The MOM 2005 Workgroup Edition like the regular MOM 2005 edition will provide you and your organization with the tools and processes necessary to maintain and monitor your infrastructure server’s event management among other things. It does so by giving you tools to proactively monitor events and alert you when issues arise based on the criteria of the management pack(s) you install.
The MOM 2005 Workgroup Edition is deigned for infrastructure organizations that have a small environment such as a small business, a training or teaching facility or for anyone with ten servers or less to manage. The workgroup edition is comparable to the full version of MOM 2005 however the following are not included in the Workgroup edition:
Reporting Console
SQL Server Reporting and Database
MOM Connector Framework
Bi-directional Multi-Tiering
Note: See the document Edition Comparison of MOM 2005 and MOM 2005 Workgroup for a complete listing of the features available:

The MOM 2005 Workgroup Edition is a standalone management tool and as such all of the MOM components are installed onto the same physical server including its database. This simply means that you can only have one MOM server in your organization and it cannot communicate with other MOM servers. This means that you cannot link other MOM servers to it even if they are all MOM 2005 Workgroup Edition servers.
The MOM 2005 Workgroup Edition requires a server Client Access License (CAL) for each of the servers that it is to manage (No more than 10) and requires a SQL server license however no device management or Operation Management Licenses (OML’s) are needed. SQL server 2000 is initially required and can be licensed as a per processor license or per server if needed.
