System Centre Operations Manager 2012–Lab Installation

UPDATE: See my new install procedure for installing SCOM 2012 in HA configuration, including the reporting component
First, I have to check to make sure I have all the prerequisite infrastructure in-place:
  • Domain Controller – SCOM Server joined to domain
  • SQL Server 2008 R2 – Installed with SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS collation and Full Text Indexing

    imageimage
  • Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 installed on the SCOM Server
Now I will install the remainder of the prerequisites on the SCOM Server:
  • Windows pre-requisites – Installed via PowerShell
Import-Module ServerManager
Add-WindowsFeature Web-Static-Content,Web-Default-Doc,Web-Dir-Browsing,Web-Http-Errors,Web-Http-Logging,Web-Request-Monitor,Web-Filtering,Web-Static-Content,Web-Server,Web-Metabase,Web-Asp-Net,Web-Windows-Auth,Web-Stat-Compression
  • .Net 4.0
Ensure the following are allowed:

Mixed mode seems logical to me

All Domain Admin, just to make the install easier, I will click the link in the bottom left if I install in a production environment

Expected warning about being security silly.

Happy to help.

Yep, update automagically please.
