Excellent instructions!

For those of you who want to install SCCM 2007 SP1 in native mode and have trouble with the certificates in Windows Server 2008, I wrote down my experiences here:

Hi!

I have one question: why should we add the role of the new domain controller for the server? Is it some specific trick for Server 2k8 or it is requirement for some SCCM site system?

Hi,

I think you and Microsoft should clarify that both ASP.NET and ASP must be installed. If ASP is omitted your reporting point will not function.

It is not a requirement for Server 2008 or ConfigMgr 2007 to be running on a domain controller for ConfigMgr 2007 to install on Server 2008. I just add this step in as all servers in my lab are domain controllers

Hi Jens

Thanks for pointing out the ASP requirement - in my haste to get the post written whilst waiting for a plane home from Seattle - i missed that bit...I have updated the post with a link to your site...

I would recommend to run SQL service before you run sqlprov tool, because it fails otherwise.

What is the reason to disable IPv6?

Thanks,

The webdav link goes straight to x86. Is there a reason for this? If you try to install it on an X64 server you get this error, "the iis 7.0 corewebengine and w3svc features must be installed to use this product"

Could you post what firewall rules must be enabled, so SCCM could install agents on remote 2008 servers?

I am a little unclear on how to do this.

Add a domain account to the SQL sysadmin role. This is unique requirement in Server 2008 environment.

Can you give me a little more instruction please?

Can ANYONE tell me what AD accounts need to be configured for SCCM? Are they the same as SMS?

Has anyone had any issues running ConfigMgr 2007 on a Server 2008 64-bit OS??

I'm getting randon errors when trying to integrate the MDT extensions.

Does SCCM2007 have to be installed on a domain controller?

It does not need to be on a DC. This is just used as an example in this blog.

Thanks,

Ben
