Overview of File Services monitoring

Addendum assumes the file services version agnostic version 10. pack is installed.

Looking at XML file in Notepad++, the pack references are what packs the workflows refer to (other management packs).  Kevin Holman taught building backwards compatibility with MP authoring.  Backwards compatibility allows SCOM2012+ import without errors.  To take this one step further, the v10.0.0.0 file services packs referenced represent the version agnostic packs.

NOTE: File Services Addendum references may need updates if the whole file services management packs are NOT installed.
