I am very excited about the System Center Operations Manager 2012 management pack development effort I'm about to begin for Hitachi hardware leveraging WS-Management.  I plan to post discovery, monitor, and rule examples of how anyone can leverage WS-Management when working with Out of Band devices.

I will provide discovery samples that leverage the native Microsoft.SystemCenter.WSManagement.TimedEnumerateDiscoveryData module seen here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj130215.aspx.  In addition to the discoveries I will also provide an example of the http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj130253 which can be used for rules/monitors.

System Center 2012 Is Now Available Through Volume Licensing Website

I was just checking the volume licensing website and noticed that SC 2012 is now available.
Happy downloading!
