SCCM 2007: Install prerequisites on Windows Server 2008 R2

Originally published Last updated 3 comments

SCCM 2007 has prerequisites that must be installed before setup. I am installing SCCM 2007 SP2 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 virtual machine, my second SCCM 2007 server in the lab. The next installation will be the final one, and I want to automate its prerequisites with a script.

Windows Server 2008 R2 provides dism.exe for installing roles and features. I ran dism /online  /Get-Features /format:table on my first server and copied the output into Excel. With formatting and functions, I generated the command needed for the new SCCM server.

Install the prerequisite roles and features

Run this command from an elevated administrator command prompt:

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

When I ran the Configuration Manager 2007 SP2 prerequisite checker, only Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) was reported missing. That was acceptable for this installation because I was not installing the Software Update role.

Configure IIS WebDAV

Enable and configure the IIS WebDAV Authoring Rules before starting.
