MOM 2005 hotfixes/issues |
|
|
We are starting our rollout of MOM 2005 in our labs soon. I haven't been paying much attention to the web sites, or these forums for a month or so and am playing catch up. For those of you who have rolled MOM 2005 have you discovered any major gotcha's or issues? Is there a single site on the net that lists all the current bugs/issues with MOM 2005 so I don't have to discover them on my own?
I ask this because currently our E2K3 servers are running out of memory because of the check exchange services script. Apparently this script hits WMI pretty hard and is causing a handle leak that eventually brings the servers to their knees. We also had a mem leak with BlackBerry and another issue with ESM. Anyway, it's rather embarrassing to be the one managing MOM and not realizing it's MOM that's detecting the issues that it is causing! I don't want our server support group to give me another black eye so before I roll MOM 2005 to production I need to make sure it's 99% solid.
Other then technet and ms support, are there any sites with a cumulative list of hot fixes and known issues?
Upper management is going to want to subscribe to reports, look at a web site to see system state. In the past I never gave them access to reporting or a web console (in MOM 2000 both of these were not really that great). Going forward I have to, so I don't want to get a call from CEO Johnny Rockets asking me why the system state is green but his Exchange server is down. Again, at that point I guess I'll be surfing Dice and Monster, or dancing on Pier 39 in SF sprayed in metallic body paint.

What does your deployment look like as far as number of servers and implemented MPs? I think the performance and sizing white paper should've stated the number of events MOM can handle in addition to the number of servers.
What's this exchange services script you're talking about? I haven't seen anything like this in our enviornment... then again I haven't been looking...

Well I don't know if I have the latest E2K3 MP deployed in production, but I found out today there was a leak with one of the exchange wmi providers. They are working on a fix for us. I am not certain this is a problem with all MOM/Exchange deployments, as the Exchange support engineer asked me to send him my management pack. So chances are it does not exist any more.
I'm not concerned about sizing, because we are deploying beefy servers and have plenty of SAN disk for storage and whatnot. I was just curious what, if any, are the major gotchas that the vets have run into so far.
