1.1 Understand what's central Site

Central Administration Site

A Central Administration site (CAS) are the top site server in the hierarchy. Unlike

The other site servers, your cannot assign any clients to the CAS, nor can you install

Any user-facing site systems roles except from the software update point. A CAS

Stores client data for any clients in the hierarchy in a SQL Server database called the

CONFIGMGR site database. The CAS can has multiple primary child sites, all of

Which send data to the CAS. At the CAS, you also the Administrator console

from which you can manage hierarchy.

The central management site is the top site server in the hierarchy. Unlike other site servers, you cannot assign any clients to CAS other than software distribution points, and you cannot install any user-facing site system roles. The central management site stores data for all clients in the hierarchy in the SQL Server database that is called "CONFIGMGR site Database". A central administration site can have multiple primary sites, and all primary sites send data to the hub. In the Central Administration site, you also have the admin console from which you can manage hierarchies.

Question:do I always need a central administration site?

Answer:no, a CAS was needed only if you had more than than one primary site in the hierarchy. As a matter of fact, most readers of the book may never need to implement a CAS.

Q: Do I always need a central management site?

A: No, you need a central administration site only if you have multiple primary sites in your hierarchy.

Question:if needed, when should I install the Central Administration site?

Answer:with R2, you can install a CAS after you have installed a primary site.

Prior to Service Pack 1, your had to install the CAS first. There is

Really no reason to install a CAS upfront as a "just in case solution." I have the seen that do by many customers, and so far from none of the them needs a CAS.

Q: If I need to, when should I install the Central Administration site?

A: With the release of R2, you can install the Central Administration site after you install the primary site. Before SP1, you must first install the Central Administration site. Keep in mind that early as "just in case" really does not need to install the central management site. I have seen many projects completed by clients, so far none of them need a central management site.

1.2 Understand what's Primary Site

Primary Site

Need at least one primary site in the hierarchy. If you don't, there is

Really no reason for your to-finish reading this book or any other configmgr-related

Book. It ' s very simple:without a primary site, you have no working ConfigMgr

Environment. Clients can assigned only to a primary site. A Primary Site Stores

Client data for all clients assigned to the site in a SQL Server database called the

CONFIGMGR site database. Primary sites has administrative tools, such as the

Administrator console, that enable a Administrator to manage the site directly.

Primary sites can has multiple secondary sites, all of which send data to the

Primary site.

In summary, you need at least one primary site in the hierarchy. If not, there is really no need for you to complete this book or other relevant configmgr reading. Very simple, no main site, you do not configmgr work environment. The client can only be assigned to a primary site, and the primary site stores data for all clients assigned to the site in a SQL Server database called CONFIGMGR site. The primary site has many administrative tools, such as administrative tools that enable administrators to manage primary sites directly. A primary site can have multiple secondary sites, all of which send data to the primary site.
