Guest Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 (edited) obviously SCCM (System Center Configuration Manager) is capable of deploying more than FireFox, but if you can deploy one application then the sky's the limit ! hi all, i've been busy setting up SCCM 2007 SP1 in Windows 2008 and now that i've got it installed and working i thought i'd share with you how that was done, it wasn't exactly straightforward so i've documented all the steps I took from installation right through to configuration. This guide assumes that you have first setup Windows Server 2008 and configured it for Active Directory, with DHCP (you only need steps 1 and 2 of this guide), installed and configured IIS (for SCCM) and installed SQL Server 2005 and WSUS. Once you have completed the requirements listed above, you have to install SCCM and that will involve fixing any prerequisite checks and proceeding with the installation itself. Next you have to go through a fairly lengthy configuration process for SCCM, I've broken that down into three parts below:- Part 1 > SCCM 2007 SP1 configuration guide The guide covers:- Adding SCCM computer account to SMS groups, setting site boundries and verifying the site name is configured for Active Directory and setting and configuring the site system roles. Part 2 > SCCM 2007 SP1 configuration guide The guide covers:- Configuring the Distribution Point (DP) and the Management Point (MP), adding Authoring rules in WebDav and changing WebDav settings, making sure the System Management container in Active Directory has the correct permissions for SCCM, checking and fixing errors in SCCM System Status. Part 3 > SCCM 2007 SP1 configuration guide The guide covers:- Configuring the Client Agents, setting up client installation methods and configuring discovery methods. Once you've completed the above you are ready to deploy an application in SCCM 2007 SP1 and this 4 step guide covers: Creating a package Creating a program Advertising the package Distributing the advertisement I hope that some of you find the above useful, if I get time I will update the guide and include using the OSD feature in SCCM to deploy Windows Vista SP1 or Windows Server 2008 using Zero Touch (ZTI). cheers anyweb Edited September 24, 2008 by Guest Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/668988-sccm-2007-sp1-from-start-to-finish-deploying-firefox-3/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
