Looking for documentation that shows any prerequisites for the agent install. We are particularly worried about .NET versions. We are planning to deploy 2016 1901 or SCOM 2019 in the next few weeks. As soon as they are released.

It does not mention .NET and I don’t recall seeing anything about a .NET requirement in the past.

Thanks I was not seeing a requirement for it either but wanted to verify. I know SCCM does have some .net requirements.
