Installing MOM 2005 Reporting when Deploying MOM 2005 across Multiple Computers (Optional)

The MOM Reporting Server includes the MOM Reporting database and a scheduled job that periodically transfers data from the MOM database to the MOM Reporting database. You can then use the MOM Reporting console to run and view MOM reports that use data from the MOM Reporting database. The MOM Reporting console runs within the SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services by using a supported browser.

The MOM Reporting database and the MOM database can be on the same computer or on separate computers. For optimum performance, especially in a large network environment, it is recommended that you install MOM Reporting a dedicated computer.

Important

You should install MOM Reporting before you import MOM 2005 Management Packs, which include MOM reports. If you do not, you will have to re-import the reports after installing MOM Reporting.

For detailed instructions about installing MOM Reporting, see Chapter 5, "Deploying MOM Reporting."
