When a single physical system supports multiple users, the availability of that system is more critical than that of a single user PC. To help maximize the availability of desktops running Windows Vista Enterprise Centralized Desktop, companies can use Microsoft Operations Manager to monitor the physical host system and host operating system as well as the individual VMs running on the host.
The Operations Manager Management Pack for Virtual Server can help companies to monitor their Windows Vista Enterprise Centralized Desktop environments for optimal availability. Based on knowledge and expertise from the Microsoft developers who built Virtual Server, it provides a set of monitoring rules with predefined thresholds, a built-in knowledge base with troubleshooting and resolution information, and scripts that can be used to resolve issues quickly and efficiently. Configurable processing rules built into Operations Manager can be set to notify IT staff by pager or e-mail that abnormal behavior was detected and a potential issue exists. Knowledge base information appended to the alert aids in problem resolution.
