I would like
to install MOM to monitor the production environment/domains and a test
environment. These are very small environments/domains (less than 30
servers). And the test environment will be changed and reinstalled often.
What will be the best Design choices? Single Configuration group, single
server? Possible problem: unnecessary messages from the 'ruin' test
environment.
Multiple Configuration Groups? Problem: Extra hardware needed (2 MOM
servers, database, DCAM).
Or are there other options?

You can reuse your hardware by creating multiple instances of SQL Server.
MOM 2000 SP1 supports installing more than one MOM DB (OnePoint) on a server
as long as they are installed on different SQL Server instances.
For Configuration Groups which contain the number of computers you are
talking about (30) a single DCAM/DB server should be able to manage them
just fine although you won't have DCAM redundancy that way. That is another
way you can save on hardware costs.
Consider using the MCF to forward data from multiple configuration groups to
a single configuration group. This might also help you in your design.
See the MOM Performance and Sizing white paper for more information that
might help you in your architecture decisions.

See the Supported Configurations guide to
make sure that your architecture
design decisions are within the boundaries required for Microsoft support.
