I'm currently
designing a multiple MOM server environment. We have 2 DCAMs servers and one
database server.
This may be a silly question but should I install IIS and Access on the
DCAM's or the reporting server?

Setting up a
separate Reporting server is a very good idea and will give you performance
gains that more than justify the cost. This is because generating some
reports have been know to spike the CPU to 100% for several minutes. This
is bad news on a DCAM since MOM is unavailable during this time. Here’s
some information on setting up Reporting on a separate server.
To Relocate the Report Web Folders
This is a 3
step process:
-
Move the '<Program
Files>\Microsoft Operations Manager 2000\Event\Report'
directory to the new location (You might want to keep a copy some where
until you have established that the changes are working).
-
Change the URL used
by the 'http://<servername>/Reporting'
app (allows Web Viewing of saved HTML reports). To do this :
-
Open the IIS snap-in
and navigate to Default Web Site (or wherever)/Reporting.
-
Right-click and
click 'Properties'.
-
On the 'Virtual
Directory'
tab, change the Local Path to the new location.
-
Click OK.
-
Change the location
of the saved report files. To do this:
-
Open the Reporting
utility (use the Local Reports option on thepop-up)
-
Click 'File'
on the main menu and then select 'HTML
Properties'.
-
Change both paths to
the new location.
NOTE: Because
there is only one path for the saved reports, I don't see any way of
splitting up the Reports directory, that is, to have the AD reports go to on
partition and the Exchange ones go to another partition.
Manual generation worked just fine. Waiting for a confirmation on the *.bat
generation.

You can point
the MOM MMC console so it can use data from the archiving server:
1. By manipulating the
registry key.
2. Create custom MMC
that contains both databases (recommended)
As for doing the same
thing with the Reporting Tools you have the option to choose your database
server - you can change it from there.
