Installation
The steps for each installation:
Server Installation
| Step | Description |
| 1. Welcome | Welcome screen |
| 2. Licence Agreement | If the licence is located in the setup directory, it will be detected automatically. |
| 3. System requirements | Display of the required system requirements; if the system does not meet these requirements, the background turns red. |

List of required roles and features; existing roles and features are indicated by a green tick. Any required roles and features that are not present should be installed before installing SCCM Manager. |
| 5. SQL Server | Select the SQL Server on which to install the database; the setup dialogue cannot proceed until a connection to the SQL Server has been established. If a database named SCCMManager already exists, the database will not be installed. In this case, a corresponding message will appear. |
| 6. SCCM Server | Selecting the SCCM server; the setup dialogue cannot be continued until a connection to the SCCM provider has been established. The username and password can only be entered if the SCCM server is installed on a remote machine. (i.e. SCCM server <> server on which the SCCM Manager is installed) |
| 7. Installation path | Select the installation destination; default: %ProgramFiles(x86)%\smcTeam\SCCM Manager |
| 9. Summary | Summary of the installation configuration. |

Licensing
Each licence is valid for exactly one system and applies to the web service required to run the SCCM Manager. Trial licences have an expiry date. New licences can be installed using the Licence Manager. A backup copy of the old licence is created during this process. The details of the current licence are also displayed here. Licence information can also be viewed in the client component under the menu item ‘File → About’.
If no licence is available, an error message will appear stating that a file could not be read correctly.
Known Issues
Operating system language
In the System Requirements step, an error is displayed if the operating system language is not de-DE or en-US. This error can be ignored.
SCCM Manage Server installation on client operating systems
In principle, it is possible to install the SCCM Manager Server on client operating systems, but this is not supported.
(401) Unauthorized
When launching SCCM Manager (Admin), the following error message may appear: ‘The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorised. http://%SERVERNAME%/SCCMManager/download/Client.zip’
In the SCCM Manager installation directory (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\smcTeam\SCCM Manager\download), check the NTFS permissions for Client.zip. These should include an entry for ‘%Servername\Users’ with Read, Execute and Read-only permissions.
SQL database connection
If, during the SCCM Manager Server installation, in Step 5 (SQL Server), the connection test detects an existing SCCM Manager database, a message box appears with the message: ‘A database with the name “SCCMManager” already exists. Do you want to continue?’. If you respond to this dialogue with ‘Yes’, the “Next” button becomes active and the installation can continue. However, if the connection test is repeated and this time the dialogue is answered with ‘No’, a crash occurs in Step 9: Summary.
