If we are concerned about keeping our Microsoft Windows environment up to date and controlled, we can also help ourselves with monitoring to control the pending patches that our Servers have in Windows Update. Let's continue to centralize everything we can in our management panel, let's control all our infrastructure from Nagios or Centreon and live more relaxed!
Well, Well… Let's put a little more txitxa in our Nagios, Centreon or whatever we got, We will continue with something very interesting for those who want to monitor more advanced items! We will use a small agent that will be installed on remote Windows or Linux computers, For what? Well, among other things, to execute scripts on these computers. We can run any PowerShell script, Batch, VBScript, Perl… and then read the result of the command and discuss it with Nagios!
Once we have our Windows computers monitored, perhaps we are interested in monitoring something as critical as the services they offer, No? Also, through SNMP we will be able to consult if SQL services, Exchange or any other service that has your computer installed is up or down.
In this document we will start with something easy, we are going to monitor our first Windows computer, whether it is a Desktop or a Server. We will monitor the basics through SNMP, be CPU usage, RAM, Disk, Net, Swap Memory and Ping. With this we will have a first base to then add more elements that we need to monitor!!!
When migrating to VMware vSphere 6.5, we have the possibility to decide if we want to continue with vCenter Server installed under a Windows Server, or leverage and migrate to Linux with the vCenter Server Appliance. In this document we will see the advantages and how to proceed!
With this great tool from VMware Labs, we will be able to migrate our vCenter server installed on Windows to the VMware vCenter Appliance linux appliance, will migrate the SQL Server database to vPostgres and all major services, interesting, isn't it? We will finally be able to easily migrate vCenter from Windos to Linux, with the savings that come with it on licenses!

In this document we will see how we can easily and quickly change the certificates assigned to our VMware vCenter server, Not only that, since vSphere 6.0 Certificate Manager is the new VMware tool with which we can perform any management we need with certificates in vSphere!!!
In previous documents we already saw how to install the Mirage Server to centralize our equipment, this time we will see how easy it is to update the layer of the corporate Operating System and deploy the changes we make immediately to users!
One of the great novelties brought by Windows Server 2012 is the ability to deduplicate the contents of a volume, This very important disk saving technology was given to us until now by medium/high-end storage arrays, from now on we can also optimize disk space from the OS itself!
