Currently MOM 2005 SP1 is configured in MOM 2005 environment. As per microsoft Article MOM 2005 SP1 is unable to monitor windows 2008 R2 systems. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/953140 . We have done some changes in MOM environment to scan & monitor windows 2008 R2 servers. The windows 2008 R2 servers are getting scanned but alerts are not getting generated for the alerts. Can any one help on this issue? Regards, Vaibhavi

From the same article: Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 are not supported for any MOM 2005 SP1 role.Regards, Marc Klaver http://jama00.wordpress.com/

Is there any chances if we can configure it in MOM 2005.As i have configured to scan windows 2008 R2 server,I am able to scan the systems ,but alerts/any event failure are not getting generated for windows 2008 R2 systems in operator console of MOM

Hi Vaibhavi, The Windows Server managerment pack for MOM 2005 does not contain discoveries or rules to capture activity for Windows 2008 R2 systems.

Hi, So how we can monitor windows 2008 R2 systems using MOM 2005? is there any workaround regarding this issue so that we can monitor windows 2008 R2 servers?Thanks for your help. Regards, Vaibhavi Gore

You would have to write your own management pack - no other workaround (short of installing Operations Manager 2007). Microsoft does not support monitoring Windows 2008 R2 from MOM 2005.

Is there any instructions how we can configure it? it's bit urgent as we are unable to monitor 2008 r2 servers

Although Microsoft still supports MOM 2005 SP1, most of the sites and articles regarding authoring now refer only to Operations Manager 2007. If you can't find anything that will help in the product documentation available at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/systemcenter/om/bb498230.aspx, you could check one of the books written for MOM 2005. I believe there are 5 still listed on Amazon.com. You may also want to check the MOM 2005 Resource Kit, which includes a Management Pack Wizard. See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/systemcenter/om/bb498240.aspx for on the reskit and a download link.
