SCCM 1802 Install Guide Using Baseline Media

By Prajwal Desai Last updated Jul 27, 2018

This post is a Step-by-Step SCCM 1802 Install guide using Baseline Media. I was
waiting for SCCM 1802 baseline media to be released so that I can create a step-
by-step SCCM 1802 install guide. The last time that I created a bunch of step by
step guides was for SCCM 2012 R2. I will try my best to add all the information in
just one post. Basically I don’t want to split the info into parts because I know it is
time consuming and sometimes confusing as well.

SCCM 1802 Intro – We know that update 1802 for Configuration Manager current
branch is available as an in-console update. Here is my post that shows how to
install SCCM 1802 update. There are lot of new features and fixes in SCCM 1802.
You can apply this update on sites that run version 1702, 1706, or 1710. However if
you are installing SCCM for a new site, SCCM 1802 is now available as a baseline
version.

Who can use this guide – A lot of people had requested me to prepare a SCCM
1802 install guide. This is to install and get some hands on SCCM CB in lab setup.
If you are working as sys admin, SCCM admin or any profession that requires you
to work on SCCM, this guide should help you. I understand that not everyone
wants to try something new on prod setup directly. Though you might have access
to SCCM running in your prod setup, who would want to make changes without
approval ?. So the best thing is to have SCCM installed on your lab setup so that
you can try out things by yourself.

 So here is what my SCCM 1802 lab setup includes. You can either use Hyper-V or
VMware as hypervisor. If you want to add more client operating systems in your
setup, feel free to do so. I will be using Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter as
operating system for installing SCCM and other roles. That’s my choice and I still
love 2012 R2 OS. You can use Windows Server 2016 if you want to.

SCCM 1802 Install Guide – Installing Windows

ADK 1709
This website uses cookies to improve your experience. We'll assume you're ok with this, but you can opt-

 When you deploy operating systems with Configuration Manager, the Windows
ADK is required. ADK is a collection of tools that you can use to customize, assess,
and deploy Windows OS to new computers. The latest version is ADK version 1709.
It is always good to download ADK offline so that it can installed quickly. To
download and install ADK offline refer this post.

Perform the below steps to Install Windows ADK 1709 for SCCM 1802. We will be
installing ADK on SCCM server.

Right click adksetup executable and click Run as Administrator.

SCCM 1802 Install Guide – Installing SQL Server

2017
This website uses cookies to improve your experience. We'll assume you're ok with this, but you can opt-

 We will now look at the steps to install SQL Server 2017 for SCCM 1802. For
supported SQL version for SCCM 1802, refer this post. We will be installing SQL
server 2017 Enterprise x64 version. Each Configuration Manager site requires a
supported SQL Server version and configuration to host the site database. For CAS
and Primary sites, SQL Server can be located on site server computer or on
computer that is remote from the site server.

If you are installing SQL 2017 ensure you also install CU2 update. This update
contains the fixes listed here. You can first install SQL server 2017 and then install
cumulative update 2. I assume you install the CU2 after installing SQL server 2017.

Note – If you install SQL server 2016 and above, by default SQL management
studio is not installed on the machine. Microsoft decided to split the installation of
management studio from the main SQL server installation. Probably the idea
behind is to manage your SQL servers remotely. Read this post for more info.

Launch the SQL server setup (run as administrator). On the installation window,
click Installation and then click New SQL server stand-alone installation.

deploying client agents. If there is a firewall between the site system servers and
the client computer, confirm whether the firewall permits traffic for the ports that
are required for the client installation.

File and Printer Sharing.

Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).

You also need to create a group policy to open TCP ports 1433 and 4022. Refer the
