Hi All,

Don't want to steal anyones thunder but does anyone have any good ideas on
configuring some decent Management Classes ?

We have a large distributed environment - mostly NT (what else!). This is
made up of the usual mixture of mail servers, internet servers, exchange
servers, database servers etc etc.
At the moment I have 7 management classes defined and try to keep user data
versions rich whilst other classes have lower retention periods etc.
However I am not particularly happy with this and its quite hard to manage.

In order to break down a server into several different management classes
I have been using INCLUDE statements in the client option file. This works
fine but is a bit messy....

I am currently looking at the centralised option sets but the server
hangs(!)
every time I try to change this...(call in progress with IBM)
We are using NT 3.1 clients and a 3.1.2.2 MVS Server.

Would be grateful to know or receive ideas on how other ADSM shops handle
management classes..............

Thanks!
