- The intervals for some discoveries have been changed to reduce CPU usage. For details, see Objects the Windows Server Operating System Management Pack Discovers.
- Added Logical Disk Fragmentation Level monitors for Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008.
- Disabled the following rules and monitors for Windows Server 2008 because the events needed are in Windows Server 2003 only.
- Duplicate computer name was detected
- Windows Activation State
- Disk Group Failed
- Disk Group Auto Import Failed
- Volume Not Started
- Run WMIAdap
- Fixed the summary details for the Performance History (Percent Processor Time) report to indicate that the object type is Windows Server 2003 operating system rather than Windows Server 2003 processor.
- Fixed the Performance History (Percent Interrupt Time) report to use a rule that targets the operating system rather than the processor.
- Changed the data source for discoveries from System.Scheduler to System.Discovery.Scheduler to avoid performance issues.
- Changed the Logical Disk Availability monitor to use a Run As profile with administrative privileges to enable it to run in a low-privilege environment.
- Modified logical disk discovery to exclude mount points, because numerous rules use performance counters that are not applicable to mount points.
- Fixed an issue in which an alert could be generated for Windows Activation too early.
- Addressed an issue that was causing some discoveries to not show up correctly in the authoring section of the console.
- Improved the product knowledge for the alert generated by the “A Service is Mis-configured” rule.
- Fixed issue in which logical disk health check could have performance problems when run against clustered servers.
- Fixed links to views in product knowledge articles.
- Added Active Alerts views for Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008.
- Added retry logic to the "Probe Module: Is Feature Installed" module to avoid failures due to periodic time-outs.
- Added a new integer property named "Size (MBytes) (Numeric)" to the Logical Disk class and updated the existing property "Size (Bytes) (String)" to clarify that it is a string. The new property can now be used in formulas and views as expected.
