De cómo ser IT Pro y no morir en el intento

Tal como anuncié anteriormente, vamos a dedicar una serie de artículos a SCCM 2007. El primero de ellos, será el de cómo instalarlo en un entorno de laboratorio (o de producción)

Para ello, una vez tengamos los requisitos de hardware establecidos y definidos, empezaremos por cumplir con los pre-requisitos del producto, que son:

1. Instalar el rol de IIS con las siguientes características:
1. HTTP Redirection
2. ASP.NET
3. ASP (si se usa Reporting Services como será el caso)
4. Windows Authentication.
5. IIS6 Metabase compatibility.
6. IIS6 WMI compatibility.
2. Instalación de BITS
3. Instalación de Remote Differential Compression
4. Habilitar WebDav y configurar WebDav, según lo detallado en http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc431377.aspx#Config_WebDAV
5. Instalar el servidor de SQL Server 2005 SP2 o superior. En nuestro caso, se instalar un SQL Server 2008 R2
6. Extender el Schema con la herramienta ExtADSch (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680608.aspx), revisando que en el log salga todo correcto con la frase “Successfully extended the Active Directory schema.”
7. Creación del contenedor “System Management” en el Directorio Activo para el equipo SCCM y asignación de permisos sobre el mismo.

Una vez tengamos los pre-requisitos cubiertos, prodeceremos a la instalación del producto.

Iniciamos la instalación:

Indicamos al instalador que instalamos un nuevo SCCM. El usuario que realiza la instalación debería tener privilegios de Domain Admin.

Realizamos una instalación personalizada

Indicamos que será un “Primary Site”

Introducimos un “Site Code” y una descripción del mismo

De momento, para evitar complicaciones con configuraciones PKI, instalamos SCCM en “Mixed mode”

Dejamos las opciones por defecto, excepto la de “Software updates” dado que no nos interesa que SCCM haga de WSUS.

Introducimos el nombre del servidor de DB y la DB a usar. En el ejemplo, la DB está instalada en el propio servidor de SCCM.

El SMS Provider, es el servidor de SQL, que como hemos comentado es el propio SCCM

Introducimos el FQDN del Management Point (en la captura de pantalla el nombre no es FQDN)

Llegados a este punto, el programa de instalación descargará varios elementos necesarios para proceder a la instalación del producto

Una vez finalizada la descarga, se procederá a la instalación como tal

Finalizada la instalación, ya tenemos un SCCM 2007 SP2 totalmente operacional listo para configurarse. Sólo queda instalar la actualización a R3

Para poder instalar el paquete R3, es necesario instalar un parche previo, el KB977384

Después de la instalación, insertamos el DVD de la R3 y la instalamos de modo normal.

Y ya tenemos la versión R3 instalada…

Los siguientes pasos, la configuración del producto. Eso será en la siguiente entrada

Un saludo,

Marc

Microsoft ha liberado una nueva actualización acumulativa para Internet Explorer con fecha 14 de Febrero para las versiones 6, 7, 8 y 9.

Después de la instalación de la actualización, la versión del IE 9 (en mi caso), pasa a ser la 9.0.5

Hola,

Debido a que estoy preparando la certificación de SCCM 2007, he decidido realizar una serie de artículos relacionados con System Center Configuration Manager que, por un lado me ayuden a repasar y preparar el examen, y por otro os ayuden a vosotros a realizar una instalación más o menos standard. Soy consciente de que hay mil y un artículos sobre el tema. Bien, con los míos habrá mil dos

Espero poder ir publicando cada dos o tres días durante un par de semanas los distintos pasos de instalación y configuración del producto, sin llegar a la parte del OSD, es decir, del Operating System Deployment o despliegue de Sistemas Operativos que, dada su extensión, le dedicaríamos unos artículos por separado.

Para empezar, os pongo el dimensionamiento y requisitos de Windows donde irá instalado el producto

La idea es instalar SCCM 2007 R3 sobre Windows Server 2008 R2 con el siguiente dimensionamiento para poco menos que 200 usuarios

• 2 GB de RAM
• 2 vCPUs de 2 GHz (mínimo)
• SQL Server local o corporativo (a definir). La recomendación de Microsoft es usar SQL local hasta 100.000 clientes y la versión mínima de SQL es la 2005, con SP2
• Disco C: para sistema, 40 GB
• Disco D: para SCCM (y SQL local). 40 GB
• Disco para el despliegue de software de tamaño suficiente para albergar el software a desplegar más un 50% de espacio en previsión de crecimientos futuros

En la próxima entrada, más.

Marc

El 9 de Enero me apuntaba a preparar un examen de SCOM y hoy rendía el examen. El resultado, se deduce por el título de la entrada. Lo he pasado. Lo tengo. He aprobado.

Y tal como pasó la anterior vez, ya tengo en mente el siguiente examen de Microsoft: el 70-401, TS: Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007, Configuring antes de que se libere la versión 2012 del mismo producto (actualmente en RC)

La fecha escogida, un mes vista. Esperemos que sea suficiente otra vez.

Marc
