The System Center Operations Manager 2007 class libraries are present on Management Servers and on computers with the Operations Console component installed. Application developers can now use the new set of types under the Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement namespace as their primary means of accessing Operations Manager features and data, including the following:

• Management Server configuration
  
• Management Server administration
  
• Access to operations data
  
• Management Pack authoring
  

For more information about using the class libraries, see the following sections:

• Getting Started Developing an SDK Client Application
  
• Automating Operations Manager Administration
  
• Automating Management Pack Development
  

In previous releases, the Microsoft SDK contained WMI classes for monitoring non-Windows-based computers and other hardware devices. In System Center Operations Manager 2007, these WMI classes are no longer required. You can now monitor non-Windows-based computers and other hardware devices by defining Management Packs. For more information about hardware monitoring and Management Pack authoring, see the System Center Operations Manager 2007 Help.
