I’ve never had a ‘proper’ test/development environment for System Center products. I’ve used both client systems and VMs I’d spin up through VirtualBox. That will be changing.

I placed an order a few days ago for a new server - featuring a 2.8Ghz Quad core Xeon and 12GB of ram, it will begin a brand new environment - and I’ll be screencasting all of the most relevant parts of it.

We’ll cover sizing, install, deployment, security - and move on to extending OpsMgr by utilizing the SDK service, designing custom reports - and a lot more.

In the mean time, while I painfully await the arrival of a shiny box from DHL, I’m working on the framework for 2 new side projects - one of which I think you’ll all be quite happy with; the much awaited SCOPE - System Center OpsMgr Powershell Extentions - a collaborative operation between me, Marco Shaw, Cameron Fuller, Pete Zerger and - you, possibly. We’re at the very early stages of SCOPE, and could definitely use people now and down the road - especially C# programmers and those familiar with creating PowerShell snapins. If you’d like to help, send me an email (jeremy@pavleck.net) and let me know what you can do.
