MSE Feb’09 CTP is on CodePlex

I am happy to announce that the Microsoft Managed Services Engine Feb’09 CTP has been released on CodePlex. This release represents a major milestone of our solution. Not only have we rewritten the management tool from the ground up in WPF, many changes have been made in the Enterprise Service Model we are attempting to manage. The new UI presents a visual view of the Enterprise Service Model.

If you think about service providers sitting off to the right of the screen and service consumers sitting off to the left, then you quickly get an idea of how resources are organized onscreen.

Double-clicking a resource will expose the detail for that resource. You can also collapse the other panels if you need more space. Please explorer the new drop and please give your feedback.

Any plans on a non CTP release that will give people more confidence to use this in production?

For production we recommend you engage with Microsoft Services. Not all the source is available on CodePlex and there is limited support available through the forums. With MCS, our IP is protected through the contract so you get access to all the source and we can explore support options like Microsoft Premier.
