How to specify a domain account when you use the Install Agent Wizard in Microsoft Operations Manager 2005
You can use a domain account to install the Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) 2005 agent on destination computers.
After MOM 2005 discovers new computers, you may want to install the MOM 2005 agent software to monitor performance on the discovered computers. By default, MOM 2005 uses the Management Server Action account to install the agent software. However, you can specify a domain account to install the agent software. To specify a domain account to install the agent software, follow these steps.
Note These steps assume that you have not discovered the new client computers.
- Start the MOM 2005 Administrator Console.
- Expand Administration, and then expand Computers.
- Right-click Computer Discovery Rules, and then click Create Computer
Discovery Rule.
- Click the type of rule that you want, and then type the domain name.
- Click Unmanaged for the Initial Management Mode value, and then click OK.
- To discover new computers, right-click Computer Discovery Rule, and then click
Run Computer Discovery Now.
- In the MOM 2005 Administrator Console, click Unmanaged Computers under Computers.
- In the details pane, right-click the computer where you want to install the MOM
2005 agent, click Install Agent to start the Install Agent Wizard, and then click Next.
- On the Agent Installation Permissions page, click Other.
- Specify an account that has local
administrator permissions on the destination computer, and then click Next.
Note This account is used to install the agent software on the destination computer. - On the Agent Action Account page, you can specify an account that has local user
permissions on the destination computer, and then click
Next.
This account is used to run providers, responses, and scripts that are used by MOM 2005. MOM 2005 uses this account to collect
and to respond to events on the managed computer. By default, MOM 2005 uses the Local System account. By specifying a local user account, you can reduce the access of the MOM 2005 processes to local resources on the
agent computer. If you specify a local user account,
you must add permissions to the account, as described in the "Using
a Low-Privileged Account" section of the
Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 Security Guide. To download this guide, visit the following Microsoft Web site: - On the Agent Installation Directory page, you can accept the default folder location, or you can specify another folder to install the MOM
2005 agent software. By default, the %PROGRAMFILES%\Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 folder location is used. Click Next, and then click Finish.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
