Installing SQL Server 2016 for Configuration Manager Deployment

Step-by-Step Guide: Installing SQL Server 2016 for Configuration Manager Deployment.

Some Preparation:

• Install .Net 3.5 Feature (with Server Manager or with PowerShell, I choose PowerShell)

Install-WindowsFeature Net-Framework-Core

• Create rules in Windows Firewall for SCCM connection (I use static port 14331 for DB and 8080 for reporting, also, I’m added standard TCP and UDP ports);
• Create an Active Directory 3 service accounts:

sqlsccmagent – sql agent

sqlsccmsvc – sql service

sqlsccmrep – sql reporting services

• Add all 3 accounts to Local Group Administrators on SQL system;

• Asemenea, I create (add) two disks (1 for SCCM DATA DBs and 1 for Temp DBs);
