Deploying Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager

Installing Configuration Manager

Well-thought hierarchy and properly planned configuration of the server is the foundation of success while deploying ConfigMgr server.

This chapter covers the following topics:

  • The process of installing all prerequisites and configuring the environment before installing the ConfigMgr server
  • Preparation for the ConfigMgr server installation
  • The ConfigMgr installation process in the primary site type

Configuration Manager installation process

This chapter covers topics related to the installation of ConfigMgr in the primary site type. Firstly, it will take you through all the prerequisites that the environment must fulfill for the installation to be successful, and then it will introduce the process of server installation.

The requirements that need to be met are not especially hard to achieve either.

Here are the core steps when installing ConfigMgr:

  1. The installation of an operating system.
  2. Configuration and updating the operating system.
  3. Granting permissions for the creation of the System Management container.
  4. Granting permissions for the computer account to save configuration in the Active Directory database.
  1. The installation of the Web Server (IIS) role and additional components.
  2. The installation of Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit.
  3. The installation of the ConfigMgr...

Summary

This chapter covered how to properly go through the process of ConfigMgr 1706 installation, which is not a hard task if you're well prepared. Main tasks included installing the operating system, MS SQL Server, and the rest of the prerequisites. Some configuration data also needs to be prepared, along with a few fundamental decisions that need to be made, which has been also covered in this chapter.

The next chapter covers configuring sites, boundaries, and boundary groups. Boundaries define networks for managed devices, while boundary groups are logical groups of boundaries. Proper configuration of these components is a cornerstone for successful installation and communication between server and clients.

I got this book and I use it quite often.I'm a system enginner and administrator of Microsoft systems with more than 15 years of experience.This book allowed me to set my SCCM/ConfigMgr knowledge in order. Starting from explaining basic ConfigMgr terms and a possible scenarios of using, through the process of planning and deploying the server and agents, up to the daily system's management.If you would like to use ConfigMgr features like the Compliance Settings, Software Distribution, Update Management, Operating Systems Deployment or Endpoint Protection efficiently, this book is for you.

The book explains the Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager by colliding the theoretical knowledge with author's deployment experience. As I was more interested in that second part, the described scenerios consists of range from basic to complex cases and allow to create own solutions of using SCCM in our own production environment.Although the book is based on version 1706 of ConfigMgr, the usability of few earlier version aspects is explained alongside the new possibilities of previously mentioned 1706. I believe, that the content will be up-to-date for a few years from now.If you are interested in using SCCM, this book can settle your current knowledge and show the way to some tested, known scenerios, that will help your own environment

This book serves no purpose. From the preface, "It is not strictly for administrators and operators as we do not go very deep into the details of the configuration and administration of individual system components."This book delivers a cursory overview of the features of SCCM. You could find more useful information from any number of blog posts on the internet. $40.00 is a lot of money for so little information.
