The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

How to install System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP1

Asked by gacus in MS System Center, Windows Server 2008, SQL Server 2005

Tags: Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 x64, SQL Server 2005 x64bit

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?
