Operating systems requirements


As has been mentioned previously, the installation of the client is not a difficult task. However, for installation to go smoothly, it is important to know one important detail--an operating system on which the ConfigMgr client will work needs to meet some prerequisites regarding the installed software.

The client installer checks for all the prerequisites; if these are met, the installer starts its work.

Prerequisites for the operating system as follows:

  • Windows Installer version 3.1.4000.2435
  • BITS version 2.5 or higher
  • Windows Update Agent version 7.0.6000.363
  • Microsoft Remote Differential Compression

Components that--if missing--are installed by the ConfigMgr client installer are as follows:

  • Microsoft Core XML Services version 6.20.5002 or higher
  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable version 12.0.21005.1
  • Microsoft Policy Platform version 1.2.3514.0
