The System Center Monitoring Pack for Configuration Manager 2007 SP2 provides a diagram for the Configuration Manager 2007 site hierarchy. Site servers and site systems are displayed showing their relationships to each other with context-sensitive information. This topology diagram includes logical data, such as hierarchies and sites, and physical data, such as site servers and site systems. Since Configuration Manager 2007 hierarchies can be large the diagrams have the following requirements:

The Operations Manager 2007 Agent must be installed locally on all Central Site Servers and their SMS Providers.
Install the Operations Manager 2007 Agent locally on all Primary Site Servers in a top-down manner, depending on how many levels of the Configuration Manager site hierarchy are desired.
Proxying must be enabled for each installed Operations Manager 2007 Agent.
Enter the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) using the Configuration Manager 2007 administrator console for each server to be discovered by Operations Manager.
Configuration Manager Servers must have been discovered and appear in the All Systems collection in the Configuration Manager Administrator Console.
ConfigMgr Server instances must be discovered by service discovery.

Discovery is performed by the following two scripts.

ConfigMgr 2007 Service Discovery - Server
ConfigMgr 2007 Site Hierarchy Discovery

Service Discovery will discover instances of the ConfigMgr Server class. Site Hierarchy Discovery will discover the following:

Sites - central, primary, and secondary sites on a per-site basis from the provider of a primary site
Site-to-site relationship
Servers within a site
Site-Server-to-site-system relationships

The discovery data can be seen partially in the diagram and more fully through object properties. In addition, diagrams can be saved in .jpeg, .bmp, or .png file formats.
