System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) 2007 POC Installation Guidelines
J.C. Hornbeck writes: Here are some Proof of Concept guidelines I put together that I thought you might find helpful. While this document provides an overview of installing Configuration Manager in a Proof of Concept (POC) environment, it should under no circumstances be considered a replacement for reviewing SCCM product documentation in detail prior to production deployment. Note: SCCM can be downloaded from the Microsoft Volume Licensing Site MVLS website on or shortly after 11/1/07 (SQL 2005, which SCCM requires, can also be downloaded from the MVLS website). Customers can download the 120-day evaluation version (which is RTM code, link is below) to begin their testing and once they get their MVLS product key, they will be able to apply the product key using a simple upgrade process (no re-installation will be required). It should be noted that the 120-day evaluation version does NOT support an in-place upgrade from SMS 2003 SP2/SP3. SCCM is also available for download for MSDN subscribers, but this version cannot be used in production (which is the case for all products downloaded from MSDN). (more)
