Working with Agents
Applies To: Operations Manager 2007 R2, Operations Manager 2007 SP1
After you have installed agents on the managed Windows-based computers in your environment and configured Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007 to manage them, Operations Manager begins collecting monitoring data as soon as you import management packs (as discussed in the “How to Import a Management Pack in Operations Manager 2007” topic in the Operations Manager 2007 R2 User’s Guide (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=150555). Aside from managing the data collected, there are a number of administrative tasks regarding agents. The following sections discuss those tasks.
