Update - Moving the Operations Manager Reporting Server
You probably have noticed in the latest released of the Operations Manager 2007 Backup & Restore Guide, as well as the Operations Manager 2007 Operations Guide, that we have not provided a set of procedures for moving the Operations Manager Reporting Server (which has a dependency on SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services and would be included also). This has been one of the commonly requested scenarios that customers have been asking for lately, and understandably so.
To bring you up to date, a short while ago we had come up with a draft of the steps necessary to mvoe it, conducted some testing and uncovered a configuration issue. Not getting into details as to what the configuration issue was, it was deemed important enough to file a bug with the product group and ensure it will be addressed in Service Pack 1.
When Service Pack 1 for Operations Manager 2007 is released, shortly thereafter we intend on providing a set of procedures to support the move of the Reporting Server. Fortunately, that is right around the corner so I respectfully ask that you bear with us and hang tight just a little bit longer.
While I am on the topic of Disaster Recovery for Operations Manager, I wanted to let you know that we are looking to address the gaps, need for additional detail, and guidance for other scenarios. Undersatnding that this guide has been a bit "light" and doesn't help with your planning efforts, all I can share with you now is the fact I am pushing hard to make this a priority and help author a more detailed document. If you have suggestions, please feel free to send them my way so we can consider them based on relevance and commonality.
