IPAM is capable of monitoring the IP addresses spaces in VMM to show trend analysis on IP address usage within VMM Logical Network. It is also capable of monitoring physical networks to give you a holistic approach to IP address management. It can show you all the IP addresses that are currently in use across your network in both the physical and virtual environments.
For this recipe, you will require the IPAM server to be installed (this was discussed in the previous recipe). Additionally, you will need a Run As account created in VMM that has the following permissions on the IPAM server:
IPAM ASM Administrators: This is a local group that exists on all IPAM servers and provides permissions for IP address space management (ASM)
Remote Management Users: This is a built-in group that provides access to WMI resources through management protocols, such as WS-Management through the Windows Remote Management service
