Configuration Manager 2007 Installation Guide – Part 5

In Part 1 of this series we installed IIS.

In Part 2 we installed and configured WebDAV.

In Part 3 we installed BITS and Remote Differential Compression.

In Part 4 we created a ConfigMgr administrator group and installed and configured SQL Server 2008.

 

The active directory schema must be extended and a System Management container must be created and configured before installing ConfigMgr.

This chapter will guide you through the process of extending the Active Directory schema and creating and configuring a System Management container.
