Yesterday I presented a session at Microsoft Tech Ed Australia on service monitoring of distributed applications and systems hosted on Hyper-V and VMware ESX using System Center Operations Manager (SCOM 2007 R2) and System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM 2008 R2).

I promised to post links to relevant resources, which are below. Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions from the session.
Also, if you attended, don’t forget to fill out your evaluation form – you can win stuff, and it lets me know what you thought. Thanks!
