Microsoft® Operations Manager 2000 (MOM) Service Pack 1 (SP1) is a management system for monitoring computers in your organization. MOM SP1 has been tested, and it has been proven, based on many customers, that MOM SP1 scales to the published supported numbers. However, the limits for MOM SP1 can vary depending on many variables that are discussed in this paper. This paper describes the testing process used to recommend a suitable management server size with enough reserve capacity to smoothly manage a specific number of computers without putting the MOM SP1 computer systems at risk.
You can use the findings in this paper along with the MOM SP1 Management Server Sizer as a starting point to help you to determine the appropriate performance and sizing considerations for MOM SP1 in your environment.
