The setupdl.exe shell will keep you updated and give you specifics on the download as it progresses real-time. Grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and relax as it will take a while to download all of the updates, depending on your network connection. These updates can be stored in a network location or locally on the machine. The first thing we are going to want to do is click the Get the latest Configuration Manager updates. You will be prompted where to save the files, I have a hard drive attached to this server for data and applications, so I will be saving these files there in a folder called “ConfigMgr_Updates”. I am using a freeware utility MagicDisc to mount my ISO files. RDP to your SCCM MP and launch the splash HTML Application from the SCCM 2012 ISO file. Now we have finally reached the point here in Part III where we will be actually performing the installation of System Center Configuration Manager 2012, so let’s begin.

In Part II we setup the SCCM Certificate templates, created Group Policies for our clients, and setup all of the proper certificates on our SCCM Management Point.

In Part I we completed the preparation of Active Directory, along with our SCCM Management Point and SQL Server.
