Save your time and energy. &nbsp;Seriously, we\nknow other consultants that are still getting requests for proposals to install\nSystem Center Orchestrator, but now is not the time for new installations of\nOrchestrator. It\u2019s time to migrate from Orchestrator. For those of you that\nhave used Orchestrator 2012 R2 and installed the upgrades to 2016\/2019, then\nyou know that it wasn&#8217;t much of an upgrade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those of you are already heavily invested in\nOrchestrator, it\u2019s time to start considering your migration path. Time to\nconsider what product(s) you&#8217;re going to leverage, what your options are, and\nhow to move to new tools. Orchestrator isn&#8217;t literally dead in that MS is going\nto reach into your environment and kill your scorch servers(s), but don\u2019t count\non getting any new cutting edge features or updates. Without new features it\u2019s\ngoing to continue to be more and more difficult to keep up with automating new\nproducts and services.&nbsp; Luckily Azure provides a myriad of ways to take on\nyour automation workloads.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the next several post I&#8217;ll be teaming up with Microsoft MVP Billy York to show you various ways and technologies to accomplish your automation tasks in a more modern way.
