1. Register OMS workspace in SCOM MS
2. Add computers/groups in SCOM MS for the OMS connection
3. SCOM MS downloads the NPM Intelligence Pack (IP)
4. It also downloads additional configurations of IP (in case any)
5. Agents on computers pulls the IP & config from SCOM MS
6. Agents on computers uploads the data to OMS web service directly
or via proxy (dedicated or co-located with SCOM MS)
