Guide to Installing SCCM Requirements: SQL Configuration, Active Directory Schema Extending and Windows Server Roles Installation.
SQL Configuration
For normal work, you must use the next memory size for SCCM SQL:
- Minimum 8192 for “Primary Site";
- Minimum 4096 for “Secondary Site";
When you use a database server that is co-located with the site server, dedicate 50 percent of the available addressable system memory for SQL Server.
When you use a dedicated SQL Server, dedicate 80 percent of the available addressable system memory for SQL Server.
Configuration Manager requires SQL Server to reserve a minimum of 8 gigabytes (γιγαμπάιτ) of memory in the buffer pool used by an instance of SQL Server for the central administration site and primary site and a minimum of 4 gigabytes (γιγαμπάιτ) for the secondary site. This memory is reserved by using the Minimum server memory setting under Server Memory Options and is configured by using SQL Server Management Studio.”

Στην περίπτωσή μου, I have very weak SQL, so I only show where and how to set these limits.
1. Run “Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio";
2. Connect to your “SCCM Instance”. Enter “Ονομα διακομιστή” and click the “Συνδέω-συωδεομαικουμπί ";
3. Δεξί κουμπί του ποντικιού click on the instance and select “Ιδιότητες";
4. Παω σε "Μνήμη” and set “Ελάχιστη μνήμη διακομιστή (σε MB)" και "Μέγιστη μνήμη διακομιστή (σε MB)” according to the information I wrote earlier. Click the “Εντάξεικουμπί ";
5. To apply these changes you must restart instance services, you can do it from “Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio". Δεξί κουμπί του ποντικιού click on the instance and select “Επανεκκίνηση";
6. Κάντε κλικ "Ναί” on pop-up windows;
Active Directory schema extending
When you extend the Active Directory schema for System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, you can publish site information to Active Directory Domain Services. Extending the Active Directory schema is optional for Configuration Manager. Ωστόσο, by extending the schema you can use all Configuration Manager features and functionality with the least amount of administrative overhead.
If you decide to extend the Active Directory schema, you can do so before or after you run Configuration Manager Setup.
TechNe
1. Log in to your “Domain Controller Schema Master". Mount “*.iso” with SCCM installation files. Παω σε "<drive letter>\SMSSETUP\BIN\X64” and run “extadsch.exe";
2. After step “1” go to “ντο:\” and open “ExtADSch.log” if all is good you must see the next string;
3. Open your apps list and run “ADSI Edit";
4. Δεξί κουμπί του ποντικιού κάντε κλικ στο "ADSI Edit” and select “Connect to";
5. Leave defaults and click the “Εντάξεικουμπί ";
6. Find “CN=System” in the list. Δεξί κουμπί του ποντικιού κάντε κλικ στο "CN=System", select “Νέος” and then “Αντικείμενο";
7. In the list select “Container” and click the “Επόμενοκουμπί ";
8. Enter “αξία” System Management and click the “Επόμενοκουμπί ";
9. Click the “Φινίρισμακουμπί ";
10. Δεξί κουμπί του ποντικιού κάντε κλικ στο "CN=System Management"και κάντε κλικ στο "Ιδιότητες";
11. Select “Ασφάλεια";
12. Click the “Προσθήκηκουμπί ";
13. In the “Object Types” add “Computers", enter your SCCM server name, and click the “Εντάξεικουμπί ";
14. Set the checkmark “Full control” (like on the screenshot) and click the “Εντάξεικουμπί ";
Windows Server Roles and Features installation
My deployment scenario:
- SQL 2016 on Windows Server 2016 with separated disks (System, DB’s, Temp);
- SCCM 1606 on Windows Server 2016 with two disks (one for the system and one for data, like updates and apps)
1. Let’s make some tuning of our server. I need to host SCCM data on disk “D“. To do this we must create a blank file “NO_SMS_ON_DRIVE.SMS” in the root of disk “ντο";
2. Make sure it is blank;
