How to Import the Office Communications Server 2007 Management Pack

For instructions about importing a management pack, see How to Import a Management Pack in Operations Manager 2007 (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=98348).

After the Office Communications Server 2007 Management Pack is imported, follow these procedures to finish your initial configuration:

  • Create a new management pack in which you store overrides and other customizations.

  • Make sure that all overrides for the Office Communications Server 2007 Management Pack are stored in this new management pack.

Create a New Management Pack for Customizations

Most vendor management packs are sealed so that you cannot change any of the original settings in the management pack file. However, you can create customizations, such as overrides or new monitoring objects, and save them to a different management pack. By default, Operations Manager 2007 saves all customizations to the default management pack. As a best practice, you should instead create a separate management pack for each sealed management pack you want to customize.

Creating a new management pack for storing overrides has the following advantages:

  • It simplifies the process of exporting customizations that were created in your test and pre-production environments to your production environment. For example, instead of exporting a default management pack that contains customizations from multiple management packs, you can export just the management pack that contains customizations of a single management pack.

  • It allows you to delete the original management pack without first needing to delete the default management pack. A management pack that contains customizations is dependent on the original management pack. This dependency requires you to delete the management pack with customizations before you can delete the original management pack. If all of your customizations are saved to the default management pack, you must delete the default management pack before you can delete an original management pack.

  • It is easier to track and update customizations to individual management packs.
