Prerequisites to scale up the number of monitored devices
using Proxy MS:
1. Ensure that Proxy MS is discovered as an agent-based computer in the SCOM console.
NOTE: Ensure that the Proxy MS is hosted on a Management server that is part of the AMSRP.
2. Ensure that you do the following registry settings on each of the Proxy MS. Perform the below steps:
After extracting the OMIMSSC_7.1.1.0.A00_SCOM.zip file, perform the following steps:
