You configure Monitoring Server software components during the second stage of setup. You can configure one component at a time or multiple components by using Monitoring Server Configuration Manager.

You must configure the following five components:

• Monitoring System Database

• Monitoring Server Internet Information Services (IIS) component

• Dashboard Viewer for SharePoint Services

• Scorecard Viewer for Reporting Services

• Monitoring Plug-in for Report Designer (Microsoft Visual Studio 2005)

Monitoring Server Configuration Manager installs the selected components on the local computer. If you want to install components in a distributed fashion, you must separately configure each computer. You can select either of the following two options that Monitoring Server Configuration Manager provides:

• Distributed Configuration   Specify which Monitoring Server components to install on multiple computers. This option enables you to select the components that are installed on each computer.

• Standalone Configuration   Install all Monitoring Server components on a single computer. All the components will be installed, and you cannot customize the configuration.

Note:
if there are missing software prerequisites on the local computer, you will not be able to install the components that depend on them

Important:
When Monitoring Server Configuration Manager is run, there might be a disruption to IIS services and sites. We recommend that you disconnect all critical IIS services and sites until after Monitoring Server Configuration Manager completes.

Note:
Either Office SharePoint Server 2007 or Windows SharePoint Services must be installed in order to successfully install and use Monitoring Server. The terms Windows SharePoint Services and SharePoint Services are used collectively in PerformancePoint Server documentation to refer to Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Windows SharePoint Services 3.0.
