The MOM 2005 Operator Console
lets you perform many common
maintenance and security-related tasks
on your managed computers. For
example, you can query the IP configuration of any managed computer by
selecting IP Configuration in the Tasks
pane at the right of the console and
following the wizard. If the Tasks pane
isn’t visible, you can make it appear by
clicking Tasks on the toolbar.
The Tasks pane is context sensitive,
and by default, MOM 2005 Work-group Edition will run any task you
select against the currently highlighted computer(s) in the State view or the Computers and Groups view.
For some tasks, such as IP Configuration, the data collected will be returned as generated events and can be
seen in the Events view. For other
tasks, such as Computer Management
or Remote Desktop, MOM will open
an MMC snap-in or Terminal Services
session to the selected computer.
You can also launch the Microsoft
Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA)
from the MOM 2005 Operator Console’s Task pane. MOM Workgroup
Edition ships with MBSA 1.2. You can
update to the latest supported version
by downloading the MBSA Management Pack for MOM 2005 at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads. . . .
