Yes, we have undertaken the project of getting the complete suite of Systems Centre Tools all running from the same box. Whats more we have decided to do this using Server 2008. I have not been able to find a single documented case of anyone else unfortunate enough to venture into the scenario.....the install of all these systems alone (without any configuration) has taken around 4 weeks.
You would expect Microsoft would fully support all these "2007" labeled products on the flagship server product "Server 2008".....but no, we have continiously encountered the classic Microsoft banner "non supported scenario". Not one to let something as trivial as compatibility get in the way, and owing to the fact that we want to move forward with Server 2008, we decided to plod on with the project, using 2008 as the base.
I'm pleased to say that IT CAN BE DONE. However, as I mentioned it took several weeks to make it work, but I will be posting full documentation. The problems mainly arise because Ops Manager wont install on a fully updated and service packed version of SQL server, and Config Manager 2007 wont install on a non service packed version of SQL server. This coupled with the fact that there are compatibility issues between version of SQL Server on 64 bit Server 2008, means that the install needs to be done in an exact order, updating at the correct point in the sequence, and making sure that the new IIS7 is backward compatible....or thinks it is!!
Anyway, full instructions on installing these products on Serer 2008 will follow shortly...
