Configuring Cross-Platform Support for System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2

摘要

Many enterprises today run a mix of Windows servers and desktops alongside UNIX and Linux systems, with different strategies for managing them. In most cases, the Win-dows systems are placed into forests and are centrally managed, but the UNIX and Linux systems might or might not be centrally managed. Rarely are Windows systems managed alongside UNIX and Linux systems. For enterprises that do want to manage Windows systems alongside UNIX and Linux systems, there have always been third-party solutions available, but these are often complicated to install and unwieldy to use. These third-party solutions can also be costly and require significant investment in training and staffing to use successfully.
