Monitoring a Single Server with Two Separate SCOM Consoles in Different Active Directory Environments

Question

A scenario involves two independently deployed and managed SCOM consoles in different Active Directory environments within the organization. Both consoles are configured to collect data from the same servers.

What are the best practices or considerations for managing this setup?

Answer 1

Hi,

Multihoming a SCOM agent allows it to report to multiple management groups simultaneously. This can be particularly useful in scenarios like migrations or when you need to monitor the same server from different SCOM environments.

You can manually configure a SCOM agent to multihomed by modifying its properties. This involves adding the additional management group information directly on the agent.
