Where and when to install Operations Manager:

To use Operations Manager to monitor the Enterprise Vault servers in an Enterprise Vault site, Operations Manager must be installed on at least one Enterprise Vault server in that site.

Operations Manager requires Enterprise Vault Services on the same computer. You can install the Operations Manager component at the same time as installing the Enterprise Vault Services component, or at a later date. You must run the Enterprise Vault configuration wizard to configure the Enterprise Vault Services before you configure Operations Manager.

Additional prerequisite software for Operations Manager:

The computer on which you install Operations Manager requires the following software prerequisite in addition to the core Enterprise Vault prerequisite software and settings:

Internet Information Services (IIS) must not be locked down.

Additional preinstallation tasks for Operations Manager:

In the Active Directory domain, create a Windows user account named, say, "MonitoringUser", for Operations Manager to use when accessing the Enterprise Vault databases. This monitoring user account does not require an Exchange mailbox, and it need not be a member of the Windows Administrators group.

When you create the monitoring user account, note the following:

Select the Password Never Expires option.

Leave the remaining check boxes clear (User Must Change Password At Logon, User Cannot Change Password, and Account Is Disabled).

thats correct. On SQL it will create the database, where you will need to provide path to store MDF and LDF files.

After you installed EVOM, there is NO need to restart services. BE advised though that after the installation, it will take about 24 hours before you actually see something in the webpage of EVOM.

don't worry if after installation you see nothing! Check again tomorrow. :)

it's in the installation pdf that comes with EV.

did you mark this post as solved? a while ago? i recommend either marking the post that actually helped you or maybe start a new thread. if you keep adding to a solved post it doesnt help someone that comes later trying to look for answers to their own issues.
