Installing the MOM 2005 Components when Installing MOM 2005 on a Single Computer

The MOM server components include the MOM database, Management Server, and user interfaces - the MOM Administrator console and the MOM Operator console.

Important

MOM installation might fail on computers that are running Microsoft Windows 2000 and also have a virus checker installed and running. To avoid a possible problem, you might want to disable the virus checker before you install MOM components.

Before installing the MOM database, you must first install and correctly configure SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3a or later for use by the MOM database. You should also install all recommended hotfixes for SQL Server 2000 SP3a. If you are installing the MOM database on an existing SQL Server, you must verify that it is correctly configured.

A known issue might arise when MOM is bulk inserting data into the MOM database. A server process ID (SPID) might stop responding with a NETWORKIO (0x800) waittype and a constantly increasing waittime in SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager under Process Info or in the sysprocesses table in the master database. The only way to end the process is to remove the SPID.

Important

Installing the MOM 2005 database on the Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE) is not supported.

For more information about SQL Server configurations that have both SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 7.0 installed, see article number Q300341 in the Microsoft Knowledge Base at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=33376. It is recommended that you review all articles related to SQL Server and MOM at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=10716.

If you want to install the MOM Administrator console and the MOM Operator console on the Management Server, it is recommended that you set your display resolution to 1024  768, with 24-bit color.
