. Refer to the MP guide for more detail.
- • Network Adapter: Network adapters are monitored for the number of bytes received per second, the number of bytes sent per second, and the total bytes per second. In addition, the health state of the network adapter is evaluated and is set to Healthy if connected and Critical if disconnected.

System requirements
Supported Operating Systems: Windows 2000 Server, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2
- Other Requirements: All management packs (MPs) included in this download are supported on System Center Operations Manager (OpsMgr) with Service Pack (SP) 1 and later.
The following should be considered when importing the management packs into a management group which does not have OpsMgr SP1 installed:
- The Library, Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003 specific management packs can be imported into a management group that does not have OpsMgr 2007 SP1.
- The Windows Server 2008 specific management packs are not supported, and will not import, into a management that does not have OpsMgr 2007 Service Pack 1 installed. This is due to the fact that monitoring of Windows Server 2008 is not supported without Service Pack 1.
The Windows Server Operating System Management Pack for Operations Manager 2007 is designed to monitor the following versions of the base Operating System:
- Microsoft Windows Server 2008
- Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Server
- NOTE: You need to install the English MP before you import localized language packs. All support is subject to Microsoft’s overall support lifecycle (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?Linkid=26134) and the Operations Manager 2007 SP1 Supported Configurations (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?Linkid=90676) document.
