This course is intended to cover System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2. The training teaches you: Client Monitoring, Operations Manager Security, Monitoring VMware Servers, Monitoring Non-Windows Devices and so much more. It should also help prepare you for the 70-400 Exam. It is a very good course and Scott is very enthusiastic about the material he is teaching. His passion is very contagious.

Lessons:
System Center Operations Manager 2007 Course Introduction
Operations Manager Overview
Installing Operations Manager
Introduction to the Management Console
Post-Installation Tasks, Discovery, and Agent Deployment
Understanding and Using Management Packs
Groups, Rules, Tasks, and Monitors
Understanding Alerts, Notifications, and Distributed Application Monitoring
Monitoring Non-Windows Devices
Client Monitoring
Deploying Operations Manager Reporting and Data Warehouse
Operations Manager Security
Monitoring VMware Servers
Using the Service Level Dashboard

Lab Machines:
DC1 - Doamin Controller
SCOM1 - System Center Operations Manager Server
DB1 - SCOM Database Server
DB2 - Second SCOm Database Server
XP7 - Windows XP Client Workstation
SLES1 - SUSE Linux Enterprise Server

You can build out a lab and follow along and do all the set up and configuration with Scott. Scott provides about a dozen urls to resources you will need or for more information and jumping off points.  Literally you could spend years learning to master and tweak SCOM but this course gives you a great starting point for getting it up and running and shows you the basics of some of the customizations you can provide in your environment. It was a good course and I look forward to the 2012 SCOM course that is under development.
