Use the Setup Wizard to install Configuration Manager sites
Applies to: Configuration Manager (current branch)
To install a new Configuration Manager site by using a guided user interface, use the Configuration Manager Setup Wizard (setup.exe). The wizard supports installing a primary site or central administration site (CAS). You also use the wizard to upgrade an evaluation installation of Configuration Manager to a fully licensed installation. When you don't want to use the wizard, you can instead use an installation script and run an unattended command-line installation.
Install a secondary site from within the Configuration Manager console. Secondary sites don't support a scripted command-line installation.
Before you install a site, be familiar with the details in the following articles:
- Design a hierarchy of sites
- Site and site system prerequisites
- Prepare to install sites
- Prerequisites for installing sites
- Assess server readiness with the Prerequisite Checker
- Release notes
