Over the last several months I have seen requests to make the CHM file for the OpsMgr SDK available for download. The UA team has just posted the bits to the download site. Here is a link you can use: http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/2/5/525fc3d0-f31c-44c8-a323-53bde80ce210/OpsMgr2007SDK.exe This package only contains the CHM file and does not contain the actual SDK assemblies. In order to use the SDK you will need to install the OpsMgr console.

System Center Operations Manager 2007 Unleashed

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 22:17:27 GMT

"Now in its third major release from Microsoft, System Center Operations Manager (OpsMgr) 2007 - the product formerly known as "MOM" - is re-engineered significantly with an orientation to end-to-end application monitoring, rather than its previous server monitoring focus. While OpsMgr is a powerful tool, it is not a piece of software that one can simply install and have working instantly. A successful implementation involves planning, design, and an understanding of how to use its management packs. Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007 Unleashed provides a comprehensive guide to this newest version of Microsoft's product, from an overview of why operations management is important, to planning, installing, and implementing OpsMgr. This comprehensive guide to OpsMgr 2007 from the authors of Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 Unleashed provides you with what you need to know about OpsMgr and what it can do for your operations. The accompanying CD is packed with valuable utilities that will help you get the most out of OpsMgr."

I had the opportunity to review a few chapters of this book and it is excellent. It is a "must have" resource for all OpsMgr administrators.
