I am currently working as a Senior Field Consultant. I started my professional career in 1999 in India. In the year 1999 I decided to transition from the Retail Industry to hard core Information Technology, which was always my strength and desire. I realised my strengths and keen interest when I worked on Dbase III Plus a few years back but due to various constraints I could not pursue my career at that point in time. I have worked in various capacities in the fields of Software Technology, as Systems administrator, Systems Support Engineer, Implementations Engineer and Senior Implementation Engineer. Currently, I am based as Senior Field Consultant for a Microsoft Gold Partner in Oxford, U.K.
I am certified in various disciplines

Step by step guide installing SCCM 2007 Part 12 is the most exciting part where we actually get to install the main product i.e. System Center Configuration Manager 2007. We will first run the Prerequisites check & than start the final installation process.
Let's take a look how this is done.
Browse to the location where setup files have been copied.
Start setup, if you have used a CD you will see the splash screen directly as it will auto play unless this has been disabled.
Click on " Run the prerequisite checker "
Enter the relevant fields & Click OK.
Once the checks have run and completed, the results will be shown as in the box below.
So we can safely ignore this error and carry on as we really dont have any warnings to worry about.
In Site code, type HAP
In Site name, type Pilot Headquarters Site.
Click Configuration Manager Mixed Mode.
I will cover Native mode at a upcoming article but for now we will stick to the mixed mode.
Select the appropriate option for obtaining client prerequisite component files. Files can be downloaded as part of Setup, or they can be used from an alternate location to which the client prerequisite component files have already been downloaded.
Specify the path to store client prerequisite component files downloaded during Setup or the path to the alternate location to which client prerequisite component files have previously been downloaded.
Note:You can use the Setup command-line option Setup /download path_to_files to download client prerequisite component files without running the complete Configuration Manager Setup Wizard.
The above screen indicates the files which have been downloaded by setup.
Once setup has completed you will also notice the " System Management " Container is getting populated with additional SCCM 2007 objects.
Good Luck !!!
