Hi, I'm moving from a 2007 environment with one Primary and 1 secondary, each in a east/west datacenter. We then have a Distro Point in each of our 12 offices for local package caching. Can I mirror this design in 2012 or do I need a CAS in front of the Primary. Everything I have read about building a Standalone Primary doesn't mention if you can add Secondary Site servers beneath it.

 

Also, what data is stored within the Secondary Site SQL database? Everything I read says it does participate in Database Replication, but doesn't say what specifically is being replicated. I am trying to decide if I should give it a real (off box) SQL server or just go with SQL Express.

 

Thanks,

no, the link is not wrong, you are required to put some thought into whether you want a CAS or a Standalone Primary, the new link (setting up a CAS and then Setting up a primary), shows how to use the latest versions of SQL etc at that time (release of RTM), if you are installing Configuraiton Manager 2012 from scratch then i'd recommend you follow the new guides, the decision to install a CAS or not is up to you, but the content remains the same.

Dear Admin;

After install SCCM2012-SP1 (with no error),I have this error when I open configuration manager console:

"Configuration Manager cannot connect to the site(TEH-sccm.home.local,cm12teh)"

The Configuration Manager console cannot connect to the Configuration Manager site database.Verify the following:

• This computer has network connectivity to the SMS Provider computer.
• Your user account has Remote Activation permission on the Configuration Manager site server and the SMS Provider Computer.
• The configuration Manager console version is supported by the site server.
• you are assigned to at least one role-based administration security role.
• You have the following WMI permissions to the Root\SMS and Root\SMS\site_<site code> namespaces:Execute Methods,Provider Write,Enable Account,and Remote Enable.

I did deploy this scenario in this environment:

1. 3 Windows Server 2k8-R2-SP1 (dc1,db1,sccm=domain member)

• my domain is:home.local
• Each server,can ping all other.
• my db server,has SQL 2k8-R2 Standard Edition-SP1 with CU-6
• I get same error with different account type(local administrator or domain admin)
