Rating: Good for someone new to MOM and starting from scratch. Covers all the basics from planning thru to installing & using without going too deep so will get them going quickly. Not as good for those with MOM already installed or looking for indepth coverage however that being said there's still some good bits there for advanced Users sauch as: * Creating your own Management Packs * Setting up MOM for SNMP & Syslog * SQL Database & Reporting Essentials. The main downside is that it does NOT cover installing MOM2005 with SQL 2005. Even though this has only officially become supported starting a few months ago (with the release of a few hotfixes) I would imagine many new installs would be looking to use SQL2005.
