Sccm 2007 windows deployment services server could not be started

Hope this helps the next person that has this issue. Wednesday, August 18, PM. ConfigMgr v4 sp1 I believe is the version. Windows x64 Enterprise 3. I get error - WDS is not installed. Installation cannot continue in the pxesetup. Tuesday, August 17, AM. Tuesday, August 17, PM. What error have you seen exactly??? The server is authorized through DHCP. They are connected via a cross-over cable and the server is sending the client a DHCP address yes they are on the same subnet.

Either they are on the same server or not. Which servers are connected via cross-over cable? TargetDir controls the installation directory. A value of 1 will join the CEIP. Be sure to change the DefaultSiteServerName value to your site server. Finish the Create Application Wizard.

You may want to do two additional advanced steps to configure your environment. First, you may wish to restrict the operating system or system architecture that the application can be installed on. In the installation properties above, I manually specified that the application should install in Program Files x Obviously, I do not want a bit machine to install the Console.

Enforcing this is easy. Right-click your newly created application and select Properties. Choose the Deployment Types tab and edit the single deployment listed. Multiple deployment types are used for architecture-based installs or installers across device types.

Under Condition, choose Operating System and then check the allowed operating system values. Although this is outside the scope of this article, you can also configure custom Global conditions. If you begin to use conditions frequently, change their type to a Global Condition to centralize future changes. The end of this article details how to do this.

Run the following scripts to size the TempDB. The server is now ready for the SCCM installation. We will install a stand-alone Primary site. Before launching the SCCM installation, we recommend launching the Prereqchk tool in order to verify if all components are configured correctly. We prefer to use the standalone tool before running the setup. Refer to this Technet article to see the list of all checks done by the tool. If you have any warning or error refer to this Technet article in order to resolve it, or go thought part 1 and part 2 of this guide.

We are finally ready to launch the setup. First, reboot the server. This will make sure that the machine is not in a Reboot pending state. Before opening the SCCM console, we suggest to install the following tools :.

Download and install it here. It covers all you need to know. The first task we like to do after a new SCCM installation is to upgrade it to the latest version. We have a bunch of guides for each version. For reference, at the time of this blog post, the baseline is and the latest version is SCCM The next sections will be for configuring the various site server roles in your newly installed SCCM server.

Role installation order is not important, you can install roles independently of others. Both of these roles are now unsupported. We do not recommend adding this role to your hierarchy. Starting in version , updated clients automatically use the management point for user-available application deployments.

Support ends for the application catalogue roles with version The Application Catalog web service point provides software information to the Application Catalog website from the Software Library. This is not a mandatory site system but you need both the Application Catalog website point and the Application Catalog web service point if you want to provide your user with a Self-Service application catalog web portal.

The Application Catalog web service point and the Application Catalog website point are hierarchy-wide options. The Application Catalog web service point must reside in the same forest as the site database. If you have more geographically distributed users, consider deploying additional application catalogs to keep responsiveness high and user satisfaction up.

Use client settings to configure collections of computers to use different Application Catalog servers. Read more on how to provide a great application catalog experience to your user in this Technet blog article. If your client needs HTTPS connections, you must first deploy a web server certificate to the site system.

If you need to allow Internet clients to access the application catalog, you also need to deploy a web server certificate to the Management Point configured to support Internet clients. When supporting Internet clients, Microsoft recommends that you install the Application Catalog website point in a perimeter network, and the Application Catalog web service point on the intranet. For more information about certificates see the following Technet article.

Using Windows Server , the following features must be installed before the role installation:. For this post, we will be installing both roles on our stand-alone Primary site using HTTP connections. If you split the roles between different machines, do the installation section twice, once for the first site system selecting Application Catalog web service point during role selection and a second time on the other site system selecting Application Catalog website point during role selection.

Ensure that the client settings for your clients are set correctly to access the Application Catalog. The AISP is a hierarchy-wide option. SCCM supports a single instance of this site system role in a hierarchy and only at the top-level site. In order to have inventory data, first ensure that Hardware Inventory is enabled in your Client Settings. On the machine that will receive the CRP role, install the following using Windows server role and features:.

Once all the above has been configured and verified, you are ready to create your certificate profile in SCCM. Several distribution points can provide better access to available software, updates, and operation systems. On the DP, add a group that contains your site system computer account in the Administrators group. Configuration Manager requires some roles and features to be installed on the server prior to the DP installation. IIS needs to be installed on the server but it will automatically be installed using the site installation wizard.

For Windows only, you need to enable Powershell 3. Now that the Distribution point server is ready to receive a new role, we need to add the server to the site server list.

That results in errors but be patient and the installation should succeed anyway. You can now replicate your content to your newly created DP. Replicate manually all your content or add your DP in an existing DP group.

If you have multiple Distribution Points, I suggest you read our post on 8 ways to monitor your distribution points. This post explains in detail the various options to make sure that your DP is healthy.

You can also check our custom report about Distribution Point Monitoring to display all your DP status using a single click. The Endpoint Protection Point provides the default settings for all antimalware policies and installs the Endpoint Protection client on the Site System server to provide a data source from which the SCCM database resolves malware IDs to names.

This Site System is a hierarchy-wide option. SCCM supports a single instance of this site system role in a hierarchy and only at the top-level site in the hierarchy.

After the installation, you must add Endpoint Protection definition files in your Software Update Point. We have a complete guide to managing endpoint protection. You can download it from our product page. This is not a mandatory site system but you need both Enrollment Point and Enrollment Proxy Point if you want to enroll legacy mobile devices, Mac computers and to provision Intel AMT-based computers.

Since modern mobile devices are mostly managed using Windows Intune , this post will focus mainly on Mac computer enrollment. When you support mobile devices on the Internet, as a security best practice, install the Enrollment Proxy Point in a perimeter network and the Enrollment Point on the intranet.

If you split the roles between different machine, do the installation section twice, once for the first site system selecting Enrollment Point during role selection and a second time on the other site system selecting Enrollment Proxy Point during role selection. The FSP helps monitor client installation and identify unmanaged clients that cannot communicate with their management point.

This is not a mandatory Site System but we recommend to install a FSP for better client management and monitoring. You can also check if reports that depend on the FSP are populated with data. See the full list of reports that rely on the FSP here. The Management Point is the primary point of contact between Configuration Manager clients and the site server. Management Points can provide clients with installation prerequisites, configuration details, advertisements and software distribution package source file locations.

Additionally, Management Points receive inventory data, software metering information and state messages from clients. Multiple Management Points are used for load-balancing traffic and for clients to continue receiving their policy after Management Point failure.

Read about how clients choose their Management Point in this Technet article. The Management Point is a site-wide option. By default, when you install a Secondary site, a Management Point is installed on the Secondary site server.

Secondary sites do not support more than one Management Point and this Management Point cannot support mobile devices that are enrolled by Configuration Manager. See the full Supported Configuration in the following Technet article. On Windows , the following features must be installed before the Management Point Installation:. This role can be installed on a remote machine, the process is the same but the location of the logs is different. Continue through the wizard and reboot the computer at the end of the installation if instructed to do so.

Before configuring the reporting point, some configuration needs to be made on the SQL side.
