Install SCOM 2016 step by step
In this article I will cover SCOM 2016 installation step by step for a scenario which I consider is very popular.
In this scenario I have on company with one building, one domain with 3000 computers and 300 servers, all the servers are in the building data center so no SCOM GW are required.
I planed to use:
Virtual servers

2 *2.2Ghz |
24Gb |
