Hi Justin,

Firstly thanks for the great guide. How would this change if it were for a customer install or would it ? Also even though it is a few years old is there any changes required or tweaks needed for an install now ?

Thanks,

Thanks for the great tutorial.
My question is, where is the best place to locate the Sources and WSUS content folders in a production environment? I am placing my ContentLib on a remote shared location.
Also ideally, what system roles should be installed on the Primary and passive server sites?

Thanks

Hi, will that be done automatically instead of whole SCCM manual installation? Using any scripts like one shot go for all steps?

Thank you, I understood.
Yes I have Active Directory as DC, but it is a physical separate server.
I managed to deal with SSMS problem, now it works.
By the way, best tutorials I have watched, thanks again!

In reply to Linas. The SCCM Site Server doesn't need to be a DC. Do you have another service running the DC?

Hi,

Just Wanted to ask.
I am running Windows Server 2019 Standart for SCCM server.
Is it necessary that server should be promoted to a domain controller?
I have a problem with SQL Server Management Studio, after restart the app does not open up, just opens and closes immediately.

I have been working on setting up an SCCM lab for studying the Pluralsight SCCM Current version course and this will be a huge help! Thank you very much!

Very usefully. I spent days for setting up my own homelab but still having issues. After I followed the instructions, it finally worked. It’s very good.

In reply to vijayasekharnaidu. Because most authentication is done via AD for computers and users.

Hi May I know why Active Directory required to install SCCM as a prerequisite?
After installation , I hope to discover the resource AD will be usefull. But before installation of SCCM why AD is required?

In reply to Markus. Not sure, no backups of the content library drive?

Hi Justin,

Perfect how to. THX

Unfortunately my HD crashed (in your stream j:drive) and I do not have any chance to Access this HD anymore. Is there a chance to “rebuild” this drive?

Hi Justin, Thank you for the excellent videos! A question on the SUP. I have only one in my site, do I have to add it to every boundary group or how do the clients know where to get their software updates from?

In reply to Ashish Nalawde.. For #1 you are talking about migrating from SCCM 2007 to 2012?

Hi Justin, thanks a lot for putting step by step with details explation. It’s really help me.

I have two question.
1. How about SQL database migration when we do migration from 2007 to 2012 or current branch migration. What I think is just to create database on migrated latest version of SQL and then copy old backup files to path folder then it will get added with new one.

2. I gone through your current branch migration videos. What I can understand is that it will get auto configur we won’t have to do anything.
Correct me for both of these question.

Check the collation before installing SQL server (at 10:40). It should be set to SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS. I did not do that and had to start over after the prerequisite check of SCCM failed.
