In the first two posts we did all the preperation for the System Center 2012 Unified Installer. Now in this post we are going finally to run the Unified Installer.

 

  1. Start the System Center Unified Installer

  2. The System Center Unified Installer is not made for production so read the warning and click okay.

  3. Choose the System Center components you want to install.

I think this is very cool and can you save a lot of time if you are doing a Proof of Concept or a Lab deployment of the System Center products.

      At the moment there is no Unified Installer for SP1, You would have to recreated all the orchestrator runbooks for the unifed installer by yourself.

    Great guide, one query I have is that do all the target servers are required to be running at the time of install?
    is it ok if if I boot up the server when a component on that server is getting installed?
    Asking because I have my target servers running as vms and it is not possible (my hardware) to run more than 5 servers at a time.
    In wait of your response.
