Hi there! Welcome to my blog. My name is Ivan. I am a Dutch IT Professional working as Principal IT Consultant. SCCM 2007 server has certain prerequisites before you can start the installation. I am installing SCCM 2007 SP2 server on a Windows Server 2008 R2 virtual machine. This is my second SCCM 2007 server which I am installing for my lab environment. My next installation is final and I want to automate these prerequisites which I will install from a script later.
For Windows Server 2008 R2 you can use the dism.exe tool to install the roles and features. What I have done, I used dism /online /Get-Features /format:table on my first server and copied the data into Excel. I used some smart formatting and functions, so I could generate the command line which I need to run on my new SCCM server.
How to install SCCM 2007 roles and features prerequisites on a Windows Server 2008 R2?
Run the following line from a command prompt with elevated administrator:
dism /online /Enable-Feature /featurename:BITSExtensions-Upload /featurename:IIS-ApplicationDevelopment /featurename:IIS-ASPNET /featurename:IIS-CommonHttpFeatures /featurename:IIS-DefaultDocument /featurename:IIS-DirectoryBrowsing /featurename:IIS-HealthAndDiagnostics /featurename:IIS-HttpCompressionStatic /featurename:IIS-HttpErrors /featurename:IIS-HttpLogging /featurename:IIS-HttpRedirect /featurename:IIS-HttpTracing /featurename:IIS-IIS6ManagementCompatibility /featurename:IIS-ISAPIExtensions /featurename:IIS-ISAPIFilter /featurename:IIS-LoggingLibraries /featurename:IIS-ManagementConsole /featurename:IIS-Metabase /featurename:IIS-NetFxExtensibility /featurename:IIS-Performance /featurename:IIS-RequestFiltering /featurename:IIS-RequestMonitor /featurename:IIS-Security /featurename:IIS-StaticContent /featurename:IIS-WebDAV /featurename:IIS-WebServer /featurename:IIS-WebServerManagementTools /featurename:IIS-WebServerRole /featurename:IIS-WindowsAuthentication /featurename:IIS-WMICompatibility /featurename:Internet-Explorer-Optional-amd64/featurename:LightweightServer /featurename:MSRDC-Infrastructure /featurename:Printing-XPSServices-Features
After I run the Configuration Manager 2007 SP2 prerequisite checker I only saw “Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)” was missing. This is OK for now as I am not installing Software Update role.
One thing not to forget is to enable and configure the IIS WebDAV Authoring rules before you start.
For more details on WebDAV Authoring rules please refer to the Technet site below.
