55004A: Installing and Configuring System Center Operations

Manager 2012 - Build Guide

This document is to be used to set up the required systems for 55004A: Installing and Configuring
System Center Operations Manager 2012. The guide relies on a host system running Windows Server
2008 R2 Service Pack 1 with Hyper-V and virtual machines running Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack
1 and Windows 7 Enterprise. The instructor and each student will require one computer with the
required hardware, software and virtual machines. It is the responsibility of the local setup person to
acquire required software and hardware as well as to stay within licensing guidelines. No hardware or
software is provided with this build guide.

NOTE: The settings for the virtual machines indicate 1024MB -2048MB RAM per system. This is a
minimal amount of RAM and assumes systems with 8GB physical RAM total. If your systems have more
than 8GB physical RAM then you may want to increase the amount of RAM to some of the virtual
machines. For example if 12GB of physical RAM is available the suggested amount of RAM per virtual
machine is

DC : 1024MB
SQL: 2048MB
MS: 2048MB
MS2: 2048MB
Gateway: 2048MB
Client: 1024MB
