Before installing Configuration Manager 2007 or implementing new features, ensure that you have verified that your computing environment meets the following prerequisites:
- General site system prerequisites
- Configuration Manager primary site server prerequisites
- Site database server prerequisites
- SMS Provider prerequisites
- Configuration Manager secondary site server prerequisites
- Configuration Manager console
- Configuration Manager feature prerequisites
General Site System Prerequisites
All site servers must be a member of an Active Directory domain.
Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 or later is required if the system will perform any of the following site system roles:
Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)-enabled distribution point. This role requires BITS server extensions and Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) extensions. IIS is not required if the distribution point will not be BITS-enabled.
Management point. This role requires BITS server IIS extensions and WebDAV IIS extensions.
Reporting point. This role requires Active Server pages.
Fallback status point. This role requires BITS server IIS extensions.
Software update point
Server locator point
- All Configuration Manager distribution point systems using BITS bandwidth throttling require BITS 2.0 or later.
- Management points and server locator points configured to be part of a Network Load Balancing (NLB) cluster are supported.
- All site servers require Internet Explorer 5.0 or later.
- Windows Server 2008 is the only supported operating system for hosting the System Health Validator point site system role.
- Site servers and branch distribution points require Remote Differential Compression (RDC) to generate package signatures and perform signature comparison.
Configuration Manager Primary Site Server Prerequisites
The following software must be installed before running Setup on a server to support the primary site server role:
- Microsoft Management Console (MMC) 3.0. MMC 3.0 is available for download athttp://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=55423.
- .NET Framework 2.0. .NET Framework 2.0 is available for download at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=56407.
- If applicable, the following update should also be applied to the system before running Setup:
- MS06-030: Vulnerability in Server Message Block could allow elevation of privilege (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=79239).
- MS06-030: Vulnerability in Server Message Block could allow elevation of privilege (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=79239).
Site Database Server Prerequisites
Configuration Manager 2007 primary sites require access to a SQL Server database to host the site database. The site database can be hosted on a SQL Server instance installed on the same server as the primary site, on a remote computer, or on a virtual SQL Server cluster instance. The following conditions apply:
- SQL Server 2005, Service Pack 2 is the earliest version of SQL Server supported for hosting the Configuration Manager 2007 site database. For more information about the SQL Server versions that are supported to host the site database, see Configuration Manager Supported Configurations.
- SQL Server Express editions are not supported for hosting the Configuration Manager 2007 site database.
- The SQL database service is the only SQL Server component required to be installed to host the site database.
SMS Provider Prerequisites
Because Configuration Manager 2007 allows you to install the SMS Provider on a computer other than the site server or site database server, you should check to ensure that the computer you have identified to install the SMS Provider on meets the following prerequisites:
- The SMS Provider must be installed on a computer in the same domain as the site server and site database server site systems.
The SMS Provider must be installed on a computer with the same operating system language as the site server's operating system language when a site contains site servers or clients with different language operating systems installed. - The SMS Provider cannot be installed on a virtual SQL Server cluster computer or a physical computer hosting a virtual SQL Server cluster node.
- The SMS Provider cannot be installed on a computer already hosting the SMS Provider for another site.
- If applicable, the following updates should also be applied to the system before installing the SMS Provider:
- MS06-030: Vulnerability in Server Message Block could allow elevation of privilege (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=79239).
- Availability of Windows Server 2003 Post-Service Pack 1 COM+ 1.5 Hotfix Rollup Package 6 (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=79240).
- MS06-030: Vulnerability in Server Message Block could allow elevation of privilege (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=79239).
ImportantConfiguration Manager Secondary Site Server Prerequisites
If applicable, the following updates should be applied to the system before installing a secondary site server:
- "A custom program that uses the RegConnectRegistry function can no longer access the registry of a remote computer in Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 or in an x64-based version of Windows Server 2003", described in Knowledge Base article 906570 (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=60872).
- "MS06-030: Vulnerability in Server Message Block could allow elevation of privilege" (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=79239).
Configuration Manager Console Prerequisites
Before installing the Configuration Manager console on a remote computer, you should ensure that it meets the minimum requirements outlined in the Configuration Manager supported configurations, as well as the following installation prerequisites:
- Microsoft Management Console (MMC) 3.0. MMC 3.0 can be downloaded from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=55423.
- .NET Framework 2.0. .NET Framework 2.0 can be downloaded from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=56407.

- Prerequisites for Native Mode
- Prerequisites for Internet-Based Client Management
- Prerequisites for Reporting
- Prerequisites for Software Distribution
