I'm just curious.... how many of you guys and gals are felling warm and fuzzy about OCM these days?
As for me, I don't think I'm quite ready yet....;-D.

I spent some time on the training yesterday.
It is quite tedious. 'A' for effort, as it was well put together.
For an experienced ML user though, a 45 minute session with 5 minutes of useful information is very difficult to sit through.
There are some other targeted sessions that may be more useful, such as patch management.
I have learned the most though just when navigating through the tool.
For a newby, the training would be great.
For someone experienced with ML, it wasn't that helpful, at least the couple sessions I watched.
