Hybrid Cloud with NVGRE Whitepaper

I would like to introduce a new whitepaper titled “Hybrid Cloud with NVGRE” that is authored by my mates Kristian Nese (MVP) and Flemming Riis (MVP). Daniel Neumann and me are technical reviewers and helpers with some knowledge. Flemming also provided us with the hardware for the lab and this wouldn’t be possible without him.

Once we reach RTM, additional content will be added.

  • Site-2-Site VPN
  • Self-service and tenants with Windows Azure Pack

You can download the whitepaper from here.

You can leave any comments or questions on Kristian’s blogpost.

Version 2.3 of My Script to Download All SCOM Management Packs with PowerShell

Script is update with some small changes all contributed by Anthony Bailey:

  • Improvements on getting the confirmation link for each MP.
  • The script now also grabs the date the MP was added to Microsoft’s catalog and adds this to the logs/screen output 
  • Any duplicate download links are removed before downloading as some download pages have duplicate files in the html 
  • Improvements on check if MP is already downloaded
