ConfigMgr Admin Console install notes

This is a FAST-PUBLISH article and is incomplete.

A few quick notes on installing the ConfigMgr 2012 Admin Console.

The console is a 32-bit (x86) application and it will run on many operating systems

• Install .NET Framework 4.0
• Install the console
• Install any hotfixes you have applied to the server such as a Cumulative Update

For in-console reporting

• Install .NET Framework 4.0 Extended (not the Client Profile).  This should have already been installed as a dependency to the Admin Console.

  • ENU\x64\SQLSysClrTypes.msi
