Microsoft has just released System Center Operations Manager 2007 SP1 Internet Information Services 7.0 Monitoring support.
If you read my article Monitoring Exchange 2007 With System Center Operations Manager 2007, in Part 1 and Part 4 I recommend the installation of additional Management Packs, besides the Exchange Server 2007 MP.
The IIS Management Pack is recommended because exchange rely on these services for some of its features (OWA, for instance).
