officially supported or not supported on SCCM)
Note: I was originally going to use SQL 2005 – hence the reason the SQL servers name is SCCM-SQL2005,
however I bit the bullet and used SQL 2008 R2 instead.
Solution
Step 1: SCCM Domain pre install work.
1. Create two groups in Active Directory.
a. sccm administrator group SCCM-ADMIN b. sql administrator group SQL-ADMIN
2. Add both groups to the Domain Admin’s group.
3. Create two new users: sccmadmin and sqladmin.
4. Add sccmadmin to SCCM-ADMIN group and add sqladmin to SQL-ADMIN group.

2. Add the following IIS Role Services:
a. HTTP redirection. b. ASP.Net
c. Windows Authentication. d. IIS6 Metabase compatibility. e. IIS6 WMI compatibility.

3. Add the following “server Features”:
a. Background Intelligent Transfer Service. b. Remote Differential Compression.
4. If you are NOT running Windows Server 2008 R2 Download and install WebDav (already included in Windows
Server 2008 R2). If you are running R2 skip to the next step.
5. Server Manager > Roles > Web Server (IIS) > Add Role Services > WebDAV Publishing > Next > Close.
6. To enable WebDav > Start > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager > Expand {server
name} > Sites > Default Web Site > WebDav Authoring Rules.

10. Change “Allow Anonymous Properties Queries” to True > Change “Allow Custom Properties” to False > Change
“Allow Property Query with Infinite Depth” to True > Change “Allow hidden files to be listed” to True > Apply.
11. WSUS needs to installed on the SCCM server – Note Server 2008 R2 needs (WSUS Server Update Services 3.0
SP2). If you try and install SP 1 you will see this error.
12. From the WSUS installation choose “Full server installation” > DO NOT accept the default “Use the existing IIS
Default Web site” > Use “”Create a Windows Server Update Services 3.0 SP2 Web site” (Note: this will use port TCP
8530 by default).

Step 4: Prepare Active Directory for SCCM
1. Extend the schema > From the install media > SMSSETUP > BIN > 1386 > extadsch.exe
2. Check the above was successful by opening the c:extADsch.txt file it should say “”successfully extended the
Active Directory Schema”.
3. We now need to create some active directory objects go to a domain controller > Start > Administrative tools >
ADSI Edit > Action > connect to > leave everything on its defaults > OK.

2. From within the SCCM setup media run splash.hta > Run the Pre requisite checker > Enter the SQL Server name
> SCCM server name and the FQDN of the SCCM server > OK.
3. Note If you cannot talk to the SQL server then check that the Windows firewall is not blocking you (on the SQL
server Start > run > firewall.cpl > Turn it off).
4. All being well it should say “All required pre requisite tests have completed successfully” > OK.

DO NOT ever try and change this code and don’t forget it!!

considerably more work). > Next.
