Hi,
Before I get started I wish this LAB helpful to practice and get familiar with System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP1, this wiki is (Step By Step Guide Install and Configure ConfigMgr 2007)
This lab is based on (Virtual Machine) I'm using VMware Workstation 6.5.1
I assume you have first installed on you Virtual Machine:
1. Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard
- 2. System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP1
- 3. SQL 2005 with Service Pack 2
- Note" SQL Server 2005, Service Pack 2 is the only version of SQL Server supported for hosting the Configuration Manager 2007 site database.
- 4. WSUS3.0 SP1
- 5. 4 Windows XP SP2 Clients
Domain Controller Server:
- Computer name: DCSRV
- Domain: ektifan.loc
- IP address: 192.168.2.20
- Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
- Default Gateway: 192.168.2.2
ConfigMgr2007 Server:
- Computer name: CMSRV
- IP address: 192.168.2.21
- Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
- Default Gateway: 192.168.2.2
- SQL 2005 SP3
- WSUS3.0 SP1
Windows XP SP2 Clients PCs:
- 1. XP-WST1 192.168.2.22
- 2. XP-WST2 192.168.2.23
- 3. XP-WST3 192.168.2.24
- 4. XP-WST4 192.168.2.25 Note" This PC Physical will be use for OS deployment
ConfigMgr 2007 requires a few things to be prepared and configured before installing the product.
We will be using CMSRV Server to complete this task:
- IIS 6.0, with BITS 2.0
- a. Go to Control Panel
- 1. Add or Remove Programs
- 2. Add/Remove Windows Components
- 3. Application Server click on Details
- 4. Select Internet Information Services (IIS), ASP.NET and click on Details
- 5. Select Background Intelligent Transfer Services (BITS) Server Extensions
- 6. Click Ok 2 times and click on Next then Finish
WebDAV extensions must be enabled:
- a. Go to Administrative Tools> Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
- 1. Expand the (local computer)
- 2. Click on Web Services Extensions
- 3. Click on WebDAV
- 4. Click on Allow
- Extend the Active Directory schema
We will be using DCSRV Server to complete this task:
Extend the Active Directory schema by running the ExtADSch.exe file located in the SMSSETUP\BIN\I386 folder on the Configuration Manager 2007 installation media to add the new classes and attributes to the Active Directory schema
- Note" extending the schema is an irreversible action
Go to Command Prompt, drag and drop EXtADSch.exe then Enter
Active Directory Schema done... but we need to verify that the schema extension was successful by reviewing the extadsch.log located in the root of the system drive C:\
Now we need to set security permissions on the System container we will use the Computer Account for the permissions to successfully enable Configuration Manager Clients to query Active Directory Domain Services to locate site resources
Go to Active Directory users and computers and make sure that Advanced Features selected
- 1. Select System > Right-Click Properties
- 2. Click on Security
- 3. Click on Advanced
- 4. Click on Add
- 5. Click Object Types
- 6. Click on Computers click Ok
- Select the ConfigMgr Server name and click on Ok. in my lab (CMSRV)
- Select the computer and click on Add
- On Object select Apply onto and select This object and all child objects click Full Control
Click Ok, OK and OkJ to complete the permission
Now we completed the prerequisites preparation before start the party
Asem Alhourani: I would like to add here that the above procedure is a must when you want the Setup Program to create the ‘Systems Management’ container.<o:p></o:p>
If you want to create the container manually make sure to install the ADMTedit.msc; However I prefer the method introduced above by Mazen.<o:p></o:p>
Install and Configure ConfigMgr 2007 SP1 Step By Step
We will be using CMSRV Server to complete this task:
After click on SPLASH.HTA the menu appears click on Run the prerequisite checker, we'll do this to see if our windows needs any additional fix the warnings/errors prior to installing ConfigMgr 2007 SP1
Enter your server name as below. (CMSRV)
This gave us prerequisites which needed looking at, the AD Schema extensions before start the installation. (We extend Schema but this example)
Asem Alhourani: A note here: extending the Active Directory Schema is not a must hence it only returned a warning, and if you notice a warning still allows you to begin the installation.<o:p></o:p>
Once you completed the check without any Error or Warning click on Begin Install. You can double check in the log file ConfigMgrPrereq.log in drive C:\
Welcome screen
Because thisis the first site server choose the first option, Install a Configuration Manager Site Server
Accept the license [:D]
The type of installation we want to see all the options, choose Custom
Site Type, this is will be our (Primary Site)
Decide if you want to participate in CEIP
Product Key will be there
Where to install it you can change the directory
Asem Alhourani: I prefer to install it in a different drive than the drive holds the OS, however its acceptable as this is a lab.<o:p></o:p>
Site settinsg, in the Site Code in the lab JED and the friendly site name Head Office
Site Mode, we will choose Mixed Mode the Native Mode needs a certificate installed
Asem Alhourani: You need to have a PKI in the environment
Client Agent Selection specify default
Database server details
Specify your SMS provider settings
Specify the ConfigMgr Management Point FQDN CMSRV.EKTIFAN.LOC to avoid any mistake copy and paste from the computer properties by default will be there
Port setting I'll use the default port 80
Check the update perquisites components; you need to specify from where to download this update from the Internet or if you have these update 89 files download. In my lab I'll go with second options
We need to create a local folder to store these updates. In lab folder name (prereq)
Updates will be downloaded if we chose to download check the update from the internet
Once it's done review the setting summary and click Next
Start the prerequisite check (final) as everything is ok will check the log file ConfigMgrPrereq.log.
You can click on Begin Install
We will see the installation started it will take long time
Once the installation begin you can monitoring the process of the installation from the log file ConfigMgrSetup.log in the drive C:\
After a long wait you will see Setup has finished the installing click Next
The completing setup wizard you can click on Launch the ConfigMgr Console after closing or click Finish to Finish the installation [;)]
Configuration Manager 2007 SP1 is now installed; we need to launch the console
Go to Start > All Programs > Microsoft System Center > Configuration Manager 2007 > ConfigMgr Console
From the Configuration Manager Console we can see all the nodes we can check the setup status from the log file ConfigMgrSetup.log and form the ConfigMgr Console
From the console go to System Status> Site Status you can check Component Status and Site System Status witch installed
We will be using DCSRV Server to complete this task:
Now we need to back to the Active Directory Server to check if the System Management Container created or not. Inside the System Management we can see SMS Management Point and SMS Site
Our preparation and installation are completed. And I think we're in a good shape.
This is (Part 1) we've completed:
Adding Authoring rules in WebDav and changing WebDav settings
- Extending the Active Directory Schema
- Making sure the System Management container in Active Directory has the correct permissions for CMSRV
- Checking and fixing errors in CMSRV System Status from Log
- Installed ConfigMgr2007 SP1
In (Part 2) covers:
- Configure the Distribution Point (DP)
- Configuring Management Point (MP)
- Configuring Server Locater Point (SLP)
- Configuring Boundary
- Configuring the Client Agents, setting up
- Configuring client installation methods and
- Configuring discovery methods
