How to configure another server as Management Point?
Hello everyone,
In lab environment; I've fully functional SCCM 2007 SP2 R3 primary site server (say Server1) with management point installed. I've also prepared another Server 2008 x64 server (say Server2) to host management point role. The purpose of exercise is
to create 2 node Network Load balanced Management Point cluster.
Now I've seen article :
How to Configure Network Load Balancing for Configuration Manager Site Systems
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb633031.aspx
And I've to go through that. My question is; do I've to have management point role installed on (Server2) prior to begin preparing for NLB configuration? How to install additional management point? I initiated SCCM setup program but it did not show
any option to just install management point, it shows install primary site, install or upgrade an administrator console.
Please advise. Thanks.
Regards,
Shahzad.

Hi everyone,
I found the answer. When walking through article I mentioned above; reaching at:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb633031.aspx#Install_The_Site_System
Procedure to install management point on Server2 is to navigate to :
Site Database | Site Management | <Site_Code> | Site Settings | Site Systems
Right click "Site Systems" from New > Server and follow through the wizard.
This helps install additional management point on second or subsequent server. Prerequisite is to add group containing SCCM Primary Site server to be member of local "Administrators" group on Server2.
Please leave some from your experience how to improve this process, I'll be closing this thread after 3 days. Thanks.

Shahzad.
