Many people on forums claims that Import/Download Management Pack – new functionality introduced in Operations Manager 2007 R2 -- is not good solution. Main reason for that statements: I allow to import MP without reading piece of documentation. But there are others.

One of example I observe few days ago.

I had few problems with my production OpsMgr environment. It is quite small: all roles in one server, with few agents (bellow 100), with few OpsMgr Gateways (with separate domains, not trusted) and 5 independent machines connected do RMS by certificate.

I meet other issue related with that functionality. When I upgrade Windows Base OS MPs (to version 6.0.6667) I do it using Download MP. If I’m correct remember it finish with success.

But few weeks after that I recognize similar behavior like here: http://www.systemcentercentral.com/tabid/60/indexId/46870/tag/Forums/Default.aspx#vindex48005 :( It look that Agents cannot communicate with RMS.

Of course after “reinstall” – practically, for Windows 2003 MP, install first time – problem disappeared.

Awful, really?

The webservice itself to CHECK for new MPs is great. It would be even better if they'd allow people to USE it without having to reverse-engineer it, like I did here http://www.muscetta.com/2008/11/29/programmatically-check-for-management-pack-updates-in-opsmgr-2007-r2/ that way, people would know there is a new version, would go read the docs, try it in a test environment, etc etc..
