Introduction to the Operations Manager 2007 Migration Guide

  • Article

Applies To: Operations Manager 2007 R2, Operations Manager 2007 SP1

The Operations Manager 2007 Migration guide is intended to help you understand the migration process from Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 (MOM 2005) to Operations Manager 2007 and the tools that are used in the process. A migration process is used because the architectural difference between the two products is significant, and there is no upgrade path from MOM 2005 to Operations Manager 2007. This guide includes the following:

  • A summary of the MOM 2005 to Operations Manager 2007 infrastructure migration options and considerations.

  • A detailed comparison between a MOM 2005 management pack and an Operations Manager 2007 management pack.

  • A step-by-step overview of what happens to MOM 2005 management pack objects during the management pack conversion.

  • A step-by-step walkthrough that shows how to use the Operations Manager 2007 Migration Wizard to migrate a management pack.

Note

When you install and start the Migration Wizard, you will see that it is initially called the System Center Operations Manager Migration Tool.

You should follow this guide from beginning to end. This guide is intended for individuals who have significant MOM 2005 experience and are already familiar with Operations Manager 2007 components and features. An overview is not provided here.
