I need to reinstall SCCM 2007. We had a vendor do the original install and the server that held the Configuration Manager software died and is not recoverable (long story). The database was installed on another server and is intact.<br />
<br />
It was a mixed mode install and I know the Site Code, Database name etc...We have 1800 clients in place but no site server. I've rebuilt the server and installed all the pre-requirements but when I run the install, it looks like it wants to re-create the database. Is it possible to just attach to the existing DB and reset the site or am I better off installing with a new site and DB and repointing the clients(if possible) Thanks.

Configuration Manager Reinstall

The Microsoft Server topic includes all of the legacy versions of the operating system, including the Windows NT 3.1, NT 3.5, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 and Windows Home Server versions.

Microsoft Server OS

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
