Q)How many accounts required to configure SCOM 2007?

Q)What is the difference between MOM 2005 and SCOM 2007?

- Features in SCOM 2007 Service Oriented Monitoring, Active Directory Integrated, Role Based security,
Audit Collection, Client Monitoring.

What is the default database size for SCOM 2007?

In MOM 2005, the recommended upper limit (and supported limit) was 30GB. Although Microsoft
now will support an "unlimited size," they have suggested keeping to 50GB if possible, for
performance reasons (30 GB would probably be even better). Obviously your database size will be
impacted by your grooming settings, the number of agents, and the management packs installed.
 
There are no theoretical limits on the data warehouse either (nor were there in the previous
version of Operations Manager). We recommend keeping it as small as you can (based on your
requirements) that will work, in order to maximize its performance. To minimize the size you can
either decrease the grooming interval, or decrease the number of agents (probably not an option)
or the data being collected (management packs, potentially not an option either).

Q)How many jobs will be running on MOM 2005 daily?

30 GB. It can go much larger, but performance suffers.
Q)How do you configure the alerts in SCOM 2007?

Q)What is the extension for Management packs in scom 2007?

.xml

Q)What are the different rule types in MOM?

Rule Types
MOM processes three distinct types of data, events, performance counter data, and alerts. As a result, three
distinct rule types have been created to enable utilization of these data types. All data that is analyzed by MOM is
normalized, or converted, into one of these data types. This means that a WMI and a Windows Event Log event, or
a Windows Performance Counter and WMI numeric data instance, can be analyzed and processed in exactly the
same way.

This enables MOM to provide three basic rule types and a common user interface to work with the data. The rule
types are:

 Events Rules

 Performance Rules

 Alert Rules

Q) Run As Accounts in Operations Manager 2007?

