Windows Server 2008 Standard SP2 64-bit running on VMware ESXi, SQL Server 2008 SP2 64-bit When trying to install System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP2 on the above platform I consistently get the same issue. The server is being built using a template which was created by a previous admin and contains regeistry entries which increase security - I suspect that it's one of these entries or something else in the image causing this problem. I have installed from MS media as a test and do not get this issue. The problem I am experiencing is the installation is timing out and I get the following in the installer results summary: If I look in the ComponentSetup.log file I can see the following: When checking though the rest of the setup is appears corrupted and most notably the SMS_EXECUTIVE service has not been installed and the whole installation is corrupt. I have tried the following to fix the issue: Running "lodctr.exe /r" to repair perfmon Adding server computer account to domain admins during installation ensuring the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation DWORD 0 is set (followed by a reboot) I am also seeing lots of 1016 and 1020 error messages for just about all components. Can anyone help me resolve this issue? Jonathan Conway | MCITP: Enterprise Administrator • MCP • MCSE 2003 • MCTS System Center Configuration Manager 2007 • VCP

Hi, Did you run the Setup Prerequisite Checks? Also, please try to take the following suggestions to test: 1. Disable UAC on 2008 server- Set to never notify 2. Stop and disable antivirus services from services.msc Regards, Sabrina This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees, and confers no rights. |Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

The setup Prerequisite checks run fine ahead of install and I've done this install many times before so I know they are all installed. As stated in my initial question, I have run this same install on a test machine using Microsoft media and it works fine - the issue seems to be something contained within the corporate server build being used on the account. UAC and Windows Firewall are both disabled and there is no AV software running.Jonathan Conway | MCITP: Enterprise Administrator MCP MCSE 2003 MCTS System Center Configuration Manager 2007 VCP

I've noticed that there a few messages about components failing to install but most lead to the steps I've already taken - see the initial post at the top i.e. corrupt perfmon, 8dot3, etc. Anyone got any ideas?Jonathan Conway | MCITP: Enterprise Administrator MCP MCSE 2003 MCTS System Center Configuration Manager 2007 VCP

Did you configure the server per TechNet: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc431377.aspx?Jason | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jsandys | Twitter @JasonSandys

Yes. I've followed the same procedure using the same media to sucessfully install in a test environment - the only difference is in my test environment I have installed from Microsoft media, whereas on the failing install I am using the customers own Windows Server 2008 image which includes various security hardening aspects such as local GPO and registry settings.Jonathan Conway | MCITP: Enterprise Administrator MCP MCSE 2003 MCTS System Center Configuration Manager 2007 VCP

Well, if it quacks like a duck... I recommend starting clean and applying the settings in the policy one by one after you install ConfigMgr so that you know what breaks it. Here's a fabulous session I recommend you give to whomever created and/or endorsed this security posture: Unintended Consequences of Security Lockdowns (http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/TechEd/NorthAmerica/2011/SIM304).Jason | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jsandys | Twitter @JasonSandys

3rd Rebuild of the server resolved the issue. Still none the wiser as to what caused this issue but case closed. Next...Jonathan Conway | MCITP: Enterprise Administrator MCP MCSE 2003 MCTS System Center Configuration Manager 2007 VCP

Update - in case it helps someone. The various blogs/notes/TechNet articles about SCCM migration/restore are lacking in some cirtical details. I have vaguely similar issue as above - but during my "site repair" from a (sccm 2007) 32-bit w2k3 to 64-bit w2k8 (r2) system, the restore succeeds up to the point of "Restore Registry Files" - at that point, it gives status of '"Failed." On my other thread about this issue, I have over 30 hits, and no comments yet. For one thing, I've seen several notes that say, "keep your install path the same;" i.e., c:\sms, and "all else will magically happen." One note also says, "Oh the DB location doesn't matter." WELL, IT DOES! On my old box, it was c:\smsdata On my new box, it is c:\sqldata And, lo and behold, there is an hklm "sms" key that points back to c:\smsdata - so, YES, IF YOU CHANGE DB LOCATION, IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE! :-) Also, I am AMAZED that nobody knows exactly what this "Restore Registry Files" step does - if we could at least have some insight into that, as well as more verbose output somewhere, it would help. For instance, I had no idea there were any logs apparently on the top of the C: drive, until reading this posting (thanks, btw - you would think this would be one of THE TOP things mentioned in 'troubleshooting' - but maybe I missed it). FYI, I do not appear to have a 'sitecomp.log', but i do have ConfigMgrSetup.log, ComponentSetup.log and ConfigMgrPrereq.log. My ConfigMgrSetup.log looks similar to the one above. So, if I modify the "DB path" in the SMS key and apply that to my new server, will it be happy - or, should I go to the trouble of moving the DB to the same path as it was in prevously? Note: AFTER the 'restore registy files' step, there is Start Services, Get Data from Database, and Checking for Permissions steps. Bottom line: If the "Site Repair Wizard" doesn't finish, due to a small glitch, then whomever wrote the Site Repair Wizard should give us enough insight that we could finish the task on our own. Example: Does the 'restore registry files' step restore MORE THAN ONE registry file? The only thing I know for sure is that there is an HKLM SMS key - fyi, my previous install was SCCM upgrade to 2007 from a prior 2003 SMS installation. Are there other keys that come into play? If I know what this "restore registry files step" does, then I could finish fixing it on my own. Thanks! Any insight(s) would be appreciated. tnjman

I *guess* that this step restores the registry files that are located in the SiteServer folder of the ConfigMgr backup (SMSbkSiteRegNAL.dat and SMSbkSiteRegSMS.dat), but this might be completely wrong though.Torsten Meringer | http://www.mssccmfaq.de

We had the exact same issue that Jonathan originally had. One of the SCCM prerequisite checker prerequisites that originally failed was that "Short file name (8.3) support" was not enabled (there was a security lockdowns/template that had disabled this). But before this was found, there had already been something installed to "D:\Program Files (x86)". Then we enabled "Short file name (8.3) support" with fsutil.exe behavior set disable8dot3 0 command, and checked the registry key for NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation and it was 0. Then the SCCM prerequisite checker passed "Short file name (8.3) support", and the installation of SCCM started... but it failed when running the "D:\Program Files (x86)\MICROS~1\bin\i386\COMREG~1.EXE /install /siteserver:SCCM01" command (and future commands). Note that "D:\Program Files (x86)" above is not truncated to "8.3 format", but the subfolder and command EXE are. So, the "D:\Program Files (x86)" folder had already been created without 8.3 support but the SCCM installation would see "Short file name (8.3) support" as enabled, would start OK, but fail. So our solution was to ensure to have "Short file name (8.3) support" enabled, uninstall everything that had already been installed to the "D:\Program Files (x86)" folder, delete "D:\Program Files (x86)", reboot, and then install SCCM... and it succeeded !!! For others that may see this, if you cannot uninstall everything from the "Program Files (x86)" folder where you will install SCCM... then ensure "Short file name (8.3) support" is enabled ... and install to some other folder, e.g. D:\SCCM e.g. the DIR /X /S at the root of D: shows below. Note that Program Files (x86) does not have a corresponding short file name. Directory of D:\ 28/03/2012 11:31 AM <DIR> Program Files (x86) Directory of D:\Program Files (x86) 21/03/2012 01:57 PM <DIR> ConfigMgr 2007 Toolkit V2 23/03/2012 02:56 PM <DIR> MICROS~1 Microsoft Configuration Manager I think this may be answer for Jonathan's original post; potentially on the "3rd rebuild of the server" that has been mentioned, nothing had already been installed to the "Program Files (x86)" folder... and the next SCCM install was successful.
