How to install System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP1

Asked by: gacus

I am trying to installed System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP1 R2.  All prereqs check out just fine but when I run the installer it stops during the install of the "SMS provider."  The following shows in the log file.

<02-02-2009 14:49:40> CompileMOFFile: Failed to compile MOF C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Configuration Manager\bin\i386\smsRprt.mof, error -1
<02-02-2009 14:49:40> Setup cannot compile MOF file C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Configuration Manager\bin\i386\smsRprt.mof.  Do you want to continue?
<02-02-2009 14:49:40> Setup failed to install SMS Provider.  For more information about this error, see Microsoft Knowledge Base at http://microsoft.com or contact Microsoft Technical Support for further assistance.

I have googled this and found many different things to try, but none of them have done anything.  Most say the SPN must be set correctly.  I have checked this and it is set correctly.  I following the directions on the following page to set it.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/909801

I installed SQL Server Management studio and ran the query

"select auth_scheme from sys.dm_exec_connections where session_id=@@spid"

 on the machine that I am trying to install config manager on.  It returns "KERBEROS" as expected.

Specs:

Install Config Manager on a box with:

Windows Server 2008 Ent x64bit

SQL Server Cluster is running on:

Windows Server 2003 x64bit
SQL Server 2005 Cluster

Any Ideas?

The Site server and SQL Server are on two different domains.  There is a forest trust between them with selective auth.

Hi,
Please check the following steps:

1. Install Windows 2003 Cluster

2. Install SQL 2000/2005 Cluster

3. By default, Windows will not register SQL Server virtual name in Active Directory, for successfully installing SCCM 2007 on Clustered SQL Server, you must register it. Go to step 4

4. Run setspn.exe (you can download it from Microsoft download center:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=5fd831fd-ab77-46a3-9cfe-ff01d29e5c46&displaylang=en) utility as below:

setspn MSSQLSvc/SQLSERVER1:1433  

SQLSERVER1 is your SQL Server virtual name

setspn MSSQLSvc/SQLSERVER1.contoso.com:1433

SQLSERVER1.contoso.com is FQDN for SQL Server virtual name

5. Add computer account for installing SCCM 2007 to local administrators group on every SQL cluster node.

6. Add user account for installing SCCM 2007 to local administrators group on every SQL cluster node.

7. Restart computer for installing SCCM 2007, and logon with user account for setup

8. Launch SCCM 2007 installer, conduct a normal setup

Thank you for your assistance.  I have already run through all those steps without success.

I switched to Forest Auth and it installed!  Then I was able to find the sql user, give my sccm user rights to auth for that user and turn select auth back on.  Now everything installs fine.  Turned out to be an issue with selective authentication.

 

by: cytexonePosted on 2009-03-27 at 09:59:31ID: 24003121

So gacus, what string outputs now when you check the auth_scheme? I'm curious because I'm running into some issues with my SQL Server and SCCM.
