using System Center 2012 Configuration Manager - Part 2. Install the primary server - P01

[keywan]

Hi Anyweb,

 

Could you please tell me, why I cannot install SCCM 2012 SP1 the both follow options?

 

"Install a Configuration Manager central administration site" and after that I could install
"Install a Configuration Manager primary site"

 

I know I could install these above option by SCCM 2012. But SCCM 2012 SP1 you can install on of these option.

Is that correct?

 

Best regards

Hi,

 

My machine is new and I do not have installed any SCCM 2012 before.

 

I install first

 

"Install a Configuration Manager central administration site" and after that I did want to install the second option "Install a Configuration Manager primary site"

but it is gray out and I can choose only recover the side or uninstall the side. Is the problem because I have only one sccm server and I should to install an standalone primary server?

[anyweb]

if you installed a CAS on this server and if you want to install a primary site then you must do that on ANOTHER server by running setup on that other server

 

if you have only one server then you should probably not be installing a CAS but install a standalone primary instead, are you setting up a lab or production ?

 

cheers

Hi anyweb,

 

Yes you are right, I know that too. I only have one server and I want to install standalone primary side. I am setting up a production.

I did follow your parts (index)

http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/4045-system-center-2012-configuration-manager-guides/

If I go to above link and Standalone Primary Server and click on CM12 in a lab - Part 1. Installation., I see follow information:

 

Update: This post has been superseded since the release of the RTM version of Configuration Manager 2012. To see the new post please click here.

 

If I click on here, I see the same parts like CAS. Is the link correct?

 

How many clients can I configure with standalone primary side? What is the differnet between Lab and Production?

 

Let me please know which documentation should I follow to installing standalone primary side

 

Best regards

if you dont need a cas (and you don't) then instead of choosing to install a CAS install a standalone primary instead, so follow everything else that the guide covers and you'll be fine.