3. Next we need at Windows Server Roles and Features. In the “Διαχειριστής διακομιστή” in the upper menu click “Manage” and then “Add Roles and Features";
4. Click the “Επόμενοκουμπί ". (you may set the checkmark “Παράλειψη αυτής της σελίδας από προεπιλογή” and this window don’t appear next time);
5. Leave by default “Εγκατάσταση βασισμένη σε ρόλους ή σε χαρακτηριστικά” and click the “Επόμενοκουμπί ";
6. Select the target server and click the "Επόμενοκουμπί " (I have only one server);
7. Set a check mark on the “Διακομιστής Ιστού (IIS)” role, in the pop-up window click the “Add Featuresκουμπί ";
” role, in the pop-up window click the “Add Featuresκουμπί ";
8. Set the check mark on “Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)", in the pop-up window click the “Add Featuresκουμπί ";
9. After all steps click the “Επόμενοκουμπί ";
10. Set check mark on “.Πλαίσιο δικτύου 3.5 Χαρακτηριστικά” and set check marks, like on the screenshot;
11. Set check mark on “Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)";
12. In the pop-up window click “Add Features";
13. Set the check mark on “Απομακρυσμένη Διαφορική Συμπίεση"και κάντε κλικ στο "Επόμενο";
ΣΗΜΕΙΩΣΗ: I use Server 2016, if you use another Windows Server (2012 ή 2012 R2) you must install WSUS 3.0 Service Pack 2.
14. Let’s configure “IIS Role", and click the “Επόμενοκουμπί ";
15. Set check marks, like on screenshots;
16. After all actions click the “Επόμενοκουμπί ";
17. Let’s configure “WSUS Role", and click the “Επόμενοκουμπί ";
18. Set check marks on “WSUS Services", I use the database on SCCM SQL Server, so I also set the checkmark “SQL Server Connectivity“. (If you want to use a local database for WSUS – don’t set the check mark on SQL and set the checkmark on “WID Connectivity“). Click the “Επόμενοκουμπί ";
19. Set the checkmark and enter the path for storing updates (I use “D:\WSUS“). Click the “Επόμενοκουμπί ";
20. Enter “<SQL Server name>\<Instance name>", and click the “Check connection” button to check the connection. If all is good, κάντε κλικ στο "Επόμενοκουμπί ";
ΣΗΜΕΙΩΣΗ: I don’t have Internet access on this machine, so I need to specify the source path for feature installation (“.NET Framework 3.5“). Click “Specify an alternate source path“;
21. Enter “<windows source files DVD or *iso disk>\πηγέςsxs"και κάντε κλικ στο "Εντάξεικουμπί ";
22. Click the “Εγκαθιστώκουμπί ";
23. Η εγκατάσταση ξεκινά;
24. When the installation is finished, κάντε κλικ στο "Κλείσεκουμπί ";
25. Click on the yellow triangle and then click “Launch Post-Installation tasks” (finish WSUS installation);
26. Post-installation finished;
27. If you install WSUS with SQL database, go to SQL Server. You will see “SUSDB” file and “SUSDB” database in “SQL Server Management Studio";
Windows ADK installation
Download the installation file from Windows ADK Site. You may install it from the WEB or download files to install it on another computer. Let’s do both options.
2. If you choose the online installation. Run the downloaded file “adksetup.exe“. Select “Install the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit – Windows 10 to this computer“. Click the “Επόμενοκουμπί ";
3. Select “Ναί” or “No” (read the text in the window to make choice). Click the “Επόμενοκουμπί ";
4. Read “License Agreement” and click the “Αποδέχομαικουμπί ";
5. Select components required for SCCM successful installation, like in the screenshot. Click the “Install” button to start the installation.
6. If you choose the offline installation. Select a folder to download installation files and click the “Επόμενοκουμπί ";
7. Copy downloaded files to the target machine and run “adksetup.exe";
8. Click the “Επόμενοκουμπί ";
9. Next repeat steps “3-5";
10. In both variants at the end of installation click the “Close” button. (Also you may explore Windows ADK documentation on MSDN if you need, by setting a checkmark);
ΣΗΜΕΙΩΣΗ: Don’t forget to reboot after installation. It takes a very long time to install.
