Subject: SCCM & SCOM
Hello all, I've been off this list for a while as I was too busy in my last
role, so hello again
I am planning a deployment of SCCM 2007 and SCOM 2007. I have some initial
questions, and I'm sure many more to follow.
One of the networks I am deploying SCCM and SCOM to is spread across 3
separate domains in separate forests. I have read conflicting information on
this. I know separate forests are supported but I need to know if full
functionality is kept. I.e. Active Directory Discovery, Remote Tools, Inventory
and if this is supported in mixed mode as I don't want to deploy PKI.
The sites are reasonably small roughly 300 users per site with the largest
being 1500 SCCM clients at a single site. We will only be using Software
Updates, Software Deployment, Remote Tools and Inventory. I have spec'd. Total
clients reporting to a single primary will be an initial maximum of 2000
SCCM Primary Sites:
HP Proliant DL 380 G5's
1x Intel Xeon Quad Core 2.5GHz
8GB PC2-5300
4x 146GB 15k SAS Hot Swap Hard Disks
SCCM Secondary Sites
HP Proliant DL 160 G5's
1x Intel Xeon Quad Core 2.0GHz
4GB PC2-5300
4x 146GB 15k SAS Hot Swap Hard Disks
Does anybody have any thoughts on my HW selection as there is no capacity
planner available for SCCM and I haven't heard any real world scenarios. I'm
sure they will be more than adequate but I'd welcome any feedback. Also any
suggestions for SCOM hardware?
Also does anybody have any useful information they could share on their
deployments?
Thank you in advance
Lee
