The System Center Operations Manager Management Pack (MP) for System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 was finally released yesterday. As I wrote previously, the documentation was initially misleading on this feature — eventually we learned that the MP would ship 60 days after SCVMM 2008 released.
Let’s use PowerShell to find out if Microsoft made their release date:
$RtmDate = Get-Date "October 21, 2008" $MgtPackReleaseDate = Get-Date "January 28, 2009" $MgtPackDueDate = $RtmDate.AddDays(60) $DaysTaken = $MgtPackReleaseDate.Subtract($RtmDate).Days $DaysLate = $MgtPackReleaseDate.Subtract($MgtPackDueDate).Days Write-Host "Due date:`t" $MgtPackDueDate.ToShortDateString() Write-Host "Release date:`t" $MgtPackReleaseDate.ToShortDateString() Write-Host "Days taken:`t" $DaysTaken Write-Host "Days late:`t" $DaysLate
Results:
Due date: 12/20/2008 Release date: 1/28/2009 Days taken: 99 Days late: 39
