In a recent gathering of the SBS MVPs, I know of no one using MOM.
I think the issue you might have with MOM and SBS is trusts. =20
Many of the MVPs are using the Monitoring and Reporting tools to receive =
a morning email about the status of networks. You can certainly modify =
what you'd want to see on that report.
Perhaps others will post some ideas

Thanks for your feedback Chris.
I have since taken a look at Managed Workplace and on first =
impressions it=20
does seem to cover much of the ground we're interested in. However I'd =
still=20
be interested in using MOM for it's integration with HP Insight =
Manager and=20
Dell OpenManage (although I thoroughly intend to evaluate Managed =
Workplace).
Consequently if anyone has any experience of configuring such a =
solution=20
with MOM, or could recommend other alternative methods of monitoring =
remote=20
networks I would be most appreciative.
Regards,
James
