Installing the management pack

  • Article

 

Applies to: Forefront Protection 2010 for SharePoint

There are two files required for the installation of the management pack: a common file and one specific to FPSP. The common file is called Microsoft.ForefrontServer.Library.mp, and the FPSP-specific file is called Microsoft.ForefrontServer.FPSP.mp. These are "sealed" files (binaries) that cannot be edited (although many parameters can be overridden).

Note

If you have installed a previous version of either the FPSP management pack or the FPE management pack (version 11.1.0269.0 or lower), you need to remove it before installing this management pack.

You import a management pack in order to install it.

  1. Log on to the Operations Manager 2007 server with an account that is a member of the Operations Manager Administrator role.

  2. Select and download the setup package from the Microsoft System Center Pack Catalog to the desktop. The setup package is called "Forefront Protection for SharePoint Management Pack.msi”

  4. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to System Center Operations Manager 2007, and then click Operations Console.

  5. In the Operations Manager 2007 Operations Console, click the Administration space.

After you have imported them, management packs appear in the Administration space, in the Management Packs list. For more information about importing management packs, refer to the product help and documentation at the Microsoft System Center Operations Manager TechCenter. When the management packs have been successfully installed, a folder structure is created in Operations Manager 2007. For more information, see About the folder structure. You should now finish the installation by deploying agents (see Deploying agents) and configuring notifications (see “Configuring notifications” in Understanding management pack operations).
