Setup Prerequisite Checks
The Configuration Manager 2007 setup prerequisite check helps you determine what you have to do in order to prepare your environment to install or upgrade a Configuration Manager 2007 primary site, secondary site, or Configuration Manager console. The prerequisite checker notifies you of any warnings or errors encountered that would cause setup or an upgrade to fail. Tests that result in a warning do not prevent you from successfully upgrading to Configuration Manager 2007. However, it is recommended that you resolve the condition that generated the warning before continuing the setup or upgrade process. Tests that result in an error do prevent you from continuing the setup or upgrade process. You must resolve the condition that generated the error before continuing Configuration Manager 2007 Setup.
