CONFIGURATION MANAGER HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

The software prerequisites for each product in the System Center 2012 R2 suite are varied. In
most cases, any roles or features that are already included with the host operating system will
be installed automatically as part of the product's installation routine, and do not need to be
installed prior to commencing installation.
Some products in the System Center 2012 R2 suite can only be installed on computers
running Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and are not supported on computers running Windows
Server 2008 R2.
A minimum of four separate computers are required if you want to deploy all products in
the System Center 2012 R2 suite. This is because some products cannot coexist on the same
computer as others. In production environments, Microsoft generally advises that each Sys-
tem Center 2012 R2 element be deployed on a separate computer.
