Lately I was doing some testing with users and local & global groups, did you know you can't give a user more than 1015 groups.

There is a limit in group membership. I did a yahoo and saw there a lot and lots of issues whit this problem in large sites.

Sites with more than 10k users an 500k off groups the user get a error

  Excellent info is there form microsoft  read it and there is no hotfix for this to fix this by software.

Don't give users more than 1000 groups that's a fact.

Kidaro delivers innovative virtualization solutions to address desktop computing challenges at an enterprise scale. With Kidaro, you can deploy secure, corporate-managed virtual desktops that run locally on enterprise or 3rd-party PCs, enhancing IT agility while eliminating cost and risk.

Microsoft to Expand Investment in Desktop Virtualization With Acquisition of Kidaro

Addition to Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack will provide IT professionals with capability for managing Virtual PCs across the enterprise

Turning Virtualization Into Tangible Benefits

Managing desktops across an enterprise can be time-consuming, complex and costly. Adding Kidaro’s desktop virtualization capabilities to the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack suite will provide Microsoft Software Assurance customers who have purchased the add-on subscription with the enhanced ability to do the following:

•Accelerate Windows Vista migrations by minimizing compatibility issues between applications and the operating system

•Easily deploy managed Virtual PCs to Windows desktops

•Drive business continuity by enabling rapid reconstitution of corporate desktops

•Minimize the tension between IT control and user flexibility by applying policies in locked-down corporate Virtual PCs while giving users more open access to the underlying host operating system

•Speed user adoption of desktop virtualization by making Virtual PCs “invisible” to end users

•Reduce IT investment in desktop image management by delivering virtual images independent of hardware or local desktop configuration

“Virtualization technology has tremendous potential to help companies reduce costs and increase control over their desktops, while simultaneously delivering benefits to end users,” said Kevin Brown, chief executive officer of Kidaro. “By adding Kidaro’s technology to Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack, Microsoft can deliver sophisticated virtual desktop capabilities and management to a wide variety of enterprise customers.”

We are starting a new series: OpsMgr Answer This questions. These are questions that you probably have asked yourself (or others) more than once. In this series, the writers of the System Center Operations Manager 2007 Unleashed book will offer their opinions to some of those (sometimes rhetorical) questions. The first question we are discussing is, Why should one go to Operations Manager 2007? You may be using MOM 2005 and be perfectly happy with it. There is an adage: "if it works, don't break it" - so why go to Operations Manager 2007?

Andy Dominey suggests:

• Because of all the additional functionality OpsMgr gives you (not listing them as you all know the score there).
• MSFT is heading into the enterprise management space with X-Platform and NASM and this new version of MOM lays the groundwork in the architecture to support these components later on.
• WhatsUp Gold doesn’t provide effective and synthetic monitoring of Windows applications.
• MOM 2005 will be going out of support sooner than you might think :-) (and NO we haven't heard anything about this, but you know how Microsoft works)

From John Joyner:

• Most compelling single reason = MOM 2005 only monitors servers.  OM 07 monitors both servers and applications as objects. Dependencies between monitored objects permit cross-platform event correlation that was not possible with MOM 2005.
• Management Pack availability - New applications from Microsoft and third party vendors are getting new OM 07 MPs released for them, not MOM 2005 MPs.
• Interoperability with other System Center applications - Example: VMM 2008 requires OM 07 for monitoring. Service Desk will use OM 07-style management packs.

