Purpose: Windows Embedded is the operating system and development platform that delivers the power of Windows in a componentized form for reliable and advanced embedded devices. Based on Windows Professional technology, Windows Embedded enables developers to select only the features they need to build customized, reduced-footprint software for embedded devices.

The OpsMgr 2007 R2 Agent Prerequisite Component for Windows Embedded installs the necessary components that support the OpsMgr 2007 R2 Agent on Windows Embedded. This allows you to then install the OpsMgr 2007 R2 Agent and monitor the health of Windows Embedded in the same way as you monitor the health of other Microsoft operating systems.

Download Contents: When installed on the machine running the Target Designer, the OpsMgr 2007 R2 Agent Prerequisite Component adds the necessary Windows Embedded components to your Component Database. After you have installed an image created with this component, you will need to deploy the OpsMgr 2007 R2 Agent separately.
