MOM Components

The basic management unit is the MOM Management Group, which is a MOM installation that includes one MOM Database, one or more MOM Management Servers, and multiple MOM Agents that are installed on the physical computers. It can also include multiple computers that are managed by using an agentless monitoring technique.

The MOM deployment scenario illustrated in this chapter has all of the components installed with managed computers in two domains. The MOM Database is installed on a different server than the Management Server, and the only Management Pack that is installed is the MOM Management Pack. Figure 2.1 illustrates this deployment scenario.

Note

Another optional component, which is not shown in Figure 2.1, is the MOM Connector Framework (MCF), which is documented in the Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 Deployment Guide and is also covered in subsequent chapters.

The user interfaces shown in Figure 2.1 are described in more detail later in this chapter.

Table 2.1 describes the components contained in Figure 2.1.