Cameron Fuller says:

First, let's look at MOM/OpsMgr versus WhatsUp Gold: WhatsUp Gold provides an environment with up and down monitoring, gathering of events, performance information, SNMP information in the network. It also provides reporting and notification functionality. From a high level it is really a good question of why MOM or OpsMgr versus WhatsUp Gold. The key reasons to go with a MOM or OpsMgr solution versus WhatsUp Gold are: 

• Issue identification – The Microsoft solutions gather specific information to identify issues based upon the products being monitored. IE: The Exchange Management Pack gathers specific event ID information versus gathering all error level alerts on a system.
• Decreased noise – The alerts generated by MOM and OpsMgr are more targeted as a result of how issues are identified and result in less noise.
• Issue resolution – The knowledgebase contained within management packs was developed by the product team which created the product (as an example, the Exchange team helped to develop the Exchange management pack), and is combined with MCS information to provide assistance with resolving issues identified within the environment. These issues can be more quickly resolved through leveraging tasks that are also provided as part of the management packs. When issues are identified, Operations Manager provides notification to the appropriate personnel so that they can respond to the issue more expediently.
• More Proactive – Faster issue identification and issue resolution combined with product knowledge provides a more proactive monitoring solution. Let’s take as an example an Exchange issue. An issue is identified based upon the number of drive reads and writes when compared with the management pack levels for what is acceptable on the Exchange server. An alert is generated notifying that the system is not performing optimally. Additional spindles can be added or faster storage can be used to address the issue before it affects the user community.

Nice to have.

ASE PowerShell Player

The ASE PowerShell Player is a podcast and MP3 player with support for playlists and all the other features you expect of such an application. What makes the ASE PowerShell Player unique is that it is written entirely in the PowerShell Scripting Language. Images are encoded within the script and the window layout was created with the ASE ScriptForm Designer.

Included are RSS links for feeds on scripting and desktop management but you can modify those defaults very easily. Check out Episode 24 of the PowerShell Scripting Podcast for an interview with iTripoli's Steve Behrns. The use of the program itself is very simple but if you do not currently have PowerShell installed, it is naturally a requirement to run this script.

MP Implementation Webcast

At MMS in Las Vegas this month Silect Software introduced the Implementation Guide v1.0 Quick Reference, a list of best practices including a flow chart defining lifecycle management for Management Packs.  The Quick reference was so well received we have decided to share the details of it in a web presentation for those who could not attend MMS.

If you have multiple management packs, multiple management groups and multiple administrators working with Operations Manager, having a well defined process is critical to a successful implementation of Operations Manager 2007. Even with smaller implementations, having a defined process for handling change requests for management packs is critical to avoiding costly downtime, unnecessary error and even chaos.

If ITIL and MOF are important to you, if Change Management and Version control are important functions in your organization, if auditing changes in management packs is something you would like to be able to do, then this webcast could be the most important event you attend all year!

The presentation will focus on process considerations and how MP Studio features can function as the foundation for a repeatable process.

All participants who sign up for the presentation will receive a copy of the Implementation Guide v1.0 Quick Reference by email after the presentation.

Time / Date

The MP Implementation Webcast will be held Wednesday May 28^th at 11:00AM Eastern (GMT – 5:00).

Henry Wilson's MMS 2008 Conference Summary

Summary:
MMS 2008 proved to be very useful in gaining knowledge and insight into what to expect during the upgrade of SMS 2003 to SCCM 2007, the OS Deployment pack, Microsoft Deployment Toolkit, etc
While the focus of MMS 2008 appeared to be the Systems Center suite, the conference provides a very diverse number of sessions that attract Systems administrators of the many Microsoft offerings.
Attending this conference is beneficial and enabled me to meet many peers with diverse knowledge in the Systems Management and SQLServer fields. As a result, I now have access (knowledge) of new tools (web sites) and the author’s who make up these communities that unselfishly share their technical expertise.

· Are not planning to upgrade to Configuration Manager 2007 in this calendar year

· Have resources to devote time to validating scenarios in a test environment. The expected testing time investment is expected to be 2-3 days

· Have available lab resources to validate the update, including:

o SMS 2003 SP3 ENU site server computer with R2 installed. If you have a working lab that emulates the production environment closely, this is a bonus.

o One or more Vista client computers managed with, both i386 and x64 platforms

· Will report their results and/or bugs to Microsoft in a timely manner

If you are interested in helping us test this functionality, please do the following:

1. Navigate to http://connect.microsoft.com .
2. Click on the Connection Directory link at the top of the page.
