  Having been given the requirement to implement a configuration management system for our network, I am using MOF as my foundation. I'm starting out with the Management layer, specifically the Change Management SMF, then I'll finish out the other Managment SMF's and eventually work through the rest of the Life Cycle. So far, it's made my job a lot easier. Since I work for a small company (less then 50 employees) I will probably end up removing some of the layers in SMF as it seems to be designed for enterprises.

  Hi Chris,

  Great initiative. So, commenting your answer:

  Wonderful, less people use this approach and like you I know that helps a lot, from start to finish.

  I see that SCCM can to be align to Change and Configuration Management like a charm J, always my first step is define this process and after to use the SCCM.

   

  Since I work for a small company (less then 50 employees) I will probably end up removing some of the layers in SMF as it seems to be designed for enterprises.

  Yes, this is a MOF principle (like ITIL), you need to adapt this for you necessity. Congratulations for your initiative again.

   

  I f you no share more experience about this, feel free to post your comments here.

   

  Ps.: Did you think about use System Center Essentials? For your company size SCE will help with some thinks from SCOM 2007 and some thinks from WSUS J
