System RequirementsSystem Center Configuration Manager 2007 Requirements:For the hardware and software requirements necessary to implement and maintain Microsoft® System Center Configuration Manager 2007 (Configuration Manager) in your environment, refer to: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680717.aspx#SiteServerSystemRequirements Quest Software maintains the same requirements. You can only use mixed mode. Quest Management Xtensions - Configuration Manager 2007 Edition (QMX for Configuration Manager) does not support native mode. You must select "Allow clients to connect anonymously (Required for mobile device clients)" on the ConfigMgr distribution point Properties dialog. Navigate to Site Management/<site-code> - <site-name>/Site Settings/Site Systems/<Distribution point server> and double click "ConfigMgr distribution point" to open the Properties dialog. Before you introduce QMX for Configuration Manager to your environment, ensure that Configuration Manager is installed and working properly. Install at least one Windows client in the Configuration Manager Console and verify that it is fully functional.

Note1: Files in /var will grow as new policy is downloaded and data is collected, and so forth. Quest recommends that you allocate sufficient space to the /var filesystem to assure enough space to store package files during software distribution. Note2: You can choose /tmp or another directory of your choice for temporary files. Temporary Space is only used when the Agent Installation Wizard installs QMX - Configuration Manager 2007 on the target client machines. Note3: The AS, ES and WS variants provided by prior releases of Red Hat Enterprise Linux are not available for version 5. Replacements for all these products are provided with version 5. (see http://www.redhat.com/rhel/ for more information.) Note4: QMX - Configuration Manager 2007 2.0 supports running inside any VMware virtual machine guest operating system that is one of the QMX - Configuration Manager 2007 supported operating systems. See the QMX for Configuration Manager Administrator´s Guide for information regarding limitations to running Hardware Inventory in a virtual environment. Patch-level Requirements:Before you begin the installation make sure that you have the latest patches for your operating system version. The following is a list of required patch levels: AIX 5.1: Patch Level 9 HP-UX: Patch PHSS_35379 HP-UX: Patch PHCO_35732 Solaris 8: Patch 110934-05 and 110380-04 Solaris 9 SPARC: Patch 117480 and 113713-04 Solaris 9 x86: Patch 114568-24 Solaris 10: Patch 120664
Quest recommends that you keep each platform up to date with the recommended patch set for that platform. Remote Tools:You must have an X Server running in order to launch some X-based tools. A Windows-based X Server enables the UI to show the Unix tools on your Windows desktop. Some choices might be StarNet X-Win32 X Window Server, a platform-independent, network-transparent windowing system that provides a client/server interface between display hardware and the desktop environments. Or, you might use Cygwin/XFree86, an open-source implementation of the X Window system. There is also a WRQ Reflection product. However, Quest cannot provide support for any of these third-party products. Note: If you don't see the OS you are interested in above, click here. Getting Started
