DB2 Version 9.7 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Installation of DB2 products using Microsoft Systems Center Configuration Manager (SCCM)

Starting with Version 9.7 Fix Pack 4, you can use SCCM to perform distributed installations of DB2® products. SCCM deploys operating systems, software applications, and software updates. To install a DB2 product by using SCCM, your system must be an English version of a Windows operating system, and the authorization ID for the LocalSystem account must be SYSTEM.

You can set up an installation from a central location using SCCM. This installation method is ideal if you want to roll out an installation based on the same setup on a large number of clients.

For details on how to use SCCM for distributed installation of DB2 products, see the SCCM documentation at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb735860.aspx.

If you were using Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS), see the Getting started documentation for SCCM http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb694263.aspx that contains details about upgrading from SMS to SCCM.
