ovowconfigutil


The Server Configuration dialog box in the HPOM console enables you to change many different values, which control many different aspects of a management server's configuration. ovowconfigutil enables you to download these server configuration values to a file. This may be useful, for example, for backup purposes or to migrate customized values to another management server.

ovowconfigutil downloads the current set of server configuration values into a Management Object Format (MOF) file. You later upload this MOF file using the mofcomp command, which Microsoft provides. You can upload the MOF file to management servers with HPOM for Windows version 8.00 or later.
