I have a question regarding SCCM dashboard installation. Setup: Windows SharePoint service and dashboard is installed on and on a dedicated system. SharePoint Setup was performed using advanced option, the default database for windows SharePoint services was not installed. Instead, the database for SharePoint service was added to config manager server. SharePoint website was installed on port 12345. Question: SCCM dashboard is unable to continue when I specify port 12345 for the dashboard web site. However when a different port is provided, the setup continues. SCCM dashboard will not install the on the same port of has a share point services portal. Can someone please provide any information about this? Thank you.

Port 12345 is for the SharePoint admin site, thus it is being used and cannot host another site. The ConfigMgr Dashboard installs a new site and thus must be on another port. This all SharePoint centric though so I recommend researching basic SharePoint concepts like sites: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc288070(office.12).aspx, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc288644(office.12).aspx.
