http://systemcentermvp.com/2017/06/23/step-step-prerequisite-installation-sccm-cb/
The environment which is being used for this demo is a two server farm wherein one server is acting as a
Domain Controller and the second server will act as SCCM server on which we have already installed SQL
Server 2016. So, we will be installing the SCCM on the same server on which we did SQL Server 2016
installation.
Below is the list of prerequisites which we are going to fulfill before running the SCCM installation:
On SCCM Server

9: Add the SCCM Action Account and SCCM Server and allow Full control access to both.
Note: We are using SCCMUSER as SCCM Action account and SCCMSQL1 is our SCCM Server.

11: Select the SCCM Action account (SCCMUSER) and Click Edit button.
12: Change the permission entry under Applies To box to This object and all descendant objects.
14: Perform Step 11, 12 and 13 for the SCCM Server as well.

To extend the Active Directory Schema, we need extadsh.exe utility which can be located under
SMSSETUP\BIN\X64 folder of the Configuration Manager installation media.

1: Once the download completes, run the SC_Configmgr_SCEP_1606.exe file and extract the files under
preferred location.

6: Paste the copied path in Command Prompt and hit Enter button on the keyboard.

Active Directory schema also extended. It’s time to install Windows Server Roles and Features required
for SCCM installation. We will be using ConfigMgr Prerequisite Tool for same.
ConfigMgr Prerequisite Tool is one of the best tools I have ever used for Configuration Manager
prerequisites installation. It’s developed by Nickolaj Andersen. This tool helps the administrators
preparing SCCM environment by installing all the correct prerequisites for a Configuration Manager
hierarchy, different Site Systems Roles, ADK and much more.
Download the tool from TechNet Gallery and give 5 Star rating. The tool can be downloaded from here:
ConfigMgr Prerequisite Tool

We have downloaded the ConfigMgr Prerequisite Tool and saved it on SCCM server. Let’s run it.
2: Right click the ConfigMgrPrerequisitesTool.exe file and select Run as administrator option.

1: Under Site Configuration tab, select the Site Configuration role you want to install on the server.
Note: Since I want to install Primary Site role on the server, I am selecting Primary Site option here, so
the prerequisites required for Primary Site can be installed.

The installation may take around 30 minutes or more to complete, you can check the log information
for check all the feature installation.

Similarly, if you are installing CAS or Secondary Site role on the server, you can select the appropriate
option and click Install button.
http://systemcentermvp.com/2017/06/23/step-step-prerequisite-installation-sccm-cb/
1: Click on Site System Roles tab and select the appropriate role for which prerequisite needs to be
installed.
Note: We will be installing Management Point role on this server so selecting Management Point
option.

3: Since the prerequisites need to be installed on local server, select Locally on this server option.
4: Click Install button to install the prerequisites for Management Point role.
The installation will take few minutes to complete. The same way you can install prerequisites for other
roles.

Note: Since we have already fulfilled the prerequisites related to Active Directory (Creating System
Management Container and Extending Active Directory Schema) above. We will skip the Active Directory
tab.

Apart from this, if you don’t find the latest ADK version in the dropdown menu, you can download the
latest ADK version on server, choose Offline installation option and provide the ADK file path for the
installation.
http://systemcentermvp.com/2017/06/23/step-step-prerequisite-installation-sccm-cb/
ADK installation may take considerable amount of time, depends upon system performance and
available bandwidth.

It took around 20 minutes to complete. You should get Successfully installed Windows ADK with exit
code of 0 message in the Log information.
http://systemcentermvp.com/2017/06/23/step-step-prerequisite-installation-sccm-cb/
The installation may take few minutes to complete. Make sure the installation completes with exit code
0.
Note: I don’t want WSUS database on SQL Server and that’s the reason I have selected Windows
Internal Database option. If you want the WSUS database on SQL Server, you can provide SQL Server
(FQDN) and SQL Server Instance name and proceed with the Installation.
That’s it.
It’s easy and hassle free. You can follow the same to fulfill the prerequisites for your SCCM environment.
