The supported method for migrating a management pack is using the MOM 2005 to Operations Manager 2007 Migration Tool. This tool provides the four options for converting a MOM 2005 MP to an OpsMgr 2007 compatible MP:

  • Convert MP from Live MOM 2005 Mgmt Group to Live OpsMgr 2007 Mgmt Group
  • Convert MP from Live MOM 2005 Mgmt Group to an unsealed OpsMgr 2007 MP file (xml)
  • Convert MP from MOM 2005 MP file (akm) to Live OpsMgr 2007 Mgmt Group
  • Convert MP from MOM 2005 MP file (akm) to an unsealed OpsMgr 2007 MP file (xml)

The tools requires the MOM 2005 UI to be loaded on the same Opsmgr 2007 MP

The Migration tool  does NOT require a live MOM 2005 management group 

How to convert management packs for OpsMgr 2007 (without a live MOM 2005 management group)

The MOM 2005 MP to OpsMgr 2007 MP conversion process basically consists of three steps:

  1. The MOM 2005 akm file is converted to MOM 2005 xml
  2. The xml file is then converted to OpsMgr 2007 compatible xml format
  3. The OpsMgr 2007 xml is then verified to ensure it can be successfully imported

The steps in this process can be performed manually using 3 command line utilities:

  • The MP2XML.exe utility from the MOM 2005 Resource Kit can be used to convert the akm file to xml
  • The MPConvert.exe utility in the OpsMgr 2007 installation directory can be used to convert the MOM 2005 xml to OpsMgr 2007 compatible xml format
  • The MPVerify.exe utility in the OpsMgr 2007 installation directory can be used to validate the MP against the Opsmgr 2007 MP schema to ensure it can be imported successfully.
