SP1 management packs: where are the guides?

Most of our management packs are released to the download center (via the Ops Manager Catalog) with a guide included. When we released Ops Manager 2007 Service Pack 1, it included a number of management packs with it, but no guides, leading a number of you to ask us: "Where are the guides?" And the corresponding guides were available as separate downloads, but had not been updated to reflect the SP1 release, which led others to frustrated confusion -- were these the the right guides for the SP1 management packs?

So we removed the separate downloads (which, in turn, frustrated those looking for them). What we're doing to straighten this out, as quickly as possible:

  1. Get the management pack guides available online in our TechCenter.
  2. Identify the changes made to each management pack in the SP1 release and update the guides with that information.
  3. Post each management pack from the SP1 release with its updated guide to the download center and the Catalog.

I'm hoping to have the SP1 management pack guides in the TechCenter within a week or so (with the SP1 change logs to be added as soon as they're complete), and will post as soon as it happens. In the meantime, if you need one of the existing (not updated for SP1) guides for any of the management packs included with SP1, email mpgfeed@microsoft.com and I'll send it to you.
