obviously SCCM (System Center Configuration Manager) is capable of deploying more than FireFox, but if you can deploy one application then the sky's the limit !

hi all,

i've been busy setting up SCCM 2007 SP1 in Windows 2008 and now that i've got it installed and working i thought i'd share with you how that was done, it wasn't exactly straightforward so i've documented all the steps I took from installation right through to configuration.

This guide assumes that you have first setup Windows Server 2008 and configured it for Active Directory, with DHCP (you only need steps 1 and 2 of this guide), installed and configured IIS (for SCCM) and installed SQL Server 2005 and WSUS.

Once you have completed the requirements listed above, you have to install SCCM and that will involve fixing any prerequisite checks and proceeding with the installation itself.

Next you have to go through a fairly lengthy configuration process for SCCM, I've broken that down into three parts below:-

Part 1 > SCCM 2007 SP1 configuration guide

The guide covers:-

Adding SCCM computer account to SMS groups, setting site boundries and verifying the site name is configured for Active Directory and setting and configuring the site system roles.

Part 2 > SCCM 2007 SP1 configuration guide

The guide covers:-

Configuring the Distribution Point (DP) and the Management Point (MP), adding Authoring rules in WebDav and changing WebDav settings, making sure the System Management container in Active Directory has the correct permissions for SCCM, checking and fixing errors in SCCM System Status.

Part 3 > SCCM 2007 SP1 configuration guide

The guide covers:-

Configuring the Client Agents, setting up client installation methods and configuring discovery methods.

Once you've completed the above you are ready to deploy an application in SCCM 2007 SP1

and this 4 step guide covers:

Creating a package

Creating a program

Advertising the package

Distributing the advertisement

I hope that some of you find the above useful,

if I get time I will update the guide and include using the OSD feature in SCCM to deploy Windows Vista SP1 or Windows Server 2008 using Zero Touch (ZTI).

cheers

    • I never knew Windows had a "hidden" collection of tools

      By jordanspringer · Posted

      I cannot believe this is a news post from Neowin. This should be embarassing, coming from a "senior editor". Is it your first day using Windows?! Maybe it's time to find a new Windows news site.
    • Module Blocked - Is this Okay?

      By SuperDuckGuy · Posted

      It's from having Core Isolation enabled in Windows security settings, which is a good thing!  It's letting you know it's not loading the Bonjour module as it's not signed in a way it would prefer. Bonjour was most likely installed along with iTunes. Feel free to disable that message using the checkbox.

      I'm looking forward to starting over online. I have no reason to keep all the money, cars, rank after 13 years. Now if I can just move my character itself and nothing else. I would be fine with that. But I doubt they would do a setup that way.
