Hi,

My understanding is that System Center is not needed, it's just one of the options. If you're not using it, you can simply install the monitoring agent (MMA) on your domain controller, and configure it to use your Log Analytics workspace (don't have a workspace yet? creating one is easy).

Yes, Correct i had also checked with MS Support on this, only reason i wanted to be sure as in most of the documents it reads it is a part of OMS,

MS Support also has confirmed the same SCOM is not mandatory,

Azure Subscription is as it an Azure Service which is also used by Many Azure based Services like PowerBI, Security & Compliance in O365 etc..
