Determining Software Requirements

,

OpsMgr components can be installed on either 32-bit or 64-bit versions of Windows Server 2008. The database for OpsMgr must be run on a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or Microsoft SQL Server 2008 server. The database can be installed on the same server as OpsMgr or on a separate server, which is discussed in more detail in following sections.


Tip

OpsMgr itself must be installed on a member server in a Windows Active Directory domain. It is commonly recommended to keep the installation of OpsMgr on a separate server or set of dedicated member servers that do not run any other applications that can interfere in the monitoring and alerting process.


A few other factors critical to the success of an OpsMgr implementation are as follows:

• Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.0 must be installed on the management server and the reporting server.

• Windows PowerShell.

• Microsoft Core XML Services (MSXML) 6.0.

• WS-MAN v1.1 (for UNIX/Linux clients).

• Client certificates must be installed in environments to facilitate mutual authentication between non-domain members and management servers.

• SQL Reporting Services must be installed for an organization to be able to view and produce custom reports using OpsMgr’s reporting feature.