action account
The Windows account that is used by the MonitoringHost.eemxe processes to gather data from
providers and to run actions, such as scripts, command-line batch files, on monitored devices.
agent
An Operations Manager component that is installed on Windows-based computers you wish to
monitor. The agent collects data, compares sampled data to predefined values creates alerts and
runs responses.
Agentless managed computer
A computer without an agent that is monitored by a management server or a proxy agent.
agent-managed computer
A computer that has an agent installed on it and reports to a management group.
alert
In Operations Manager, an alert is an item that indicates that a predefined situation has occurred
on a monitored object. Alerts are defined by rules.
alert rule
A rule that detects a specific condition and generates an alert.
alert severity
The property of an alert that indicates its seriousness; for example, Service Unavailable, Security
Issue, Critical Error, Error, Warning, Information, and Success.
Alert view
 A view in the Operations Manager Operations Console that displays the alerts that the console
user has the rights to see about a specific object.
Agentless Exception Monitoring (AEM)
A feature in Operations Manager that allows the collection of client application crash data to a
single location on a management server, resulting in data that can then be analyzed by your
company for patterns. In addition, the Management Server can forward the AEM data to
Microsoft for analysis rather than having each individual client forward the data.
Audit Collection Services (ACS)
A service, that collects and forwards all security events from monitored computers to a central
database. ACS requires Operations Manager 2007.
class
An item that is targeted for all operations. For example, SQL Server databases or logical drives.
Classes can exist in a parent-child relationship with each other with the child class inheriting
properties from the parent class. In general a class is a template that defines a set of objects of a
certain kind and the properties of those objects.
company knowledge
An editable field of a rule or monitor where you can capture any relevant information about the
required steps to resolve an alert that was raised by the rule or monitor. See also: product
knowledge
containment relationship
In a model, a containment relationship represents the idea that one object is included in a set of
objects that all have something in common. Containment relationships are primarily used to
indicate some type of administrative grouping like those created by the Operations Manager
Group Wizard. Any individual object can be included in many different sets. In addition, the
lifetime of the object is not dependent on the lifetime of the set. For example, a Windows Server
2003 Domain controller is a member of the 'All Windows Servers' set of objects as well as being a
member of the 'All Windows Server 2003 Computers' and 'All Domain Controllers' sets. Also, the
existence of the domain controller computer is not dependent upon the existence of any of the
sets it belongs to, it can be discovered by Operations Manager without the 'All Windows Servers'
group having been discovered.
Data Warehouse database
The database that stores operations data for long periods of time. This data is then used by the
Operations Manager 2007 Reporting Server to build reports. By default this database is named
OperationsManagerDW.
Data Warehouse server
The server that hosts the OperationsManagerDW database.
Event view
A view in the Operations Manager Operations Console that displays specified events in the
management group that the console user has the rights to see.
Favorite view
A view available from the My Workspace area of the Operations Console where you can save
views that you regularly use, similar to how you save a Web page to your Favorites list in Internet
Explorer.
gateway server
A server role in Operations Manager 2007 that enables the monitoring of computers that lie
outside of the Kerberos trust boundaries (Kerberos realm) of the management group.
heartbeat
 A message, sent by an agent to its owning management server that tells the management server
the agent is functioning. In addition, the heartbeat informs Operations Manager of the current
rules evaluated by the agent and requests updates, if necessary.
hosting relationship
In a model, a hosting relationship represents the idea that one object exists only within the
context of a parent object. In this relationship there can be a one to many ratio of parent objects
to child objects, but only a 1:1 ration between a child object and its parent, For example, any
given logical drive can only belong to one computer, though a single computer may have
multiple logical drives. Also, the logical drive must have a computer on which it exists, if the
computer that hosts the logical drive ceases to exist, so does the logical drive itself.
management group
The basic functional unit of an Operations Manager 2007 implementation that can perform
monitoring. It must contain a SQL Server 2005 database server, a Root Management Server, one
or more Operations Consoles and one or more agents. In addition it can also contain a Reporting
Server, gateway server, Audit Collection Services server, and additional collector management
servers.
management pack
A grouping of classes, Monitors, Object Discoveries, Rules, Tasks, Views, and Knowledge that
provide Operations Manager management servers and agents with the information necessary to
monitor an application.
management server
An Operations Manager server that provides a communication channel between the database
server and the managed objects within the management group.
model
In Operations Manager, a software representation of hardware, software, services and other
logical components that are in your environment. The model captures the nature of those
components and the relationships between them.
monitor
In Operations Manager, a state machine that uses events, performance data, and other
information to define the state of an object, such as an application. The rollup of the monitors for
an object determines the overall state of the object—for example, healthy, warning, or error.
Operations Console
The Operations Manager interface that you use to perform monitoring, administration, authoring,
and reporting functions.
Operations Manager Connector Framework
An interface to the SDK Service that allows applications to synchronously communicate with the
Root Management Server.
Operations Manager database
A SQL Server 2005 database, named OperationsManager by default, which stores configuration
data, operations data, and security data.
Operations Manager Health Explorer
A feature of Operations Manager where you can view and then take action on alerts, state
changes, and other significant issues generated by monitoring objects on your network.
Operations Manager Reporting server
The server role that is responsible for building and presenting reports.
Performance view
The Operations Console pane that displays specified performance information.
product connector
 A software component that is used to synchronize data between Operations Manager and other
management systems.
product knowledge
Content, embedded in rules and monitors, that contains information from the management pack
author about the causes of an alert and suggestions on how to fix the issue that caused an alert
to be raised.
reference relationship
In a model, a reference relationship indicates that participating objects work with one another
with none of the dependencies or restrictions that exist in the hosting or containment
relationships. For example, a network router and an Exchange Mailbox server may work together
in providing e-mail services. In addition to working with the Exchange Server, the network router
works with any other server or device that it routes network traffic for. Also, the Exchange Mailbox
server works with all the other Exchange Servers and certain global catalog servers in the
organization to provide e-mail services.
Reporting Data Warehouse
An Operations Manager 2007 component that managers the OperationsManagerDW database
and that can be independently installed.
resolution state
The state of an alert in relation to its status in the resolution cycle, and includes default resolution
states such as New, Acknowledged, and Resolved.
Root Management Server
The first management server installed for a management group that performs unique functions in
the management group. Specifically, it hosts the SDK and Config services and is the target server
that all consoles attach to.
rule
In Operations Manager 2007, the definition of what events and performance data to collect from
computers, and what to do with the information after it is collected.
Run As account
A Windows account that can be associated with a Run As Profile, and can use Windows
Authentication, NTLM, Basic, or Digest methods of authentication.
Run As profile
A profile that associates an identity with a module so that it can run as that identity.
SDK client
An application that uses the Operations Manager class libraries to connect to the SDK Service,
and includes Operations Console, the Web Console, the Operations Manager Command Shell,
and other customized applications.
SDK service
A Windows service that runs on the Root Management Server in each management group, and
allows client applications to access Operations Manager data and functionality.
synthetic transaction
A feature in Operations Manager that can be used to test the availability or performance of a
given service or application from the perspective of an end user or to confirm the functionality of
a low level service.
task
In Operations Manager, a predefined command, script or pierce of code that can be run on a
monitored computer.
user role
 A combination of a profile that defines actions users can take, such as OpsMgr Administrator or
OpsMgr Operator, and a scope, which is the objects the users can take those actions on, such as
all Exchange servers. A user role is a security boundary in Operations Manager 2007. The
Operations Manager administrator can use user roles to control access to views and tasks for
Operations Manager users assigned to that role.
view
In the Operations Console, the organization of the data from the OperationsManager database
that meet filtering criteria. Operations Manager has predefined views and allows the creation of
custom views.
Web Console

Run As account allows you to specify the necessary privileges for use with rules, tasks, monitors, and
discoveries targeted to specific computers on an as-needed basis.

Q)How do you configure notifications in SCOM 2007?

Q)What is the use of ACTION account ?

What Is an Action Account?

The various Operations Manager 2007 server roles, root management server, management server, gateway server,
and agent, all contain a process called MonitoringHost.exe. MonitoringHost.exe is what each server role uses to
accomplish monitoring activities, such as executing a monitor or running a task. For example, when an agent
subscribes to the event log to read events, it is the MonitoringHost.exe process that runs those activities. The
account that a MonitoringHost.exe process runs as is called the action account. The action account for the
MonitoringHost.exe process running on an agent is called the agent action account. The action account used by the
MonitoringHost.exe process on a management server is called the management server action account. The action
account used by the MonitoringHost.exe process on a gateway server is called the gateway server action account.
