SCOM and GW Server (Agent Installation)
There is a way to install SCOM Agent by SCOM Console, choosing GW server as Management Server? Or I can install SCOM Agent in untrusted domain only manually? I have a untrusted domain, with a GW Server, all working fine, but I have many servers to install SCOM Agent in same domain that GW Server. Install manually will by very hard for me.

You may want to take a look at http://blogs.technet.com/b/smsandmom/archive/2008/05/21/opsmgr-2007-how-to-enable-ad-integration-for-an-untrusted-domain.aspx, which discusses enabling AD Integration for an untrusted domain. If AD Integration is set up and you have Configuration Manager, you should be able to deploy the agent as a ConfigMgr package. Disclaimer: I personally have not tested this.

If you chose the GW as MS in the discovery and give install privileges in the untrusted domain, you will be able to install agents.mats.w | www.opsmode.com | Please mark this answer as helpful if it helped you.

Thanks. Hi Nicholas, thanks for this info, but my GW Server are working fina, all my Agent/GW managed agents are reporting good. But I want to install my next agents using SCOM Console in untrusted domain.

If you have "many agents to install" I'm trying to understand why you want to do this through the console. Using a Configuration Manager package would automate this and make it a faster process.

Sorry for late answare. In the Computer and Device Management Wizard - Auto or Advanced your chose your GW, on Discovery Method you chose Browse for...., on Administrator Account you fill in an account that has permissions to install and also manually type the domain that you are installing in. It will give you a warning that it can't verify the account, but that is all good.. This is also how I do when using a console that is not in the domain... mats.w | www.opsmode.com | Please mark this answer as helpful if it helped you.

No problem Mats, you have solved my problem, thank you so much, this works like a charm. If you have "many agents to install" I'm trying to understand why you want to do this through the console.
