Hi @matanalter-4296,

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)

Best regards,
Leon

Hi @matanalter-4296,

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!
