1.1.5 USMT: Supported Operating Systems
The User State Migration Tool (USMT) 5.0 does not have any explicit RAM or CPU speed requirements for either
the source or destination computers. If your computer complies with the system requirements of the
operating system, it also complies with the requirements for USMT. You need an intermediate store location
large enough to hold all of the migrated data and settings, and the same amount of hard disk space on the
destination computer for the migrated files and settings.
The following table lists the operating systems supported in USMT.
Operating Systems ScanState (source computer) LoadState (destination computer)
Windows® XP Professional X
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition X
32-bit versions of Windows Vista® X X
64-bit versions of Windows Vista X X
32-bit versions of Windows® 7 X X
64-bit versions of Windows 7 X X
32-bit versions of Windows® 8 X X
64-bit versions of Windows 8 X X
Note:
You can migrate a 32-bit operating system to a 64-bit operating system. However, you cannot migrate a 64-
bit operating system to a 32-bit operating system.
USMT does not support any of the Windows Server® operating systems, Windows 2000, or any of the starter
editions for Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7. In addition, USMT only supports migration from
Windows XP with Service Pack 3.
Windows® RT is not supported for USMT. For more information about how to migrate content to and from
Windows RT, see Windows Easy Transfer.

2 Some Errors to Watch Out For (Real Errors from Failed
Installation)
2.1 Schema Extensions (Warning):
Configuration Manager Active Directory schema extensions are not required for site server
installation, but are recommended to fully support the use of all Configuration Manager Features.
For more information about the advantages of extending the schema extensions, see the
Configuration Manager Product documentation. More info http://technet.microsoft.com/en-
us/library/gg712272.aspx
2.2 Firewall exceptions for SQL Server (Warning):
The Windows Firewall is enabled and does not have exceptions configured for SQL Server or the
TCP ports that are required for inter-site data replication. To resolve this issue, allow sqlservr.exe or
the required TCP ports to be accessed remotely. By default, SQL Server listens on TCP port 1433 and
the SQL Broker Service uses TCP port 4022, but custom ports might be configured. See
ConfigMgrPrereq.log for port details.
2.3 SQL Server service running account (Failed):
The logon account for the SQL Server service cannot be a local user account, NT SERVICE<sql
service name> or LOCAL SERVICE. You must configure the SQL Server service to use a valid domain
account, NETWORK SERVICE, or LOCAL SYSTEM.
2.4 Verify site server permissions to publish to Active Directory (Warning):
The site server might be unable to publish to Active Directory. The computer account for the site
server must have Full Control permissions to the System Management container in its Active
Directory domain. You can ignore this warning if you have manually verified these permissions. For
more information about your options to configure required permissions, see
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=233190.
2.5 SQL Server Version (Failed):
Configuration Manager Sites require a supported SQL Server version with required hotfixes for site
database operations to succeed. Before Setup can continue, you must install a supported version
of SQL Server on the specified site database server. For more information, see
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=232936.
2.6 SQL Server Edition (Failed):
Configuration Manager primary site and central administration site don’t support SQL Server Express
Edition.
2.7 SQL Server TCP Port (Failed):
Configuration Manager primary site and central administration site require SQL Server Tcp is
enabled and set to Static port.
2.8 Configuration for SQL Server memory usage (Warning):
SQL Server is configured for unlimited memory usage. You should configure SQL Server memory to
have a maximum limit.
Prepared by: Shahab Al Yamin Chawdhury
Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2012 R2 Preview Installation

2.9 SQL Server Process Memory Allocation (Warning):
Configuration Manager requires SQL Server to reserve a minimum of 8 gigabytes (GB) of memory
for the central administration site and primary site and a minimum of 4 gigabytes (GB) for the
secondary site. This memory is reserved by using the Minimum server memory setting under Server
Memory Options and is configured by using SQL Server Management Studio. For more information
about how to set a fixed amount of memory, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=233759
2.10 BITS Installed/Enabled (Warning):
Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) is required for the management point and distribution
point site system roles. BITS is not installed, IIS 6 WMI compatibility component for IIS7 is not installed
on this computer or the remote IIS host, or Setup was unable to verify remote IIS settings because IIS
common components were not installed on the site server computer. Also, check if IIS/BITS services
are running properly. Setup cannot continue until BITS is installed and enabled in the IIS settings.

4.6 Deployment
Though it seems ordinary to deploy SCCM 2012 R2 in an SQL environment, as I have shown how to install SQL
server and get an instance from it through SCCM installation. But if you don’t have any SQL server in your
company to get an instance out of it, use SQL Express which is built into SCCM 2012 R2. So the installation
follows, providing that you have installed ADK, .Net and other feature requirements.

FIGURE 31: SITE SETTINGS
Now this is where you first put in your site code, example RHQ etc. And for site name put in something like
“APAC Head Quarter” or which best suits you! Don’t forget to install the CM console.
FIGURE 32: PRIMARY SITE FQDN
Since this is the first site, it does not have any hierarchy, but if you already have another SCCM installed and
want this one to add it, by all means do at your discretion.

