System Center Operations Manager 2019 — Lesson 1: SCOM 2019 Architecture, Design, and Deployment

Learning Objectives

• Explain management groups, management servers, databases, gateways, agents, and consoles
• Assess scale, network, availability, security, service accounts, and monitoring requirements
• Install and validate a SCOM 2019 management group and core infrastructure

Detailed Topics

• Explain management groups: Explain management groups, management servers, databases, gateways, agents, and consoles
• Assess scale: Assess scale, network, availability, security, service accounts, and monitoring requirements
• Install and validate a SCOM 2019 management group and core infrastructure: Install and validate a SCOM 2019 management group and core infrastructure

Guided Demonstration

1. Review the requirement, environment, dependencies, roles, risks, and expected outcome.
2. Demonstrate the relevant configuration, analysis, code, or administration workflow step by step.
3. Capture settings, outputs, logs, screenshots, calculations, or test evidence.
4. Compare the observed result with the stated acceptance criteria.

Hands-On Activity

Create a SCOM architecture and deployment plan for a multi-site environment.

• Document assumptions and the planned sequence before making changes.
• Complete the activity and preserve evidence of normal and exception behavior.
• Record issues, corrective actions, and reusable operational or development notes.

Troubleshooting Focus

• Separate symptoms from causes and collect evidence before applying a fix.
• Check configuration, permissions, data, dependencies, capacity, connectivity, and recent changes.
• Validate rollback, recovery, support ownership, and user or business impact.

Validation Checklist

• The requirement and expected outcome are clear.
• The selected configuration, design, query, code, or process is documented.
• Normal, boundary, failure, security, and operational conditions are reviewed.
• The result is supported by evidence and the next improvement is prioritized.

Lesson Outcome

Learners can explain and apply SCOM 2019 Architecture, Design, and Deployment in a realistic scenario and validate the result with documented evidence.
