SCOM 1801 Is RTM!!!
SCOM 1801 Is RTM!!!
Finally OM/SCOM 1801 is RTM!!!
Go here for the documentation, here for the download (eval) and here for Microsoft�s blog posting about this new release.
What�s new?
- Improved HTML5 dashboard experience
- Enhanced SDK performance
- Service Map integration
- Updates and recommendations for third-party Management Packs
- Linux Logfile monitoring enhancements
- Linux Kerberos support
- GUI support for entering SCOM License key
- System Center Visual Studio Authoring Extension (VSAE) support for Visual Studio 2017
Meet SAC & LTSC
System Center 1801 is Microsoft�s first Semi-Annual Channel release. This way Microsoft is capable of delivering new capabilities at a faster cadence.
As a result, the attached support policy required a refresh. This has resulted in two different approaches:
- SAC: Semi-Annual Channel Release
A: 18 months support policy for each new build;
B: Consistent new updates
C: All new features will be put into the SAC builds - LTSC: Long Term Servicing Channel
A: 5 years of Mainstream Support, followed by 5 additional years of extended support
B: Release cadence at a much lower cadency
C: Updates will be pushed out as Update Rollups, BUT NO FEATURES ADDED(!), fixes mostly.
As you can see, this is a significant change which makes System Center more dynamic.
Can I upgrade from SCOM 2012 R2 to SCOM 1801?
Before System Center 1801 became GA, Microsoft only supported N-1 upgrade paths. Where N is the �latest & greatest�, which is SCOM 1801. N-1 in this case is SCOM 2016.
BUT things have changed here as well since this official Microsoft webpage states:
So YES you can upgrade from SCOM 2012 R2 (with the latest UR applied!) to SCOM 1801!
