Today I happened to know about a good piece of article on System Center Operations Manager 2012. It was about a community driven SCOM 2012 SP1 Management Pack extensions availability for Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V performance and availability monitoring. SCOM 2012 default Hyper-V management pack less monitors and does only basic level of monitoring, but after adding downloading and importing this new management pack extension for Hyper-V monitoring I was astonished to see the massive new capabilities of SCOM to monitor my Exchange Server Virtual Machines and Hyper-V Cluster on Windows Server 2012.
If would recommend everyone who has Windows Server 2012 and SCOM, to go-ahead and add these management pack extension to see how your Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V VMs and Host are doing.
