If you’re still running SCCM 2012 (!) and plans to migrate, stop reading this guide. If you’re not familiar with SCCM Current Branch Features, you can visit this Microsoft Docs article which covers it all. With this blog post, our goal is to bring it a bit further, explaining concepts and best practices rather than just guide the user through the installation process. SCCM installation has never been an easy process and the product itself can be complex for inexperienced administrators. Since our first guide, more than 12 SCCM version has been released… and the product even changed its name to Microsoft Endpoint Manager.
We already did a guide in the past when SCCM 1511 was released but it’s was time for a 2020 refresh. Following this guide, you should have a functional SCCM server in a couple of hours. From the server prerequisites to the SQL installation, the Sccm installation itself and all configuration and site server installation. It covers every aspect of the SCCM Installation. This blog post is a complete revised Step-by-step SCCM Installation Guide.
