This article was previously published under Q295872



SYMPTOMS
Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) can create and use Microsoft Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) provider namespace.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because a successful installation of MOM places the Om.mof file in the \Program Files\Microsoft Operations Manager 2000\OnePoint folder, where   is the drive in which MOM is installed.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
When the Om.mof file is compiled by Mofcomp.exe, a root\MCS namespace is created in WMI. This extension is used to facilitate alerts by using an alternate MOM provider, specifically WMI. For more information about WMI, Mofcomp.exe, and .mof files, view the following Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) Web site:
