About Agent Installation: 1)When we install a agent , Is there a flow that we can check ( Like we Discover the clinet , Push the agent , then all we see is Success or Failure) , What happened between .Failure is not Logged in the AgentLogs on the Managemnet server. Only the successful ones are logged i guess. Which service install the agent , Is there a process that we should see in Process Explorer / task Mgr On the Agnet side apart from the EventVwr is there any thing else which we can check for Agent communication with Server. 2)We do not have AD integration and are not planing for that as of now. Question Is? When we install the agent we have to select the MS to which it should Reports. Supposedly if MS fails , Is the Agent going to report to RMS.If Yes (How would it do that - i mean the failover kind of - Is it automated or We have to manually intervein on all the managed agents) Will the same hold true if i have 2 MS , switching from 1 MS to another in case of failure.

1)When we install a agent , Is there a flow that we can check ( Like we Discover the clinet , Push the agent , then all we see is Success or Failure) , What happened between .Failure is not Logged in the AgentLogs on the Managemnet server. Only the successful ones are logged i guess. Both successful and failed agent-deployments can be assessed from the administration pane in the SCOM-console. An error message is generated during the deployment which displays in the deployment dialog window. Which service install the agent , Is there a process that we should see in Process Explorer / task Mgr You can look for something like momagentinstaller.exe or momagent....exe On the Agnet side apart from the EventVwr is there any thing else which we can check for Agent communication with Server. The agent adds its own eventlog where you can view all communications (both informative and erroneous) with the RMS 2)We do not have AD integration and are not planing for that as of now.

I think there won't be an automated failover, as the point of having multiple MS' is to balance load. Although the feature can be used to perform failovers, you'll have to do it manually or with an external tool.
