In Operations Manager\u00c2\u00a02007, Audit Collection Services (ACS) provides a means to collect records generated by an audit policy and store them in a centralized database. More info about ACS here<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you enable ACS gradually or as you install agents it is easy to forget a agent or two. Then you need a view that shows you all agents where you have not enable ACS. I was looking for that kind of view a couple of days ago. Unfortunaly I could not find it so I created it myself instead. My idea was to show all machines where the AdtAgent service, the ACS agent service, is disable. To get this to work we need to do a discovery of a registry value on all machines with a health service. The discovery will tell us the start-up configuration of the AdtAgent service (ACS agent). The result of the discovery will shown as a extra property of the health service.<\/p>\n
