TechNet Library is live [here] and also the download section. Upgrade from 6.2.2 is only 20mb.
Many were waiting on the “System Center Configuration Manager” and “Virtual Machine Manager” IP!
Robert Hearn discusses the SCCM Pack to explain the features.
Microsoft explaines in KB2023122 how to move your Opalis DB. The wizard informs you that the database contains tables and that they will be overwritten. Don’t panic and accept the warning, no data gets lost 🙂

The SCUG group organizes an event in Brussels that I will attend 🙂 It’s free but you need to register!
The System Center User Group Belgium invites you to their next free event, where they’ll show you how we can use Opalis and the System Center suite together to make your life easier!
