SCCM Installation Broken

[octavius]

Hello,

 

I am new to these forums, but have been following the excellent instructions on installing SCCM 2007. However, I am experiencing some problems following installation and would really appreciate some help.

 

The System:

Windows Server 2008 Enterprise (64 bit)

SQL 2005 SP3

WSUS 3.0 SP1

SCCM 2007 SP1 - installed to c:\program files (x86)\Microsoft Configuration Manager

Running on VMWare ESXi.

 

I have installed SCCM 2007 according to the instructions on this sites sticky's. However, I am unable to detect any PC's in the CFG Manager Console. A bit of digging in the Event Logs shows errors installing various SMS components. I have done a lot of diggin around the net and have come to a sticky end. The following is an extract from the sitecomp.log file which may provide some kind of clue. I have tried this on a test and production environment, both resulting in the same errors.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated

 

Thanks

 

Octavius

hi, does the user you are installing SCCM with have local administrator permissions on the server ?

Thank you for your response.

 

I should have said that the server is a DC and I am logging in as a Domain Admin. The site that SCCM is going to be installed into only have a DC availiable for this product. I have looked into giving local administrator rights on a DC and appears that this might not be possible, unless you can point me in the right direction.

 

Cheers

if the server will be a DC and SCCM all in one, then you can make the SCCM admin user (SMSAdmin) a member of the Domain Admins group,

 

this would be ok for a LAB but it would be far better to separate the roles out onto different servers,

[octavius]

I agree, in an ideal world they would be seperate, but unfortunatly not every client is ideal :-( Anyway, enough of my woes.

 

The SMSAdmin account is a Domain Admin, but the problem persists. One thing, I had to create the SMSAdmin account myself, it was not automaticaly created, is that significant?

 

O

it's normal that you create the account yourself, once created, always log in with that account for the entire installation of SCCM from start to finish.

 

do you have any other errors in sccm ?

Well, SCCM just does not work full stop in the current state. I am going to try and uninstall everything and start again from scratch using the SMSAdmin account.

 

I maybe able to place SCCM onto another server, however this one is already running ISA. Is there any issue with running SCCM on ISA server. I was not keen on doing this as I have always kept external security and internal services seperate. Is there a technical reason not to do this,, i.e. any possible conflicts.

 

Cheers

[anyweb]

I would certaintly separate the roles (isa/sccm) but.. I have never installed sccm on an ISA server so cannot comment, but common sense would tell me not to do it...

 

so, try a fresh install using only SMSadmin to do the install/configuration and all,

 

the SMSadmin account should be a domain user who has local administrative privaledges on the computer running SCCM
