Hi all,Wondered if you could shed some light on a problem I don’t seem to be able to resolve.BackgroundI have a hp microserver running vmware Esxi 6 and I have a Windows 2012 R2 server VM running as a domain controller, DNS, DHCP.I have another microserver running esxi 6 and it is running a VM with windows 2012 R2 which has SQL 2012 on it and I am trying to now install SCCM 1702 from fresh (no upgrade). This is joined to the same domain as the DC. I have followed a guide for configuring all the prereqs for SCCM so all went through ok.Summary of ProblemWhen going through the installation of 1702, all is ok until I get to prerequisite checks, I get a warning advising “Warning; The site server might be unable to publish to Active Directory. The computer account for the site server must have Full Control permissions to the System Management container in its Active Directory domain. You can ignore this warning if you have manually verified these permissions. For more information about your options to configure required permissions, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=233190.”Looking in the ConfigMgrPrereq log file, I see the below:INFO:CheckMachineAccountHasADAccess <computername>ERROR: Site server does not have create child permission on AD ‘System Management’WARN: Site server does not have delete child permission on AD ‘System Management’<computername>; Verify site server permissions to publish to Active Directory.; Warning; The site server might be unable to publish to Active Directory. The computer account for the site server must have Full Control permissions to the System Management container in its Active Directory domain. You can ignore this warning if you have manually verified these permissions. For more information about your options to configure required permissions, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=233190.I have checked ADSIEdit and ADUC and the System Management container has the SCCM computer name added with full control to the System Management object and everything under it but I’m still getting this error..Would anyone know how to resolve it? I’m hesitant to go ahead and install it until I get rid of these.I've moved my DC VM onto the same micro server as my SCCM VM for testing purposes and get the same warning messages so believe this rules out anything on vmware side of things. Everything I can find online just says ensure permissions are set on the System Management container which they are but i’m still getting the error… Many thanks for any help on this.

Thanks - will try that when it cools down here - just too hot to have my Vms running atm.... Kev

These images are in a test environment so I can get some practical experience with using SCCM and creating a image etc as if I would in real world. I figured i'd create a win 7 image in a VM and then use that to then be pushed out to my laptop, adding the drivers etc as required in the TS etc but first stage is the build a capture although i'm wondering whether to just build it directly in VM as i would do normally and then just capture it, whats best practice in industry for this or is it either way? personal choice? Shame i got to enter product key, was hoping eval would just run for 180 days... Kev

hmm doesn't appear to be on technet anymore from what i can tell.... dam....

I will see is MS have one as a 180 eval. Thanks Kevin

Hi, No, I am using the 180 day eval version downloaded from technet and told it to not enter a key. Kev

Hi All, New here and new to SCCM 2012 R2. I have a question.. so i've setup SCCM 2012 R2, all working ok so far that i can tell. I am using PXE to boot, it loads up fine, enter pswd, select the Build and capture task, that runs but even though I've select no product key, it stops during process and asks for key i choose, skip it continues all ok, captures the image but then it comes up asking for product key and for me to create a user account and name PC - how do i stop this? i was expecting it to just load to windows desktop? I think i've missed a step somewhere but not sure where... Thanks all Kev
