Help i've installed MOM, now what?

[Clayton Sutton]

I just installed MOM 2005 on a Windows 2003 server. I have deployed and
agent to me Exchange 2003 server and have imported "Management Packs". I
also installed the "Exchange 2003 Management Pack Configuration Wizard".
All of that went fine! Now what do I do?

Do I have to add the Exchange server to a group or rule or something?
Anyone know of any GOOD docs to tell me what to do from this point? I have
found a lot of docs on MS website but they don't seem to tell me what to do
now. Thanks for any and all help.

Good question Clayton,

There are many helpful configuration documents that can ease the configuration
of the Active Directory, Exchange and other MPs. I suggest you start with
these, which give you the step-by-step for configuring the AD and Exchange
Managment Packs.
