When planning a Configuration Manager infrastructure, you want to look at your current network design. Collect as much information as you can about your current Configuration Manager 2007 infrastructure, your Active Directory, and your network design; this can help you make the right design decisions.
Think about the following when describing the network:
◆ Make a diagram of your network. The diagram must include the following: LAN and WAN infrastructure, network size per location, available bandwidth, network latency, and the use of firewalls.
◆ Do Configuration Manager clients need to connect to the Configuration Manager site from the Internet?
◆ Are you allowed to extend Active Directory with the Configuration Manager schema?
◆ Document your IPv4 and IPv6 number plan.
◆ Describe your Active Directory forest structure and possible Active Directory trusts.
◆ Describe your Active Directory organizational unit structure; where are your assets?
◆ Describe your security demands. Does Configuration Manager need to be configured to support HTTP or HTTPS intranet connections or both? Is a public key infrastructure available?
◆ Describe your servers and roles; if you want to manage your servers with Configuration Manager 2012, it’s good to define different maintenance windows per groups of servers.
◆ Do you already use Windows Server Update Services in your environment? Can it be replaced by Configuration Manager 2012?
