About Certain Things
Hi, Hope everyone is doing great, I got Some Questions: 1)We were running MOM 2005 SP1 to monitor , So to monitor the Exchange servers the admin had installed the Exch MP and also Install and ran the Exchange Management Pack Configuration Wizard on one of the Exchange servers. Now We have Installed SCOM 2007 R2 , MOM 2005 is still online and MOM agent is still Monitoring the server. We imported the Exch 2003 MP in SCOM 2007 R2. Installed SCOM Agents on the Exchnage server. Q: Do i have to run the Exchange Management Pack Configuration Wizard for SCOM , as for MOM it is already done. Q:What happens when we Run Exchange Management Pack Configuration Wizard. Q:I do not See Exchnage Related data in the Reports m when i pull the reports , Will this be an issue becuse we have not ran Exchange Management Pack Configuration Wizard Q:Do i have to unistall the Exchange Management Pack Configuration Wizard for MOM and install the latest for SCOM Q:Can both Co-exist on same server or shall i run it on a differnt Exchnage server Q:Any preferable server that i should run it on . Like Exch Frontend .. mailbox I am following: http://www.msexchange.org/articles_tutorials/exchange-server-2003/monitoring-operations/managing-exchange-2003-scom-2007-part1.html

I am pretty certain the E2K3 MP for SCOM is looking at the same keys that are created by the config wizard. So I would think you don't have to run it again. You may have to look at the E2K3 MP in SCOM to ensure the rules that use the config are enabled. When you run the wizard, depending on what you select accounts and mailboxes are created (if you have rights and that's how your environment manages accounts). If you monitor services and or do mailflow, then reg keys are created and values are stored in them on the servers selected. I think the key is HKLM\software\microsoft\exchangemom or exchange I forget. Multihoming shouldn't be an issue dude. If you want to run the Exchange Config wizard, you could actually just run it from any box that has ESM installed. Report data may not be there, because you have to enable certain rules. Read the guide, the guide tells you want rules you have to enable in order to get report data.Regards, Blake Email: mengotto<at>hotmail.com Blog: http://discussitnow.wordpress.com/

The co-existence of mom and scom is not an issue. However keep in mind that you now run double monitoring that might be the last drop for good performance. i've seen this a few times on low sized win2k3 machines, so try to keep the double monitoring for the shortest period possible.Rob Korving http://jama00.wordpress.com/
