Hello,

is it true that on Administration - Overview - Site Configuration - Sites on P01 you can only see P01 itself, but on CAS you see both of them?

I have done with CAS and PRI As per the Niall instruction , i should get the replication status as Active. but i'm getting being configured. Could you please help me on configuration on replication.

 

I don't know what did i miss.

 

I'm also getting read-only maintenance mode in the Primary site server.

I am trying to add additonal child Primary Server on our existing Hierarchy but I was stopped by this error and cannot continue. This stopped exactly when I am joining this primary site to existing CAS

 

Here's my setup My Setup:

CAS:

Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard

SCCM 2012 SP1

Remote SQL Server 2008 SP3, Enterprise, Clustered

SMSAdmin1 set as Local Admin on CAS

SMSAdmin1 set as sysadmin role on DB

Full Admin on SCCM

With existing child Primary Site

New Primary Site:

Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard

To install SCCM 2012 SP1

SQL installed on Primary Site Server

SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 CU6

Used different account to install Primary Site (i.e. SMSAdmin2)

SMSAdmin2 set as Local Admin on CAS Server

SMSAdmin2 set as sysadmin role on CAS site DB

SMSAdmin2 set as Local Admin on Primary Site Server

SMSAdmin2 set as sysadmin role on Primary Site DB

SMSAdmin2 set as Full Admin-All scopes in SCCM CAS

Computer account was added to existing security groups to have access to System Management container

I got this log from ConfigMgrSetupWizard.txt

Attached is the actual GUI error

did you read the 'error', it's basically telling you that you don't have enough permissions as the logged on user to do wat you need to do. So login as a user that has Full Administrator permssions and you should be able to accomplish things..

Hi Anyweb,

 

I apologize for late reply. Yes I read the error and viewed my permission on our CAS site and I'm "Full Administrator" on "All Scopes". The account is also running as local admin on the system. All the steps on part 1 were followed as well but I do not know why it is acting this way.

 

Do you have recommendation?

Cannot detect SMS Type because either SiteServer, SqlServer or SiteServerName is empty.

 

 

how is SQL server setup/entered in the wizard ?

I have not reached that part yet. I still on the process of joining the PRI to CAS.

 

Anyway - this has been resolved. I found out that port 445 is currently block on the PRI thus the return message coming from CAS does not reach PRI. Thus, PRI assumes that I don't have access to CAS
