Hi Joel,

Start with the MOM Packs if you have Operations Manager. In addition, I have encouraged partners around the reporting space. The spsreports tool has been updated for 2007 and is on codeplex. The SQL reporting services pack could be updated to work, but I haven't heard of anyone doing that yet.
