Configuring Infrastructure for MDM Deployment

2/9/2009

Before you deploy System Center Mobile Device Manager, follow the steps in this section to configure the infrastructure for your organization correctly. Use the checklists provided in MDM Planning and Deployment Checklists to make sure that you complete each task and meet each requirement for a successful deployment.

Note

You can use MDM Best Practices Analyzer Tool to analyze a group of servers to determine if prerequisites for deploying MDM 2008 SP1 are met. You can also use the tool to analyze servers post-deployment to verify things such as port settings. To download the tool, see MDM Best Practices Analyzer Tool at this Microsoft Web page: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=127030.

As you configure your company infrastructure environment to deploy MDM, use the worksheets provided in MDM Deployment Worksheets to compile information such as IP addresses, server names, and port configurations.

Note

The requirements for your MDM deployment depend on the topology that you plan for your organization. To plan for and learn best practices for different topologies, see MDM System Topologies and MDM Multiple Instance Topologies.
