Another new feature in the secondary site installation is the ability to create the addresses during installation for both the address going FROM the secondary TO the primary, and the address going FROM the primary TO the secondary. In Config. Mgr 2. Config. Mgr administrator would remember. One thing youll see a lot in Config. Mgr 2. 01. 2 is this concept of groups. In the past we had DP groups and in 2. Boundary Groups. I wont detail boundary groups in this topic since theres enough for a separate topic on that, but suffice it to say that boundaries can now be used hierarchy wide and are no longer to be used at the site specified. In order for a boundary to actually be used, a boundary group needs to be defined and applied to a site system either distribution point or state migration point. In my case for this post, I have not created a boundary group for this site. Review the summary and click next and at the completion screen click close. In your Config. Mgr console you should now see something similar to the above picture. In the past, you wouldnt have any installation status of the secondary site if installing from the administrator console. Notice at the top on the ribbon there is an option for Show Install Status If we click on that we see the following Wow We actually have the ability via the console to see exactly whats going on during a secondary site installationBut what about that failure on the first line Why did we fail If we dig a little into the above window, we can see that we failed in a few places Configuration Manager Setup requires that the logged on user possess administrative rights on the site server computer Well, this cant be true, since we do have domain admin rights and those rights are on the server. Short File Name 8. Setup could not determine if 8. Firewall is on and ports 1. So these are the three main failures, but the installation status doesnt give me all the information I want.

Please check config. Mgr. Prereq. log for results. The Config. Mgr. Prereq. Config. Mgr. Prereq. Opening that log gives us a little more information Heres our message about not having user administrative rights, which is not true. The next error talks about short file name support not being verified. This error is actually the following Short File Name 8. Support Site system Error Setup either could not verify that short file name 8. No further prerequisite checking rules can be evaluated on the specified system. Setup cannot continue. The next error talks about the Firewall exception for SQL server. Since were not in a cross domain situation, we can probably throw this one out. But we also have one last error to look at that wasnt listed in the status Failure to insert DRWCfg registry key, values, and subkeys error 3. So in total, we have four errors. What do we do to fix this We should either open the firewall ports for SQL or disable the firewall if its not needed. We should also give local administrator rights to the primary server computer object.
