SCCM 2016 configuration Management Series (Part 1-4)

Describes the configuration of Active Directory Domain Services (ADDS) on AD01, and then joins the Configuration Manager server (CM16) into the newly created domain. Then you create users, user groups, and OU in Active Directory, and create a system management container. Finally, delegate the permissions of the Configuration Manager server to the System Management container

SCCM 2016 configuration Management Series (Part 5-7)

Windows Server 2016 roles and features are configured on the Configuration Manager master server (CM16), and Windows ADK 1709 components are downloaded and installed. Next, SQL Server 2017 CU5 is installed and the WSUS role is added.

The role uses SQL to store SUSDB instead of Windows Internal Database (WID)

SCCM 2016 configuration Management Series (Part 8-9)

We will download and extract the ConfigMgr image, download the ConfigMgr prerequisites, and then extend the Active Directory schema in the installation of System Center Configuration Manager (current branch) version 1802.

SCCM 2016 configuration Management Series (Part 10)

Create a collection of devices to prepare for SCCM Client Agent installation, as well as software push task sequences and patch updates. The collections created include some based on the recently released Windows 10 version 1803

Now we will further configure the server by enabling some discovery methods and creating boundaries and boundary groups.

Configure the Discovery method

Active Directory Discovery method

The Configuration Manager 2016 Active Directory discovery method can discover Active Directory sites, subnets, users, and computers stored in Active Directory domain services. To discover information from Active Directory, Configuration Manager needs to access the Active Directory location you specify and will use the computer account of the site server running the Active Directory discovery method.

Determine the discovery method to be used

To discover possible Configuration Manager client computer or user resources, the appropriate discovery method must be enabled. You can use different combinations of discovery methods to find different resources and find additional information about those resources. The discovery method you use determines the types of resources you discover and the Configuration Manager services and proxies used during the discovery process.

Discovery computer

If you want to discover computers, you can use Active Directory system discovery or network discovery.

For example, if you want to discover resources that can install Configuration Manager clients before using the client push installation, you can run Active Directory system Discovery. Alternatively, you can run network discovery and use its options to discover the operating system for resources (required for later installation using the push client). However, by using Active Directory system discovery, you can discover not only resources, but also basic information, and extended information about it from Active Directory domain services. This information may help you build complex queries and collections for assigning client settings or content deployment. On the other hand, you can use Heartbeat Discovery only to force the discovery of clients that are installed by means other than client push installation. However, unlike other discovery methods, Heartbeat Discovery cannot find computers without active Configuration Manager clients and returns a limited set of information. It is designed to maintain existing database records. The information submitted by Heartbeat Discovery may not be sufficient to build complex queries or collections.

If you use Active Directory group discovery to discover the membership of a specified group, you can discover limited system or computer information. This does not replace the complete discovery of the computer, but it can provide basic information.

Discover users

If you want to discover information about the user, you can use Active Directory user discovery. Similar to Active Directory system discovery, this method discovers users from Active Directory and includes basic information in addition to extended Active Directory information. You can use this information to build complex queries and collections similar to computers.

Discover group information

If you want to discover information about groups and group membership, use Active Directory Group Discovery. This discovery method creates resource records for security groups.

In addition to any nested groups in that group, you can also use this method to search for a specific Active Directory group to identify its members. You can also use this method to search for a group at an Active Directory location and recursively search for each child container at that location in the Active Directory domain service.

This discovery method can also search for distribution group membership. This identifies the group relationship between the user and the computer.

Discover infrastructure

You can use two methods to discover the infrastructure, Active Directory forest discovery and network discovery.

You can use Active Directory forest search to search the Active Directory forest for information about subnets and Active Directory site configuration. These configurations can then be automatically entered into Configuration Manager as boundary locations. If you want to discover the network topology, use network discovery.

Step 1. Enable Discovery method

Do the following on the SCCM server as SMSadmin

Click the Administration workspace, expand Overview, hierarchy configuration, and select Discovery method, and you can see that heartbeat Discovery is the only method enabled by default. Our enterprise applications want to be able to discover all computers and users, so we will enable the following discovery methods

Our enterprise applications want to be able to discover all computers and users, so we will enable the following discovery methods

Active Directory Forest Discovery Active Directory Group Discovery Active Directory system Discovery Active Directory user Discovery

Right-click Active Directory Forest Discovery and select Properties

Check the three available options

Click Apply and OK
