This post will guide you through the installation of a single primary site server with MP and DP roles installed as part of the install wizard and SQL installed locally.
Take a look at Microsoft’s Supported Configurations documentation on TechNet before embarking in any installation.
This guide assumes that no previous version of ConfigMgr is installed in the Active Directory domain it is being installed into.
Before installing ConfigMgr 1511 you will need to run through some prep work to get the Active Directory configured and extended, along with some application and role/feature installs.
Prepare Active Directory for Configuration Manager
Create the System Management Container in AD
Connect to a domain controller and load ADSI Edit. Under the System OU create a new Object
Choose Container and click Next.
Enter the name System Management and click Next.
Complete the wizard and close ADSIEdit.
Delegate control to the SCCM site server to the newly created container in AD Users and Computers. Create a custom task to delegate and choose ‘This folder, existing objects in this folder and creation of new objects in this folder’
Check all Permission boxes and complete the wizard
Extend the Schema
From the ConfigMgr media copy the \SMSSetup\Bin\x64\ folder to a Domain Controller holding the Schema Master Role. Ensure the account used is a member of the Schema Admins group in AD. Right click the Extadsch.exe and choose ‘Run as Administrator ‘.
A log file ‘ExtADSch.log’ will be generated on the root of the C: Drive. Check for the entry ‘Successfully extended the Active Directory schema.’
To check what Extadsch.exe is doing to the Active Directory then open up the fileConfigMgr_ad_schema.ldf that is located in the same folder.
