Configuration Manager Client Upgrade

[Kevin-ICT]

Hello all, (and especially anyweb, this site has been a great help to me)

 

I have gotten to the point in configuring Config Manager 2007 (on server 2k8 in Hyper-V) where I need to create a package to deploy windows7 to bare metal boxes. The issue I have is when I go to the 'Create Package from Definition Wizard' , I have no option to select Config Manager Client Upgrade. The attached screenshot is from a post here on these forums. It shows what I do not have. I am very sorry if this question has been asked a million times, I did my best to search the forums thoroughly before I posted this. I guess I am hoping someone will simply say 'you forgot to check this box here', and everything will go ahead fine.

 

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Kevin

personally i would fix all the problems one by one in site status before attempting any service pack upgrade or anything else for that matter, it will teach you lots about configuring sccm,

 

that said, are you using windows 2008 server Sp1 or SP2 or r2 ???

Good Morning,

 

I am using Server 2008 STD SP1, I have SP2 available to me to install anytime.

edit--> I should mention that I am installing ConfigMgr07SP2Select_Beta_ENU_6425.2003

Let us know if installing SP2 changed anything in your situation.

Thanks for the reply Peter,

 

I decided to tear the whole thing down and start fresh. I just finished the install of Server 2008 STD SP2 (in Hyper-V), SQL 2005 SP2, installed and configured IIS and WDS and such. I will be installing ConfigMgr07SP2Select_Beta_ENU_6425.2003 momentarily, and I look forward to great things. I learned a lot the first time through, many thanks for the resources of this site, you and anyweb. I will post screenshots on Monday.

 

Have a great weekend,

 

Cheers!
