System Center Guide

We’ve had quite the thread running lately on the myITForum.com MOM mail list regarding problems folks are encountering with installing the SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services. Here are some great links to help troubleshoot issues with the installation – particularly the WMI errors:

• When you try to install MOM 2005 Service Pack 1 (SP1) Reporting, the prerequisite checking process fails

• Prerequisite Checker errors that may occur when you install Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 Reporting
  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/919954

(Although the latter is for MOM 2005, the SRS installation issues can still be found when installing for OpsMgr 2007.)

Thanks again to Clive Eastwood for mentioning these articles and for some of the other work he’s doing at Microsoft to improve the documentation experience for OpsMgr.
