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
