Overview of this book

It becomes important to plan, design, and deploy configurations when administrators know that Configuration Manager interacts with a number of infrastructure components such as Active Directory Domain Services, network protocols, Windows Server services, and so on. Via real-world-world deployment scenarios, this book will help you implement a single primary site or multiples sites. You will be able to efficiently plan and deploy a multiple-site hierarchy such as central administration site. Next, you will learn various methods to plan and deploy Configuration Manager clients, secure them and make the most of new features offered through ConfigMgr 1706 like compliance, deploying updates operating systems to the endpoints. Then, this book will show you how to install, configure, and run SQL reports to extract information. Lastly, you will also learn how to create and manage users access in an ConfigMgr environment By the end of this book, you will have learned to use the built-in mechanism to back up and restore data and also design maintenance plan.

Methods of installing server roles


Server roles might be added to an environment at any suitable time. The same roles might be removed in the same way if the administrator no longer plans to utilize them or the concept of usage of ConfigMgr has changed.

Adding new server roles isn't problematic; however, the installation of a new role requires providing an account with local administrator rights; just having access to the ConfigMgr console is not enough, and installation will not be successful.

There are two installation methods:

  • Create the site system role: The wizard used to install server roles on a computer that is not already handling any roles in the ConfigMgr environment
  • Add site system role: The wizard that enables the installation of a new role on a computer that already provides some roles in the ConfigMgr environment

Note

Whether the role installation has been successful or not can be confirmed in the ConfigMgr console or by reviewing certain log files.

Wizards differ among themselves...
