ConfigMgr 2012 / SCCM 2012 SP1 Step by Step Guide Part 1: Prerequisites

Back to main menu

Part 1 describes the prerequisites that must be carried out before the successful installation and implementation of Config Mgr 2012 SP1

1. System Management Container
Log on to Domain Controller
Open adsiedit.msc
Connect to Default Naming Context using Default Options

Right Click on System and select New Object


Choose Container





Name the Container System Management (no other name can be used)

Select Finish and see newly created Container









Open Active Directory Users and Computers (dsa.msc). Select View/Advanced Features.

Right click on the new container and select Delegate Control








Complete the wizard granting the Config Mgr Server computer account full control over the System Management container









2. Schema Update
This step can be carried out on local PC (does not have to be on Domain Controller). However you must be logged in using an account with Schema Admin rights

Browse to Config Mgr 2012 media and execute extadsch.exe


See resulting log file (ExtADSch.log)



3. Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) for Windows 8

    In order to Install SCCM 2012 sp1 .net framework 3.5 features must be installed. I think you should include it in this step.

    Thanks for sharing! Regards

    Thanks Bruno. That's a SQL 2012 pre-requisite also and I have installed it here

    It is a SCCM pre-requisite as well if you are installing SCCM in another box. I've tried it here.

    In AD Users and Computers, make sure you have them select View/Advanced Features. If you don't do this, you won't be able to do the Delegate control option.

    Thanks Bruno, for this very detailed and helpful article. I'm setting an SCCM 2012 Primary Site on a child domain that will be completely independent of the parent domain SCCM Site (which exists and in use already). So two are independent primary sites without Central Administration Server. But because extending the Active Directory Schema is forest-wide, how will running ExtADsch.exe affect the existing parent domain SCCM Site? Will my new SCCM site's Attributes and Classes conflict with theirs? Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this.

      Bruno???

      The schema in the parent domain will have been extended if they are using ConfigMgr 2012. Therefore you should not have to do anything in the child domain. The additional attributes should have been added already.

      However you can still run ExtADsch.exe to verify this. It should have no effect on either domain.

    Sincere apologies; I meant Gerry. And you were right that the AD schema had already been extended. Many thanks.

    I installed the adk, but SCCM setup wizard does not see it. What could be the issue?

      What are you installing? You need ADK 8.0 for ConfigMgr 2012 SP1 and ADK 8.1 for R2.

      Hi Malik,

      Is this a lab? How many clients will you manage? What specifically is your question?

    Hi Mr. Gerry

    I received an audit and this anomaly diagnosed in my network, which can solve the sccm 2012

    Quick wins: Deploy dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server logging, and
    utilize a system to improve the asset inventory and help detect unknown systems through this DHCP information.

    Thank you!
    I have a question regarding setup of sccm 2012 r2 in the root/forest AD environment. Assuming that the sccm was installed in the root domain (with schema extended and System Management container created). Do I need to extend the schema/create System Management container in the child domain as well?

      You only need to extend the schema once in the forest where the Site server is installed. You also only need to create the System Management container in the domain where the primary site server is installed.

    I'll be adding a second hierarchy in our domain in order to run SCCM separate from the main site. Does the new stand-alone SCCM server need delegated permissions to the System Management container in AD?

    Hello,

    I have to setup a lab with 3 servers (VM's via VMWARE). One domain controller, one SCCM server, and one DP and app catalog. I'm confused as to what needs to be installed on each of these to make it work. Do you know how to configure this kind of setup?

    HI Garry, Thanks for sharing the informative article on SCCM learning. Just wanted to know why do we install Windows ADK for 8.1 and what is the use of it?

    Thanks!
