The MOM Remote Prerequisite Checker (MomNetChk.Exe) is a remote Network check utility that is included in the MOM 2005 Resource Kit available as a download at the end of this post.
The utility can be run on a server or workstation and does not have to be a MOM server or MOM agent managed machine to execute as long as the MomNetChk.exe and the MomNetChk.exe.manifest files are in the same directory folder on the local machine from where the applet is being executed from.
When executed the tool opens with the local host machine as the computer name but you can enter a remote server machine name to run the pre-requisite checks on. Once the machine has been scanned the tool will identify if the necessary services and ports are available for an agent push or will accept a discovery. The tool also enumerates the information listed below and marks them as either an Error (Red) Warning (Orange) or Success (Green). When you select one to view such as the MCF – TCP information under the Connector Framework leaf the information is presented to you in the right hand side with the collected information.
