Authoring Console
The Authoring Console is a separate installation and is included with the System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 Authoring Resource Kit. The link to download the kit is: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=18222. Microsoft did not change the format of management packs in OpsMgr 2012, so the Authoring Console remains the same as for OpsMgr 2007 R2.
Contained within the Authoring Console are a number of tools to aid in the creation of a management pack. Tools such as the MP Spell Checker, MPBPA, and Cookdown Analysis are included in the Authoring Resource Kit. The Authoring Console and Authoring Resource Kit should be installed prior to completing the following steps.
