ConfigMgr 2012 / SCCM 2012 SP1 Step by Step Guide Part 3: ConfigMgr 2012 SP1 Installation



Part 3 describes the installation of Config Mgr 2012 SP1

A single server was required for all roles in a Primary Site. Note that a Central Administration Site (CAS) is generally not required for site of under 100,00 devices.

1. NO_SMS_ON_DRIVE

Create a blank file on root of C: drive and rename it NO_SMS_ON_DRIVE.SMS

If this file is present Config Mgr will not attempt to use this drive as a Distribution Point


2. Install Config Mgr



Install Stand-Alone Primary Site (not typical)


Accept License Terms


Accept License Terms as required


If you have Internet access choose to download the Config Mgr Pre-Requisite files to a location on the server - they are required for the installation. If the server does not have internet access you may use previously downloaded files.



Choose English


Configure 3-character Site Code (P01 is default)
Specify a name that will identify the site


Choose to install a Primary Site as a Stand-Alone Site


Accept Warning


Enter FQDN of SQL server - in our case the same server.
Enter instance name - in our case blank for default



Edit 21st November 2013: ConfigMgr 2012 R2 has one additional configuration screen


It allows you to configure the location of the CM database and log files. I just choose the folder that I have already configured while installing SQL.


End of Edit: Continue

Enter FQDN of Config Mgr server


Configure to use http rather than https


Install Management Point and Distribution Point
Enter FQDN of Config Mgr server



Review Summary



Watch Progress



3. Verify Config Mgr Installation

Verify that database has been created



Verify that Config Mgr Site has been published to Active Directory. This is crucial so that Config Mgr clients can find their Management Point.


Verify Config Mgr Site Status


Verify Config Mgr Component Status
