SCCM lab

Thanks!

Thanks a lot to my colleague Issam (@KenjiEndo15), who start the project and provide me a lot of ansible roles to start from !

SCCM overview

Servers

4 virtual machines with Windows Server 2019

  • DC : Domain Controler
  • MECM : mecm primary site serer
  • MSSQL : mecm sql server
  • CLIENT : mecm client computer

All vms got defender activated

Prerequisites

  • The prerequisites for the lab are the same as GOAD lab (virtualbox/vmware, python, ansible,...)
  • The lab take 16GB for the vagrant image + 100GB for the 4 vms
  • The installation take environ 2,5 hours (with fiber connection)
  • The lab download multiple files during the install (windows iso, mecm installation package, mssql installation package, ...), be sure to have a good internet connection.

Writeup

proxmox installation

  • In order to use the proxmox provider follow this :

1) create a template with the windows_server2019_proxmox_cloudinit_uptodate.pkvars.hcl packer file (guide here: https://mayfly277.github.io/posts/GOAD-on-proxmox-part2-packer/) (note the id after the creation)

2) create the variable file (ad/SCCM/providers/proxmox/terraform/variables.tf) by coping the template (ad/SCCM/providers/proxmox/terraform/variables.tf.template) and change the value according to your proxmox environnement

3) on the provisioning computer : 

./goad.sh -t check -l SCCM -p proxmox -m local
./goad.sh -t install -l SCCM -p proxmox -m local

4) if something goes wrong (restart of the vms during install, etc...), you can rerun only ansible with -a 

./goad.sh -t install -l SCCM -p proxmox -m local -a
