Posted October 30, 200816 yr Hi all I'm hoping someone can shed some enlightenment. I'm configuring SCOM for a customer and we're trying to monitor machines in a DMZ that are not part of a domain. In fact although they are in workgroups, there are no workgroup servers. The servers and PCs that are needing monitoring are all standalone. We've stood up a standalone root CA, and created certificates for the SCOM servers, imported them to both the Local Computer store and used MOMCertImport.exe to use them with SCOM. However, all the documentation I've seen so far says that to create the certificate for the non-domain machines, the cert requires a FQDN. How can you use and FQDN for a machine that is not a member of a domain? We created a certificate with just the computer name in the Name field, but seem to have no joy here. To forestall responses about using a Gateway server, the customer is adamantly opposed to this. (No $$ for the hardware) So, can anyone help out? (I posted this in the Ops Manager forum as well). TIA!
