1. HOW TO GET STARTEDSuccess with Service Manager
![Page 7: Top 10 Production Experiences with Service Manager and Orchestrator Nathan Lasnoski Infrastructure Architect Microsoft MVP Concurrency](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649daa5503460f94a988d9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
INCLUDE THE RIGHT PEOPLE…
You NEED to include people who understand process and technologyThis is a strategic and tactical tool.Examples of people to include…
Service Desk managerSystem Center technology leadIT Leadership
Including the right people = success
![Page 8: Top 10 Production Experiences with Service Manager and Orchestrator Nathan Lasnoski Infrastructure Architect Microsoft MVP Concurrency](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649daa5503460f94a988d9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
START WITH SERVICES…
An IT Service is “something” that IT delivers to the business...
… in a way the business understands it.
Example… Intranet Portal
Other examples…Email / VoiceWarehouse AutomationPublic WebsiteCustomer Ordering
![Page 9: Top 10 Production Experiences with Service Manager and Orchestrator Nathan Lasnoski Infrastructure Architect Microsoft MVP Concurrency](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649daa5503460f94a988d9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
WHAT DOES IT WANT TO KNOW?
HealthCustomer responseCost and infrastructureSLA estimate to actualEffort on a per-service basisRisk and operations

HOW TO CREATE A BUSINESS SERVICE LIST…
Start in a worksheet...List the things that IT deliversIndicate how they are classifiedIndicate responsibilities from IT and the business
EXAMPLE of Service Planning

DECISIONS…
What work process has the biggest payoff?
… will my customers notice the difference?… how am I articulating the value?… Automation has a very high ROI.
Incident Management (symptom management)Service Request Management (Move, Add, Change)
Change Management (IT Changes)Risk and Compliance (Operations)

7. SIZE AND OPERATE
![Page 39: Top 10 Production Experiences with Service Manager and Orchestrator Nathan Lasnoski Infrastructure Architect Microsoft MVP Concurrency](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649daa5503460f94a988d9/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
PERFORMANCE TIPS…
Don’t undersize!! Use the sizing tool. Minimum is 4 servers…
Service Manager Management Server Data Warehouse + SQLWeb ServerOrchestrator
Configure views properly. Understand the class structures.
Avoid “advanced” views, use type projections insteadSearch vs. display all data (in console and web)
Be careful with connectors. (AD / Configuration Manager)
![Page 40: Top 10 Production Experiences with Service Manager and Orchestrator Nathan Lasnoski Infrastructure Architect Microsoft MVP Concurrency](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649daa5503460f94a988d9/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
BACKUP AND OPERATIONS…
Backup all management packs regularly, individuallyBackup encryption keys. These are necessary for recoveryMake management pack changes during service windows\Backup copies of virtual machines
![Page 41: Top 10 Production Experiences with Service Manager and Orchestrator Nathan Lasnoski Infrastructure Architect Microsoft MVP Concurrency](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649daa5503460f94a988d9/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
GENERAL TIPS…
Seal management packs which add fieldsUse the authoring console. Automatically increments version.
Be careful with management pack dependenciesDon’t throw everything in one management packDon’t install the Operations Manager agent on SM

![Page 45: Top 10 Production Experiences with Service Manager and Orchestrator Nathan Lasnoski Infrastructure Architect Microsoft MVP Concurrency](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649daa5503460f94a988d9/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
MAKE SURE TO TRAIN…
Get buy-in by including people early in the planningShow the ROI and “why it is good for them”Train on what is relevant, with their systemITIL or MOF training is important for implementers
ITIL Foundations is great base trainingMicrosoft MOF: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc506049.aspx
Have excitement!

![Page 47: Top 10 Production Experiences with Service Manager and Orchestrator Nathan Lasnoski Infrastructure Architect Microsoft MVP Concurrency](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649daa5503460f94a988d9/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
PHASE AND MANAGE SCOPE
Don’t try to bite off the whole thing at onceSucceed end-to-end on each processList off features and move other features to next phasesSomething ALWAYS comes up… plan for that
EXAMPLE of a work plan
![Page 48: Top 10 Production Experiences with Service Manager and Orchestrator Nathan Lasnoski Infrastructure Architect Microsoft MVP Concurrency](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649daa5503460f94a988d9/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
