How to Configure Operational Data Reports Settings in Operations Manager 2007

Operational data reporting uses a report to collect a summary of how Operations Manager 2007 is being used. Microsoft uses these reports to improve the quality of its Management Packs and Operations Manager 2007. Use the following procedure to configure the operational data reporting option.

Note

Before configuring operational data reports, make sure that Operations Manager 2007 Reporting is installed, and that the Management Server has access to the Internet so that reports can be sent to Microsoft.

To configure the operational data reports settings

  1. Log on to the computer with an account that is a member of the Operations Manager Administrators role for the Operations Manager 2007 Management Group.

  2. In the Operations Console, click the Administration button.

    Note

    When you run the Operations Console on a computer that is not a Management Server, the Connect To Server dialog box displays. In the Server name text box, type the name of the Operations Manager 2007 Management Server that you want the Operations Console to connect to.

  3. In the Administration pane, expand Administration, and then click Settings.

  4. In the Settings pane, expand Type: General, right-click Privacy, and then click Properties.

  5. In the Global Management Group Settings - Privacy dialog box, on the Operational Data Reports tab, click Yes, send operational data reports to Microsoft (recommended) to send reports or click No, don't send operational data reports to Microsoft to decline participation.

  6. Click OK.
