Important: Configuration Manager current branch version 1706 is needed for any ConfigMgr environment using WUfB deferral policies. ConfigMgr client version 1702 will periodically delete all WUfB deferral policies, if configured. This could lead to unintended results. As you are probably aware.

Applies to: System Center Configuration Manager (Current Branch)

Administrators use the Configuration Manager console to manage the Configuration Manager environment. Each Configuration Manager console can connect to a central administration site (CAS) or to a primary site. You can't connect a Configuration Manager console to a secondary site.

The Configuration Manager console is always installed on the site server for the CAS or a primary site. To install the console separate from site server installation, run the standalone installer.

Prerequisites

  • You have local Administrator rights on the target computer for the console.

  • You have Read permissions to the location of the Configuration Manager console installation files.

Source paths

Decide which source path to use: Download revit 2016 student version.

  • ConsoleSetup folder on the site server: <Configuration Manager site server installation path>ToolsConsoleSetup

    When you install a site server, it copies the console installation files and supported language packs for the site to the ToolsConsoleSetup subfolder. Optionally, you can copy the ConsoleSetup folder to an alternate location to start the installation. When you update the site, it always keeps its local version up to date.

  • Configuration Manager installation media: <Configuration Manager installation media>SMSSETUPBINI386

    Installing the Configuration Manager console from the installation media always installs the English version. This behavior happens even if the site server supports different languages, or the target computer's OS is set to a different language.

When possible, start the console installer from the ConsoleSetup folder rather than from the source media.

Important

Don't install the console using the CD.Latest source files. It's an unsupported scenario, and may cause problems with the console installation. For more information, see The CD.Latest folder.

If you create a package for installing the console on other computers, make sure the package includes the following files:

  • ConsoleSetup.exe
  • AdminConsole.msi
  • ConfigMgr.AC_Extension.i386.cab (starting in version 1902)
  • ConfigMgr.AC_Extension.amd64.cab (starting in version 1902)

Use the Setup Wizard

  1. Browse to the source path, and open ConsoleSetup.exe.

    Important

    Always install the console by using ConsoleSetup.exe. Although you can install the Configuration Manager console by running AdminConsole.msi, this method doesn't run prerequisites or dependency checks. The installation might not install correctly.

  2. In the wizard, select Next.

  3. On the Site Server page, enter the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the site server to which the Configuration Manager console connects.

  4. On the Installation Folder page, enter the installation folder for the Configuration Manager console. The folder path can't include trailing spaces or Unicode characters.

  5. On the Customer Experience Improvement Program page, select whether to join the Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP).

    Note

    Starting in Configuration Manager version 1802, the CEIP feature is removed from the product.

  6. On the Ready to Install page, select Install.

Install from a command prompt

Tip

Installing the Configuration Manager console from a command prompt always installs the English version. This behavior happens even if the target computer's OS is set to a different language. To install the Configuration Manager console in a language other than English, use the Setup Wizard.

ConsoleSetup.exe command-line options

/q

Installs the Configuration Manager console unattended. The EnableSQM, TargetDir, and DefaultSiteServerName options are required when you use this option.

/uninstall

Uninstalls the Configuration Manager console. Specify this option first when you use it with the /q option.

LangPackDir

Specifies the path to the folder that contains the language files. You can use Setup Downloader to download the language files. If you don't use this option, Setup looks for the language folder in the current folder. If the language folder isn't found, Setup continues to install English only. For more information, see Setup Downloader.

TargetDir

Specifies the installation folder to install the Configuration Manager console. This option is required when you use the /q option.

EnableSQM

Specifies whether to join the Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP). Use a value of 1 to join the CEIP, and a value of 0 to not join the program. This option is required when you use the /q option.

Configuration Manager For Windows 10

Important

Starting in Configuration Manager version 1802, the CEIP feature is removed from the product. Using the parameter will cause the install to fail.

DefaultSiteServerName

Specifies the FQDN of the site server to which the console connects when it opens. This option is required when you use the /q option.

Examples

Important

For version 1802 and later, don't include the EnableSQM parameter

Silent install

ConsoleSetup.exe /q TargetDir='%ProgramFiles%ConfigMgr Console' DefaultSiteServerName=MyServer.Contoso.com

Silent install with language packs

ConsoleSetup.exe /q TargetDir='C:Program FilesConfigMgr Console' DefaultSiteServerName=MyServer.Contoso.com LangPackDir=C:DownloadsConfigMgr

Silent uninstall

ConsoleSetup.exe /uninstall /q
