Very nice, thanks Pete for organizing this! Pete is also contributing to the upcoming OpsMgr R2 Unleashed eBook - an entire chapter on MP authoring. You'll want to check that out as well once its available later this year.

An excellent read - I look forward to the rest in the series. A guide written for the non-developers out there is greatly needed. I've managed a dozen or so SCOM implementations in the last year and a half for various clients, and in nearly all of those the people that manage the app after we put it in place are not developers and have no desire to be. I will be sending each of them a link to this guide. Keep up the good work, I'll be watching for the rest in the series.

Hmm, I have registered for the site and logged in, and I see the download link for other information, but I do not see a download link for this page. Can someone help me?

Mikester You should see a (rather tiny) download link at the end of the post. Look between 'Categories' and 'Bookmark this post'. Let us know if you still can not download the document.

This MP Authoring Zen article is saturated with great information and has helped in understanding custom management pack authoring for in house and third party apps a whole lot. Is there any word of when the remaining parts might be published or if they are still being worked on?

Right now, its on hold Ryan. There was such a great amount of effort in the first article, and unexpected health issues with the family made it impossible to continue for a time. Hope to get back to this sometime in 2010.
