    Hi @matan alter ,

    It’s not easy to recommend anything as it entirely depends on what you have/need to monitor, you don’t get management packs just to have them.

    But most likely the basic ones like:

    • Active Directory
    • Windows Server
    • SQL Server
    • PKI (if they need to be monitored)
    • Exchange (if you use it)
    • DNS / DHCP (if you use these Windows roles)

    ----------

    Hi @matan alter ,

    want to add some other I use very frequently:

    • Microsoft IIS¨
    • Microsoft Cluster
    • DHCP
    • Windows Server File and iSCSI Servidces

    Leon has put together a great overview of the most used:

    SCOM 2019 Management Packs
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/52876.scom-2019-management-packs.aspx

    As already mentioned you install and import only ther Management Packs for the technologies you have/want to monitor. Each additional MP puts a performance penalty on your agents and your SCOM MG as they need to run discoveries from the different MPs-.

    One more thing, I would definiteley recommend you also some of the awesome community MPs that are filling some gaps:

    10 Free SCOM Management Packs
    https://squaredup.com/content/infographics/10-scom-management-packs-you-can-download-for-free/

    I very often use the SCOM Agent Managememnt Pack from Kevin Holman, the one from Tao Yang - OpsMgr Self Maintenance Management Pack.
    Also the PKI Validation MP from Raphael Buri.

    Hope this helps you out!
