Overview of the BDD Management Pack
The Microsoft® Solution Accelerator for Business Desktop Deployment (BDD) Management Pack monitors the status of the Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003 Operating System Deployment (OSD) Feature Pack and BDD 2007 for Windows Vista™ and the 2007 Microsoft Office system (BDD 2007) deployment processes. By detecting, alerting on, and automatically responding to critical events and performance indicators, this Management Pack reduces the time required to resolve issues in SMS OSD Feature Pack and BDD 2007 deployments. As a result, when client computers are deployed using these methods, the BDD Management Pack reduces the total cost of ownership (TCO).
While the Management Pack works best when used to monitor operating system deployments that use BDD 2007, team members can still use some of the capabilities even if only using the SMS OSD Feature Pack.
Note In addition to the reports in this Management Pack, teams can use the Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) 2005 Operator console or MOM 2005 Web console to help resolve alerts, view events, view computer attributes, and so on.
