In the first part of this post we have covered the following components.

• Completed the environmental prerequisites for SCOM R2 deployment
• Installed the OpsDB on DB server
• Installed the OpsDW on DB server

In this part, we will be:

• Installing SCOM 2007 R2 RMS Server role along with consoles on RMS Server

Installing SCOM 2007 R2 RMS Server role

• Logon to the RMS server with an Admin account and add the Operations Manager administrators group, scommsa and scomsdk to the local administrators group.
• Logon to the RMS server with scomadmin1.
• Double click SetupOM.exe from SCOM R2 media to launch the SCOM R2 setup.
• In the prepare area, click Check Prerequisites to launch the prerequisites viewer.

• Select Server, Console, Power Shell and Web Console under the components and click on Check.

• Review the results and make sure that all checks are passed. In case of any warning or errors, resolve the dependencies reported and then click check. Repeat the process until all checks and passed and click close once done.

Note: I have not mentioned the server components prerequisites here, as the prerequisites checker is self explanatory. It will ask for IIS, .Net Framework etc. which can be added from Server Manager on Windows 2008 and there might be a few of them which you will have to download like .Net Ajax Extensions. In any case, follow the prerequisite checker and you will be good.

• Click Install Operations Manager 2007 R2 under Install to start the installation process.

• On the Welcome page, click Next.
• On the End User License Agreement (EULA) page, accept the agreement, and then click Next.
• On the Product Registration page, optionally type appropriate values in the User Name and Organization fields, and then click Next.
• On the Custom Setup page, make sure all the components are set to available and Database is set to not available. For this, click on the component and select appropriate options. Click Next.

• On the SC Database Server Instance page, enter the name of the DB server, Name of the Operations Manager Database and leave the port value to default 1433. Click Next.

• Enter the credentials of ScomMSA account after selecting Domain or Local Computer Account and click Next.

• Enter the credentials of scomsdk account after selecting Domain or Local Computer Account and click Next.

• On the We Console Authentication page, leave the default Windows Authentication selected and click Next.

• On the Ready to Install the Program page, click Next when you are ready to start the installation.
• Click Finish on the Completion page. You can optionally uncheck Start the Console checkbox but let backup the Encryption Key selected. This will launch the Encryption key backup and restore wizard.

• On the Introduction page of the Encryption Key Backup or Restore Wizard, click Next.
• Select Backup the Encryption Key and click Next.

• On the Provide a Location page, specify a valid path and file name for the encryption key and click Next. Path can be local on the SCOM server or can be a remote share.

• Enter the Password for the encryption key and click Next. Make a note of this password.

• Click Finish on the Completion page. It is good to make multiple copies of the key at different locations.
