To download the KMS Management Pack, go to the System Center Operations Manager product catalog at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=110332. This download includes a Management Pack guide that covers installation, configuration, and included rules. Several sample reports are also included, as well as data grooming and indexing processes.

KMS Activity Reporting

If an OpsMgr 2005 agent is installed on KMS hosts, the event log data generated on the KMS host is collected and forwarded to the Operations data warehouse. The data is then aggregated in the Operations data warehouse, so it is available for reports. Table 3 describes the reports that are included in the KMS Management Pack.
