This post will cover the installation of SCCM 1902.
Microsoft has released new Baseline version ie 1902 for SCCM Current Branch, this version is also available as In-console update if your sites are running on version 1710, 1802, 1806 or 1810.
IP Helper-Address Configuration for PXE Boot
To support BIOS & UEFI Firmware based hardware, we need to execute following commands on Cisco Switch:
IP helper-address <IP address of DHCP server>
IP helper-address <IP address of WDS server>
IP forward-protocol UDP 4011
CONFIGURATION of IP Helper Tables explained
When the PXE client PC, the DHCP server, and WDS Server, are located on different subnets or vlans, IP helper tables need to be set up in the routers/switches so that the PXE network requests can be routed correctly to the appropriate server. Once the PXE network requests are routed correctly. the appropriate servers can answer. Requirement here is:
- Client to get IP address from DHCP Server
- Directing a client to appropriate Network Boot Program (wdsnbp.com or wdsmgfw.efi)
Installation Guide- Software Update Point Role
This post is part of SCCM Current Branch Installation Guide series
In this post we will Install & configure Software Update Point role.
Before proceeding with Software Update Point role, first we need to install to install WSUS.
In this guide, I am installing WSUS on same box where SCCM Server is installed. If you are planning to install WSUS on different server then make sure to install the WSUS administration console on the SCCM primary site server.

In this post we are are going to upgrade Domain Controller from “Server 2016” to “Server 2019”, this is also known as in-place Upgrade. There are few Pre-requisites. You will need to run adprep /forestprep and adprep /domainprep manually. Adprep /forestprep needs to be run only once in the forest. Adprep /domainprep needs to be run once in each domain in which you have domain controllers that you are upgrading to Windows Server 2016.

In this post we are going to create application for Office 2016 which can be deployed through SCCM. Before doing anything on SCCM, we need to customize the Office 2016 setup so that it can install the required components silently (without any user interaction).

In this post we are going to cover the configuration of Boundaries setup as part of SCCM Current Branch Installation Guide series
Why do we need Boundaries ?
Boundaries are required for 2 purposes:
- Site Assignment – Clients will get policies when assigned to a specific SCCM Site.
- Content Location – Clients will get the content from distribution point, hence proper boundaries should be defined so that they can get the content from appropriate source.
