Global Settings

  • Article

You should not change a global setting without:

  • Determining a specific need for the change.

  • Assessing the impact of the change.

  • Monitoring your MOM environment after the change to determine whether or not the change should be retained.

Use the following procedures to change a global setting for all the computers in a management group, or for one computer in a management group.

To change a global setting for all computers

  1. In the navigation pane, expand the Administration folder.

  2. Click Global Settings.

  3. In the details pane, right-click the setting that you want to change.

  4. Click Properties to open the property page for the setting.

  5. Commit configuration changes. Depending on the interval value for Configuration polling, it might take some time for all servers to recognize the change.

You can also change settings on an individual server in a management group, and override the current global settings for that computer. Use the following procedure as an example.

To change a global setting for the Management Server

  1. In the navigation pane, expand Administration and Computers.

  2. Click Management Server.

  3. In the details pane, right-click the name of the Management Server.

  4. Select Properties to open the property page for the Management Server.

  5. Commit configuration changes. Depending on the interval value for Configuration polling, it might take some time for the server to recognize the change. Alternatively, you can stop and restart the MOM service to force a resynchronization of the server.
