How to Start the Setup Prerequisite Checker
Configuration Manager 2007 Upgrade Checklist
Topic last updated—May 2008
The Configuration Manager 2007 setup prerequisite check helps you determine what you have to do in order to prepare your environment to install or upgrade a Configuration Manager 2007 primary site, secondary site, or Configuration Manager console. The prerequisite checker notifies you of any warnings or errors encountered that would cause setup or an upgrade to fail. Tests that result in a warning do not prevent you from successfully upgrading to Configuration Manager 2007. However, it is recommended that you resolve the condition that generated the warning before continuing the setup or upgrade process. Tests that result in an error do prevent you from continuing the setup or upgrade process. You must resolve the condition that generated the error before continuing Configuration Manager 2007 Setup.
Setup will make no changes to your system until after the prerequisite check process has successfully completed. If necessary, you can temporarily leave the setup process to correct prerequisite warnings and errors after the check has completed. Once any error conditions have been resolved, you can return to, and re-run, the prerequisite check process. Until all errors have been resolved, you will not be able to proceed with setup.
 Note |
|---|
| The Configuration Manager Setup prerequisite check rules verify that software and settings required for setup are installed. In some cases, the required software itself may require additional software updates not verified by Configuration Manager Setup. Before beginning setup, you should ensure that the computer operating system, and additional installed software components Configuration Manager Setup relies on, have been updated with all relevant software updates. |
