What ’s new in SCOM 1 801 Web Console?

The SCOM 1801 release marks the inception of a faster, modern, flexible and more reliable HTML based Web Console. The Web Console has been given a complete reboot to ensure that it fulfills modern day monitoring needs (and yes, it is now completely free from Silverlight !).
This is another step towards our continuous commitment to the SCOM community and we would like to give a big thanks to all our customers who voted this as the top most requested feature in SCOM https://systemcenterom.uservoice.com/forums/293064-general-operations-manager-feedback/suggestions/9159946-html5-portal . We are really excited about this new Web Console and we strongly believe that you’d just fall in love with it!

Still using Silverlight? Don’t worry, we’ve got that covered too! The Silverlight dashboards are available in a new URL:
http://<Your_Web_Server_Name>/Dashboard

Authentication

The new SCOM Web Console brings back the network authentication! This is what you’d see when you visit the Web Console for the first time:


Choose your preferred login option and you are in, welcome to the new SCOM Web Console!
