32 vnext and Tech Preview crossplat The OMI agent can be shared between SCOM and SCCM. Shell command/script executions are multi-threaded. Option to use default (stored) runas credentials in discovery wizard and powershell discovery. File system discovery can be filtered by type or name in overrides.

33 vnext and Tech Preview crossplat Run any script to get health or performance (shell, python, perl, etc.). So no longer single line command. Also no need to escape characters inside the scripts. This is a big thing!

34 vnext crossplat Coming later in vnext: Create shell command or script diagnostic or recovery task. Per-process performance monitors. Apache monitoring pack! With a deployable Apache module. Server, Virtual host, performance, certificates. MySQL monitoring pack! Monitor server, databases, storage engine, etc. for health and performance
