System Administrator Appreciation DaySysAdminDay.com System Administrator Appreciation DayYes today is the day greetings to all. ;-) Next Year the 10 and it is always the last Friday in July July 25th, 2008 (Last Friday Of July) 9th Annual System Administrator Appreciation Day This is a copy from the http://www.sysadminday.com/ think about this day. It's a great idea to think about your SysAdmin and thank him/her for all the great work he/her have done There are great songs :
If you can read this, thank your sysadmin A sysadmin unpacked the server for this website from its box, installed an operating system, patched it for security, made sure the power and air conditioning was working in the server room, monitored it for stability, set up the software, and kept backups in case anything went wrong. All to serve this webpage. A sysadmin installed the routers, laid the cables, configured the networks, set up the firewalls, and watched and guided the traffic for each hop of the network that runs over copper, fiber optic glass, and even the air itself to bring the Internet to your computer. All to make sure the webpage found its way from the server to your computer.
Fig. 1 Ted. A sysadmin makes sure your network connection is safe, secure, open, and working. A sysadmin makes sure your computer is working in a healthy way on a healthy network. A sysadmin takes backups to guard against disaster both human and otherwise, holds the gates against security threats and crackers, and keeps the printers going no matter how many copies of the tax code someone from Accounting prints out. A sysadmin worries about spam, viruses, spyware, but also power outages, fires and floods. When the email server goes down at 2 AM on a Sunday, your sysadmin is paged, wakes up, and goes to work. A sysadmin is a professional, who plans, worries, hacks, fixes, pushes, advocates, protects and creates good computer networks, to get you your data, to help you do work -- to bring the potential of computing ever closer to reality. So if you can read this, thank your sysadmin -- and know he or she is only one of dozens or possibly hundreds whose work brings you the email from your aunt on the West Coast, the instant message from your son at college, the free phone call from the friend in Australia, and this webpage. Show your appreciation Friday, July 25th, 2008, is the 9th annual System Administrator Appreciation Day. On this special international day, give your System Administrator something that shows that you truly appreciate their hard work and dedication. Let's face it, System Administrators get no respect 364 days a year. This is the day that all fellow System Administrators across the globe, will be showered with expensive sports cars and large piles of cash in appreciation of their diligent work. But seriously, we are asking for a nice token gift and some public acknowledgement. It's the least you could do. Consider all the daunting tasks and long hours (weekends too.) Let's be honest, sometimes we don't know our System Administrators as well as they know us. Remember this is one day to recognize your System Administrator for their workplace contributions and to promote professional excellence. Thank them for all the things they do for you and your business. SysAdmin Day Comedy

We hebben twee aparte forumtopics geopend waar je kunt discussiëren over Pwnage 2.0: Service Level Dashboard Management Pack for Operations Manager 2007We are pleased to announce the availability of the Service Level Dashboard Management Pack for Operations Manager 2007 for download on TechNet. You can download it from the following page: An online demonstration of this solution accelerator is available at: IT departments need ever more sophisticated tools to monitor the performance and availability of line-of-business (LOB) applications that make the organization run. These tools need to go beyond traditional server-based monitoring where server health equals service health. The Service Level Dashboard for System Center Operations Manager is a new Solution Accelerator that addresses the need of IT service managers for end-to-end reporting on the performance and availability of their line-of-business (LOB) applications. The accelerator provides a unique view of a business application from the user's perspective by simulating user interactions with the business application and reporting on the experience. Results are displayed on an easy to read dashboard, providing both top-level and detailed views. The top-level view reports the service level agreement (SLA) status (compliant or non-compliant) for every application being monitored. The detailed views reveal component-level information that can help administrators investigate the possible causes of noncompliance reported at the top level. Solution Accelerator Components This accelerator includes the following software components: Service Level Dashboard for System Center Operations Manager 2007 Management Pack - Executive Overview on TechNet In addition to the above guidance, there is also an online video demonstration available for this solution. Overview of the Tool The Service Level Dashboard for Operations Manager 2007 is designed to work with an existing Operations Manager infrastructure (it is assumed that Operations Manager is already configured to monitor the business-critical applications). Service Level Dashboard for Operations Manager 2007 uses the following components to gather and process additional data (see figure for reference): - SLA definitions. The IT Manager identifies and defines the SLA agreement for a given business-critical application or service. - Web application monitors and synthetic transactions. The IT administrator configures and deploys watcher nodes to perform the actions of a synthetic transaction, such as connecting to the Web site or querying the database. A Web application monitor runs on the watcher node and uses these synthetic transactions to perform actions to check availability and to measure performance of a Web page, Web site, or Web application. It does this by monitoring the web application and then changing the health state of an object associated with the web application based on the results of the synthetic transaction. It is this change in health state that the Service Level Dashboard records and reports on. The IT administrator configures the thresholds for identifying an error or warning state during a synthetic transaction. For the Service Level Dashboard for Operations Manager 2007, an error is equivalent to an availability exception, and a warning is equivalent to a performance exception. Because an unavailable application is by definition not performing as expected, availability exceptions are also factored into performance exceptions. - Distributed Application model. The IT administrator uses an Operations Manager Distributed Application (DA) model to define the application or service. Using the DA model, the IT administrator groups Web application monitors and other monitors into applications and regions for the dashboard. Operations Manager derives availability and performance percentages independently for each component object in the application model tree, based on Operations Manager's time in state for that object. Any rollup calculations are controlled by the standard DA model health rollups. - Dashboard interface. As soon as the Service Level Dashboard for Operations Manager 2007 components are configured and operating, you use the dashboard interface to analyze the SLA compliance data. The Service Level Dashboard for Operations Manager 2007 evaluates each application over the defined reporting period, determines whether the application was in or out of compliance during that period (and for how long). The dashboard then lists the application as compliant or non-compliant, based on defined service level targets.
