In the document "Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 Deployment Guide" I read
that using Multitiered Management Groups I can have up to 10 Source
Management Groups communicating with a Destination Management Group.

I this case I can monitor only up to 10 customers (every customer is a
Source Managent Group in an isolated network environment from each other)
poniting to the same Destination Management Group.

Can I create more than only one Destination Management Group on the same MOM
Server (acting as "Manager of Managers") to manage more than 10 Source
Managent Groups?
For example putting the first 10 Source Managent Groups in the first
Destination Management Group, the next 10 Source Managent Groups in the
second Destination Management Group and so on...

Thank you a lot !!!

What you want cannot be done exactly the way you want it (you cannot have
multiple destinations on the same Management Server), but you can set up a
third tier to gather data from the Destinations on the second tier. Here is
how this works:

1. You set up your source Management Servers to send to one of several
destination Management Servers.

2. These destination Management Servers in turn are the sources for another
destination Management Server. Like a pyramid formation.

The Deployment Guide didn't go into specifics about this scenario because of
all the possible combinations possible to cover.

I haven't heard of anyone doing a third tier, but it is possible. I will
forward any details I might hear about this to you.
