System Center Operations Manager 2007 (SCOM) – Platform Monitoring

Microsoft System Center 2012 is a comprehensive IT infrastructure, virtualization, and cloud management platform.
During Essentials installation, Setup creates a number of log files in the %localAppData%\SCE\Logs folder: SetupSCE0.log – Unmanaged bootstrapper log file. SCESetupWizard.log – Managed bootstrapper log file. SCEMSI.log – Essentials Windows Installer log file. To help identify installation issues, the Essentials Resource Kit includes a log parsing tool, SetupLogParser.exe. SetupLogParser can parse both the managed bootstrapper log file (SCESetupWizard.log) and the Essentials Windows Installer log file (SCEMSI.log).