FIGURE 33: SERVER HIERARCHY
And click on the Yes and continue to next step. You really can expand the primary sites, secondary sites at a
later time as well.
FIGURE 34: DB INFORMATION
Now put in your FQDN address, and the DB name….example : SCCMPDB_RHQ, sounds about right, as SCCM
will be having it’s Primary DB on this SQL Server on Service Broker Port @ 4022.

FIGURE 35: DB PATH
If you don’t want to change the default path for installation, leave it and move forward.
FIGURE 36: CLIENT COMMUNICATIONS
If you have a PKI Infrastructure or Root CA, you might want to check this, as this will ensure and validate each
client since HTTPS will ask for the vlid certificate for each client.

FIGURE 39: SETTING SUMMARY PRIOR DEPLOYMENT
Now SCCM is ready to install and this is the snapshot of the configuration.
FIGURE 40: PREREQUISITE CHECK
And since we haven’t installed the Windows 8.1 ADK, now is a good time to so. After doing that Run Check
again.

FIGURE 41: ADK INSTALLATION
You will only require the following components for the SCCM to work:
 Deployment Tools
 WinPE
 USMT
FIGURE 42: PREREQUISITE RE-CHECK
Now we have loads of warnings to install onto a domain controller. Let’s begin install SCCM 2012 R2.

  • 8. Prepared by: Shahab Al Yamin Chawdhury Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2012 R2 Preview Installation 7 1.1.5 USMT: Supported Operating Systems The User State Migration Tool (USMT) 5.0 does not have any explicit RAM or CPU speed requirements for either the source or destination computers. If your computer complies with the system requirements of the operating system, it also complies with the requirements for USMT. You need an intermediate store location large enough to hold all of the migrated data and settings, and the same amount of hard disk space on the destination computer for the migrated files and settings. The following table lists the operating systems supported in USMT. Operating Systems ScanState (source computer) LoadState (destination computer) Windows® XP Professional X Windows XP Professional x64 Edition X 32-bit versions of Windows Vista® X X 64-bit versions of Windows Vista X X 32-bit versions of Windows® 7 X X 64-bit versions of Windows 7 X X 32-bit versions of Windows® 8 X X 64-bit versions of Windows 8 X X Note: You can migrate a 32-bit operating system to a 64-bit operating system. However, you cannot migrate a 64- bit operating system to a 32-bit operating system. USMT does not support any of the Windows Server® operating systems, Windows 2000, or any of the starter editions for Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7. In addition, USMT only supports migration from Windows XP with Service Pack 3. Windows® RT is not supported for USMT. For more information about how to migrate content to and from Windows RT, see Windows Easy Transfer.
  • 9. Prepared by: Shahab Al Yamin Chawdhury Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2012 R2 Preview Installation 8 2 Some Errors to Watch Out For (Real Errors from Failed Installation) 2.1 Schema Extensions (Warning): Configuration Manager Active Directory schema extensions are not required for site server installation, but are recommended to fully support the use of all Configuration Manager Features. For more information about the advantages of extending the schema extensions, see the Configuration Manager Product documentation. More info http://technet.microsoft.com/en- us/library/gg712272.aspx 2.2 Firewall exceptions for SQL Server (Warning): The Windows Firewall is enabled and does not have exceptions configured for SQL Server or the TCP ports that are required for inter-site data replication. To resolve this issue, allow sqlservr.exe or the required TCP ports to be accessed remotely. By default, SQL Server listens on TCP port 1433 and the SQL Broker Service uses TCP port 4022, but custom ports might be configured. See ConfigMgrPrereq.log for port details. 2.3 SQL Server service running account (Failed): The logon account for the SQL Server service cannot be a local user account, NT SERVICE<sql service name> or LOCAL SERVICE. You must configure the SQL Server service to use a valid domain account, NETWORK SERVICE, or LOCAL SYSTEM. 2.4 Verify site server permissions to publish to Active Directory (Warning): The site server might be unable to publish to Active Directory. The computer account for the site server must have Full Control permissions to the System Management container in its Active Directory domain.

This memory is reserved by using the Minimum server memory setting under Server Memory Options and is configured by using SQL Server Management Studio. For more information about how to set a fixed amount of memory, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=233759 2.10 BITS Installed/Enabled (Warning): Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) is required for the management point and distribution point site system roles. BITS is not installed, IIS 6 WMI compatibility component for IIS7 is not installed on this computer or the remote IIS host, or Setup was unable to verify remote IIS settings because IIS common components were not installed on the site server computer. Also, check if IIS/BITS services are running properly. Setup cannot continue until BITS is installed and enabled in the IIS settings.

Prepared by: Shahab Al Yamin Chawdhury Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2012 R2 Preview Installation 23 4.6 Deployment Though it seems ordinary to deploy SCCM 2012 R2 in an SQL environment, as I have shown how to install SQL server and get an instance from it through SCCM installation. But if you don’t have any SQL server in your company to get an instance out of it, use SQL Express which is built into SCCM 2012 R2. So the installation follows, providing that you have installed ADK, .Net and other feature requirements. FIGURE 22: INSTALLATION SCREEN Fire up the setup.hta file which fill present you with the above first screen. Click on the “Install”
