    Hello

    Hopefully this is a simple question, I may just be missing some thing obvious

    I have SCOM 2007 R2

    When I download and run the MSI to unpack he MP, I understand where it extract the files. I then go to SCOM Console and Import the MP, not problems so far.

    However I would expect the MP import process to also place a copy of the MP in the "C:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager 2007" folder. However on several occasion when I have needed to point/find a Management Pack for various reasons, the MP or MPs do not appear to be in this folder. I guess I could always go back to the location where the MP is extracted from the MSI and reference them there. However I thought they should all reside in the "C:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager 2007" folder as a matter of course.

    Any advice, most welcome please

    Thanks

    when you imported management pack into your scom environment, the management pack information is stored into scom DB. It DOES NOT save any copies on your local machine.

    Hi AanotherUser,

    It depends on a management pack, some of them place a copy of .mp files to C: drive, some don't.

    When you import MP manual and install msi, By default it' s extract files on "C:\Program Files\System Center Management Packs".

    The Management Packs are not stored locally on the RMS/MS machines. they get stored in DB.

    however you can find them on agents under c:\program files\system center operations manager\Agent\health service state\management packs.
