I have received feedback that some folks are having problems with the below link. I will work with the connect folks to figure that out, in the meantime, I have attached the file directly to the blog. Hopefully, that will help.

When preparing to deploy SCCM 2007 in your lab or production environment there are a lot of things you need to do to help ensure that the server setup will run smoothly.

We developed something that we call the "Pre-Flight Checklist" as a way to help ensure that those tasks are complete before you even lauch setup.

It is in a format that enables it to be used the "good old fashioned" way, by printing it out, and phyiscally "checking off" each item once it is complete.

Please check it out and send us feedback on what you think works, doens't work or if anything you feel is missing.
