Extended Virtual Machine Discovery Management Pack

Infront released a new management pack, a while ago, for FREE, to the community via System Center Central.

http://www.systemcentercentral.com/tabid/143/indexid/94055/default.aspx?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+systemcentercentral%2Fblogs+%28Blogs+at+System+Center+Central%29

This management pack will give you a deeper insight into your virtual machines including recognising which platform (Hyper-V, VMware & Citrix), which hosts they're located on, if VM Tools are installed and the version.

(footnote. I actually wrote this post the day they released it, but forgot to post it /facepalm)

AWOL

Posts have been very light on the ground of recent I'm afraid due to just how busy I've been both at work and personally.

I'm on the road and in hotels for the next week or so and hopefully that will give me the some time to catch back up.

Some of the posts I'm hoping to get done soon will be around:

• SCOM noise and advice
• System Center installation PowerShell scripts
• Orchestrator Runbooks
• Windows 8 deployment customisation
• SCSM customisation and extension
• System Center console deployments via ConfigMgr
• Other random bits...

So hang fire, I'm still around, just stupidly busy...
