If you've had to restore part of your environment or do a disaster recovery plan, you know how important it is to understand your current configuration. Wave 1 of the Operations Manager Resource Kit includes a tool for inventorying the components on each computer where you installed an OpsMgr component. The Operations Manager Inventory tool collects information about your installation and saves it to a XML-formatted .cab file. Data collected includes the following:
The inventory tool (MOMInventory.exe) must be run locally on each computer. The computer must have Microsoft .NET 3.0 installed.
You can download the OpsMgr 2007 Resource Kit utilities from the System Center Operations Manager TechCenter at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=94593.
