How to configure a Stand-alone OpsMgr 2007 Web Console for Windows AuthenticationThe Operations Manager 2007 product documentation only provides two options at present. When the Web Console resides on the RMS, Windows Authentication is the recommended configuration. When the Web Console is moved to a separate server, forms authentication is the documented solution, as the 
Kerberos “double-hop” issue causes Windows Authentication to fail. In this document, product team guru Satya Vel provides detailed instructions for configuration of “constrained delegation”. This allows the OpsMgr 2007 Web Console to be configured for Windows Authentication, even when on a separate server.

How to implement a distributed reporting topology for Operations Manager 2007This article by Gordon McKenna details the steps for configuring a distributed reporting environment (one in which the SQL databases and SRS server are located on different computers) in OpsMgr 2007. The least understood part of a distributed reporting topology is configuration of the identity needed to access the SRS databases on the remote server. As Gordon points out, this can be accomplished by using the OpsMgr Data Reader / Data Writer account to eliminate the need for yet another domain identity.

OpsMgr Tool: GreenMachineUser Submission: GreenMachine Submitted by: Tim Helton (MS) Description: GreenMachine is an OpsMgr Utility that can be used to reset or recalculate all monitors for a single agent, or for all agents in your management group. Command line tool that facilitates bulk reset of health monitors. This can be very useful if you just had an event storm, and you want to reset everything back to “green”. It also has the ability to identify “ManualReset” monitors, and reset or recalculate only them. It displays most of the same data as healthexplorer, as well as some additional information.
