Distributed Applications, example

Running SQL tasks from within SCOM console To run the SQL Management Studio task and the SQL Profiler task, you must have installed SQL Server Management Studio and SQL Server Profiler on all Operations Manager computers where these tasks will be used. If you try to run one of these tasks without the appropriate features installed, you will receive the error message "The system cannot find the file specified." **You do not need SQL Server Management Studio or SQL Server Profiler for discovery and monitoring.**

The following groups are added when you import the SQL Server Management Pack: SQL 2008 R2 Computers SQL 2008 R2 DB Engine Group SQL 2008 R2 Replication Computers SQL 2012 Computers SQL 2012 DB Engine Group SQL Computers SQL Instances SQL 2005 Computers SQL 2005 DB Engine Group SQL 2005 Replication Computers SQL 2008 Computers SQL 2008 DB Engine Group SQL 2008 Replication Computers SQL 2008 Mirroring Group
