Can a SCOM Gateway server report to two SCOM environments?
We are upgrading our current SCOM environment from 2012R2 to SCOM 2019.
We have two separate environments and we have a special subset of servers that report to a GW server.

I want to know can I configure the gateway server in a way where it will report alerts to BOTH environments simultaneously? We are keeping both environments up for a short period of time while we iron out all our issues with the new SCOM 2019 environment. We don't want to miss any alerts during this time.
Thank you.

    Hi,

    The gateway server is also a management server, and management servers can not be multihomed, so to answer your question: No.

    Hi,
    here also a confimration from Anders, who at that time was a Microsoft employee, so an answer from Microsoft:

    SCOM Gateway connected to more than one management group. Multihomed Gateways?
