SCCM pre-requisites and architecture

[Community Alums]

Is anyone aware about the pre-requisites for SCCM installation, its architecture and how to work on automated deployments without using any external app or plugin except SCCM Orchestration? If yes then please share the pointers.

If there is any link which could help on SCCM installation and the architecture required to do automated deployment, please do share.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Kartik,

Check out this docs article on the SCCM Activity Pack. It gives you the prerequisites and also guides you through setting it up.

Hi Brad,

Thanks for the quick response. I have already gone through the article. Actually I was looking for the infrastructure side. What all things we require to get the setup ready for SCCM orchestration to play its game.

I have checked some of the blogs for SCCM installation but they are not from the servicenow point of view. This is my main concern.

Before installing SCCM we have to install MS SQL, some .net frameworks if not already present and WSUS and in first and foremost extending AD schema roles.

These are the specific details that I require from servicenow perspective.

I believe the article lists that out:

Client software distribution requires:

• SCCM 2012 R2.
• Powershell 3.0.
• Powershell Remoting enabled.
• The Windows PowerShell x86 execution policy must be set to unrestricted mode.
• Latest version of the SCCM cmdlet library installed on the SCCM server.
• Use the credentials to log onto the SCCM Server and connect via Windows PowerShell from the System Center Configuration Manager console at least once to set the path variable for that credential.
