MOM Operations Components

Figure 1 illustrates how the primary MOM components map to the operations management model.

Figure 1 MOM operations management components

The fundamental operations management unit is the Management Group. The following components are in this group:

• MOM Management Server - At least one MOM Management Server and the MOM Database, which is used to store operational data.

• Managed Computer - At least one managed computer. Managed computers are either Agent-managed, the default, or Agentless Managed. These are covered in more detail later in this guide.

• Management Pack - At least one Management Pack, which contains the rules that are applied to managed computers in the Management Group. The Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 Management Pack, which enables you to monitor MOM health and performance, is installed by default during setup.

• User interfaces - The Administrator Console and Operator Console are installed by default when you install MOM.

The optional components shown in Figure 1 are as follows:

• MOM Reporting - Which consists of the MOM Reporting Server, the MOM Reporting Database, and the Reporting Console.

• The Web Console

Note

    Another optional component, which is not shown in Figure 1, is the MOM Connector Framework (MCF), which will be covered later in this guide.

The user interfaces shown in Figure 1 are covered in more detail in the next section, "MOM User Interfaces."
