Install the Operations Manager operations console

After you install System Center Operations Manager, you can install the operations console on other servers and computers. For example, you might want to view monitoring data from your desktop computer.

Prerequisites

Ensure that the computer that will host the operations console meets the minimum system requirements.

Note

We recommend that you don't use the NT Authority\SYSTEM user for the installation of System Center Operations Manager.

After you download the installation media (.zip), we recommend verifying that the file isn't corrupted. Following is the checksum for the file:

EAB2EB4A877857E44420759512682A153AFBBD80A169752CCD9B0DB8A9C0D1C2

77E84740E2D7BD893227627616CC048B5BC1EF939F734D326EB654CADE8E5C0C

5562D148315D8208F15CACE00F33C6A9820AF1EA3CAAA9CD2144973B4548B8C9

To verify its authenticity, perform checksum validation on your computer by running the following PowerShell snippet:

$expectedChecksum = "ENTER_EXPECTED_HASH_HERE"
$zipFilePath = "ENTER_ZIP_Path\<product>_<version>.zip"
$expectedChecksum -eq (Get-FileHash -Path $zipFilePath -Algorithm SHA256).Hash

When validation passes, True is printed. If False is printed, the downloaded file isn't valid and you need to download it again.

Install the operations console

  1. Sign in to the computer that will host the operations console. Use an account that has local administrative credentials.

  2. On the Operations Manager installation media, run Setup.exe, and then select Install.

  3. On the Getting Started > Select features to install page, select Operations console. To read more about what each feature provides and its requirements, select Expand all (or expand the button next to each feature). Then select Next.

  4. On the Getting Started > Select installation location page, accept the default location. Or you can enter a new location or browse to one. Then select Next.

  5. On the Prerequisites page, review and address any warnings or errors that the prerequisites checker returns. Then select Verify Prerequisites Again.

  6. If the prerequisites checker returns no warnings or errors, the Prerequisites > Proceed with Setup page appears. Select Next.

  7. On the Configuration > Help improve System Center - Operations Manager page, select your options. Then select Next.

  8. If Windows Update isn't enabled on the computer, the Configuration, Microsoft Update page appears. Select your options, and then select Next.

  9. Review the options on the Configuration > Installation Summary page, and then select Install.

  10. When Setup finishes, the Setup is complete page appears. Select Close. The operations console then opens.

  11. In the operations console, on the Connect to Server page, fill in the Server name box. Enter the name of the first management server in which you installed in the management group. Then select Connect.

Important

If you plan to edit company knowledge on this computer, you also have to install the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime.

You can't edit company knowledge by using the x64 version of Microsoft Word 2010. You must install the x86 version of Microsoft Office 2010 or an earlier version.

Install the operations console from the command prompt

  1. Sign in to the server by using an account that has local administrative credentials.

  2. Open the Command Prompt window by using the Run as Administrator option.

  3. Change the path to where the Operations Manager Setup.exe file is located, and then run the following command:

    setup.exe /silent /install /components:OMConsole /EnableErrorReporting:[Never|Queued|Always] /SendCEIPReports:[0|1] /UseMicrosoftUpdate: [0|1] /AcceptEndUserLicenseAgreement:[0|1]
