Pre-Installation Requirements for MOM 2005 SP1

  • Article

Before you install or upgrade to the Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) 2005 Service Pack 1 (SP1), the following requirements should be considered.

Windows Installer 3.1 Redistributable Package

Before upgrading MOM 2005 to MOM 2005 SP1, you must install the Windows Installer 3.1 Redistributable Package on the following MOM 2005 components:

  • Management Server

  • Database Server

  • Any computer hosting user interface components

  • Reporting Server

  • Agent-managed computer

However, if you plan to install MOM 2005 SP1 in an environment that has no previous MOM installation, or which has MOM 2000 SP1 installed, Windows Installer 3.0 is sufficient and you do not need to install the Windows Installer 3.1 Redistributable Package.

You can obtain the Windows Installer 3.1 Redistributable Package at the Microsoft Download Center.

For more details about this version of Windows Installer, see Knowledge Base article 893803 and Knowledge Base article 905548.

SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services Service Pack 2

To Use MOM 2005 SP1 Reporting, you must have SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services. With MOM 2005 Service Pack 1, you can use SQL 2000 Reporting Services SP2, which is independent of service packs for SQL Server 2000.

It is recommended that you apply the latest service pack for SQL Server before you install this service pack. SQL 2000 Reporting Services SP2 requires a reboot after installation is complete.
