Hurrah! Finally System Center published AVIcode Intercept Studio as another System Center product: http://www.microsoft.com/systemcenter/en/us/avicode.aspx. It's the first rather detailed news about AVIcode after acquisition. So now we can see that no "Intercept" anymore...now it's AVIcode 5.7....it's really funny that company become product...Thursday, December 16, 2010

OpsMgr: Deleting Cluster (Agentless Managed) entities after hosts have been retired
Hi!
Here is an interesting repost from System Center Central about clear decomissioning Windows Server Cluster from SCOM monitoring. It looks like that it describes pretty popular mistake of IT guys :) So, let's look what they offer to do (post of Pete Zerger):
The Problem
The company retired a clustered set of servers before I was able to remove the SCOM agent from them. They have been wiped and repurposed already, so there's no chance of getting them back.I am unable to remove the agents from the 'Agent Managed' list because I get a "Agent (hostname) is managing other devices and cannot be uninstalled. Please resolve this issue via Agentless Managed view in Administration prior to attempting uninstall again." There are cluster groups listed (as healthy, LOL!) in 'Agentless Managed' view that will not go away. I have right-clicked and hit 'Delete' and receive no error, but the entities will not delete.
How do I get rid of these entities so that I can finally delete the absent hosts?

How I meet Opalis
Hello!Yesterday I started my activity related with the new System Center product: Microsoft System Center Opalis. This product is like a BizTalk but for Data Center Automation! It orchestrates actions across a lot of IT tools which are used in the datacenter. For example we can develop our own workflow which take some specific alert information from SCOM and than apply some recovery action using SCCM or something really more complicated!
The first useful links which are must-to-know for Opalis newby is the following:
1. http://www.microsoft.com/systemcenter/en/us/opalis.aspx - Opalis Home Page at System Center site. There you can find the official info about this product download trial version etc.
Two blogs above provide a lot of integesting notes which could be useful if you want to develop your own workflows for Opalis, want to understand this solution better or develop your own Integration Pack (what is actually my case :) ).
Another interesting thing - you can find some sources on the Codeplex! Search by "Opalis" word and you will find comunity version of Opalis Integration Service and Integration Pack for the Active Directory.
