Preparing for Service Manager 2010 SP1 Deployment

Applies To: System Center Service Manager 2010 SP1

Before you start the deployment of Service Manager, you will create a group of users in Active Directory and creates or identifies a domain account that he will use during setup. Make sure that the domain account is a member of the appropriate groups needed for proper operation of Service Manager. Keep the following in mind when installing Service Manager and Operations Manager on the same server:

  1. Operations Manager and Service Manager can share the database server.

  2. An Operations Manager agent and the Service Manager management server can coexist on the same server if you install the Service Manager management server first and then manually install the Operations Manager agent.

  3. You can install both the Operations Manager console and the Service Manager console on the same computer. The order in which you install the consoles does not matter.

  4. Do not attempt to use the same SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) instance for both Operations Manager and Service Manager.
