Install the Operations Manager Agent on the Forefront TMG Computers (Install SCOM Agent on TMG Servers)
Install the Operations Manager Agent on the Forefront TMG Computers
The Operations Manager agent runs on each computer that Operations Manager monitors. The Operations Manager agent is typically installed by starting the Discovery Wizard from the Operations Manager 2007 Administrator Console on the Operations Manager server.
Because the Microsoft Firewall service blocks the traffic between the Operations Manager server and the Forefront TMG computers that are needed to install an Operations Manager agent, it is recommended that you install the Operations Manager agent manually on each Forefront TMG computer that you want to configure as an Operations Manager agent computer, as described in the following procedures.
However, you can deploy it using the discovery wizard either before the TMG software get deployed or by allowing all the required port for agent push which is not recommended in this case.

1. On the computer on which you want to install the agent, run SetupOM.exe from the Operations Manager 2007 installation media. 2. Click Agent to install an agent. 3.

5. Select either Local System or specify a domain user account for the agent action account. 6. Complete the Agent Setup Wizard. |
To approve the agent on the Operations Manager server |
1. In the Operations Manager Console, click the Administration button. 2. Click Administration, expand Administration, expand Device Management, and then click Pending Management. 3. In the Pending Management pane, select computers in Type: Manual Agent Install. 4. Right-click the computers, and then click Approve. 5. In the Manual Agent Install dialog box, click Approve to display the computers in the Agent Managed node showing that they are ready to be managed. Note Rejected agents remain in Pending Management until the agent is uninstalled for the Management Group. |
