Explanation:
To generate alerts when the average processor usage is higher than 90 percent for 20 minutes and automatically adjust the processor monitoring threshold to allow for temporary changes in the workload, you need to Deploy Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM).
System Center Operations Manager 2007(SCOM 2007) is a new version of Microsoft Operations Manager 2005(MoM).
