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.
