One of the most important steps of the installation is the choice of Site Code and Site Name for this choice is directly related to the design solução.Por this reason, we should always consider a standard and intuitive names that meets the requirements of growth ambiente.Lembrando that the site code and can not be modified or reused.

In the Site window mode, we must establish the operating mode of our estrutura.Devemos choose native mode when we do not have a coexistence of SCCM with SMS 2003, noting that the native mode is required PKI (public key infrastructure) for issuing certificates digitais.Devemos choose the mixed mode when we have a coexistence with SMS 2003, whether the level and server or client, or when we have a public key infrastructure.

Error when upgrading, installing and uninstalling or SCCM 2007

 

In some cases you may find the following records (below) inConfigmgrSetup.log when installing, upgrading and uninstalling or SCCM.

<11-22-2010 11:40:41> failed with 1300 AdjustTokenPrivileges
<11-22-2010 11:40:41> Could not verify an open MMC instance due to the error.
<11-22-2010 11:40:41> Exiting THREAD_Deinstall.

... Such a problem occurs due to lack of administrative law of the user running the setup, more specifically the right to "Debug programs" on the server.

To assign the right to run secpol.msc and navigate to Local Policies \ User Rights Assignment on the option DEBUG PROGRAMS add the user running the setup.

I hope this is helpful!
