hey my friends ,
i have scom 2019 environment and i have to monitor few windows server 2003.
i understand that scom 2019 does not support any more with 2003 servers and i read about the option to monitor them using GW server.
which agen version do i need to install on the agent ?
how to install the GW server ? it is need to be like regular 2019 MS ?
if anyone can give my some points for how to do that it will be very helpful .
Best regards ,
Matan.
Hi @matan alter ,
Since SCOM 2019 only offers 64-bit agents, you'll need to install an older SCOM agent, for example the SCOM 2012 R2 agent.
You don't need a Gateway server to monitor older servers/clients, but if the server in question is located in a workgroup/DMZ environment, then you'll maybe want a Gateway server, so it depends where your server is located.
You can basically follow up on the link below, it should be more or less the same procedure:

hey , first of all thank you for your replay .
and if my servers are located in DMZ environment , i need to install2019 GW ? or also an older version of GW ?
You would install a SCOM 2019 Gateway server, as your management group is of SCOM 2019 version.
To monitor Windows Server 2003 servers you would only need older agents, but note that this is as you mentioned unsupported and has not been tested by Microsoft, but it "may" work.
ok thank you.

You also need to make sure that all these servers have powershell V2 minimim
