The Central Administration Site (CAS) is the top-level site in a Configuration Manager hierarchy and is the recommended location for all administration and reporting for a Configuration Manager 2012 hierarchy. It has limited site roles available, has no clients assigned, and doesn’t process client data.
The CAS supports only primary sites as child sites. When you are using two or more primary sites, a CAS is always the first site you need to install. A primary site that is installed before implementing a CAS cannot be attached to the CAS. A SQL server is needed for data that is gathered from the hierarchy. The data includes such information as inventory data and status messages from the hierarchy. You can configure the discovery of objects in the hierarchy from the CAS by assigning discovery methods to run in individual sites in the hierarchy. The following site roles can be configured for Central Administration Sites:
◆ System health validator point
◆ Software update point
◆ Asset Intelligence synchronization point
◆ Reporting Services point
◆ Endpoint Protection point
◆ Certificate Registration point
◆ Windows Intune connector
A Central Administration Site can support up to 25 child primary sites.
