How do I determine if SCOM has been installed on a particular Windows 7 enterprise computer that is being used as an IIS server and may need SCOM installed?

    Well, you could check the SCOM management console. I don't think you'll find much though, as Windows 7 Server isn't a thing that exists. – mfinni Feb 23 '15 at 20:33
  • well I have a box with Windows 7 enterprise that is hosting an iis server and may need to have SCOM installed. Is that do-able? – JosephDoggie Feb 23 '15 at 21:05

    So many questions raised. Why in heaven's name are you using Windows 7 as a web server? Are you the SCOM admin? If not, why aren't you asking that person? What version of SCOM? What are you trying to install - the management console, or a monitoring agent? There is a a SCOM agent for Windows 7 if you're using SCOM 2012. – mfinni Feb 23 '15 at 21:11

  • I am a developer but I've been tasked with using SCOM. I am not the administrator. We have bought SCOM here but I have reason to believe it is not activated on "my" development "server" (which is really a Windows 7 computer). – JosephDoggie Feb 23 '15 at 21:14
  • Is there a way to verify if SCOM has or hasn't been installed on a particular machine? – JosephDoggie Feb 23 '15 at 21:14

If you need to check that SCOM agent is installed on this machine (which literally means that this machine is monitored by SCOM) - it's enough to check that the following Windows service is installed: - HealthService (it's display name different for different versions of SCOM and might be a "Microsoft Monitoring Agent" or "System Center Management ")

If you need to check that the SCOM Management Server is installed on particular machine - you need to check another service: - OMSDK (display names is "System Center Data Access Service")

Good luck!
