Hi, You can use a certificate solution http://kevingreeneitblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/using-internal-certificates-with-scom.html http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/systemcenter/thread/f1d2e32b-9295-4214-a190-ff5009650ec3/ http://blogs.msdn.com/b/nitgupta/archive/2009/09/28/what-does-it-take-to-monitor-servers-in-workgroup-from-scom.aspx Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

Hi, In general SCOM relies on kerberos auth with in a domain. For monitoring servers in un-trusted domain or DMZ or in a workgroup environment we use certificates. If you 've multiple servers you can make use of Gateway component in SCOM so that all servers in that domain report back to Gateway server and then gateway report back to one of the MS. If servers are less on in DMZ or workgroup you can directly configure certificate for those servers. You need to ensure port 5723 is open and fqdn is in place between your MS and GW or DMZ servers, if that is in use. Aport from links mentioned above you can also look at below ref: Obtain a Certificate Using Windows Server 2008 Enterprise CA in Operations Manager 2007 http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd362553.aspx Deploying Gateway Server http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb432149.aspx HTH Thanks, Varun
