After almost two years living with a pandemic that changed the way we live and, not the least - the way we work, we are happy to say that we just finished the first events in quite a long while. What used to be very successful "live events" have now turned into online, digital ones, and though it's not quite the same, we are pleased that the participation was high and feedback positive.

Microsoft's System Center Operations Manager, SCOM, is one of several monitoring platforms available on the market. It is widely adopted and has great potential to help you create a stable and robust IT environment. To succeed with that, however, is not always straightforward. To fully benefit from SCOM, the right resources need to be in place and optimized- time, competence, and money.

Microsoft System Center Operations Management team has been busy with new features and updates for SCOM. The most recent version, SCOM 2019, came out on March 14th, 2019. The release date for the upcoming SCOM 2022 has been announced to be globally available in Q1 2022. This blog post will provide an overview of some of the features you can expect to see in SCOM 2022 and how those changes may affect your experience of SCOM monitoring as a user or customer.

The Netlogon Remote Protocol (also called MS-NRPC) is an RPC interface that is used exclusively by domain-joined devices. MS-NRPC includes authentication procedures and a method of establishing a Netlogon secure channel. An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in MS-NRPC that makes it possible for an attacker to establish a vulnerable Netlogon secure channel connection to a domain controller.

All databases provide a place to run applications. Monitoring an infrastructure is usually based on its technical components which goes on to extrapolate the health of its applications and programs. However, wouldn’t it be more efficient to monitor the application’s functionality itself? So imagine you have an Order application that consists of a Web UI frontend, Web API backend, business service and an Oracle Database.
