Let’s dicuss how to Install SCCM ConfigMgr Current Branch Primary Server Configuration Manager. The latest posts are available below.

This video tutorial will help you understand how to install the SCCM ConfigMgr Current Branch Primary server. I’m using SCCM CB TP version 1603 in this video.  

For Tech Preview, we can only install the SCCM CB Primary server. We can’t install CAS with the SCCM CB TP version 🙂  

We can install only one version, and that is English. We can’t select other languages during the installation if it’s a technical preview version of SCCM CB. Don’t forget to open the log file ConfigMgrSETUP.log with CMTrace.exe to see the progress of the SCM CB primary server installation.
