Supported Configurations

This management pack requires System Center 2012 - Operations Manager or later. A dedicated Operations Manager management group is not required.

This management pack is a core part of the Application Performance Monitoring (APM) feature in System Center 2012 - Operations Manager, but it is not imported by default as part of the product setup since it has a dependency on the Internet Information Services (IIS) 7 Management Pack, and works in conjunction with it.

Due to limitations in the Internet Information Services (IIS) 7 Management Pack, the APM feature is not supported on a Microsoft Failover Cluster (MSCS) running IIS. Network Load Balancing (NLB) and IIS Share Configuration are, instead, supported.

The following table details the supported configurations for the Management Pack for Operations Manager APM Web IIS 7:

IIS 7.0 (Windows Server 2008) and IIS 7.5 (Windows Server 2008 R2)
