Applies to: System Center Configuration Manager (Current Branch)
Administrators use the Configuration Manager console to manage the Configuration Manager environment. Each Configuration Manager console can connect to a central administration site (CAS) or to a primary site. You can't connect a Configuration Manager console to a secondary site.
The Configuration Manager console is always installed on the site server for the CAS or a primary site. To install the console separate from site server installation, run the standalone installer.
Prerequisites
- You have local Administrator rights on the target computer for the console.
- You have Read permissions to the location of the Configuration Manager console installation files.
Source paths
Decide which source path to use:
- ConsoleSetup folder on the site server:
<Configuration Manager site server installation path>ToolsConsoleSetup
When you install a site server, it copies the console installation files and supported language packs for the site to the ToolsConsoleSetup subfolder. Optionally, you can copy the ConsoleSetup folder to an alternate location to start the installation. When you update the site, it always keeps its local version up to date. - Configuration Manager installation media:
<Configuration Manager installation media>SMSSETUPBINI386
Installing the Configuration Manager console from the installation media always installs the English version. This behavior happens even if the site server supports different languages, or the target computer's OS is set to a different language.
When possible, start the console installer from the ConsoleSetup folder rather than from the source media.
Important
Don't install the console using the CD.Latest source files. It's an unsupported scenario, and may cause problems with the console installation. For more information, see The CD.Latest folder.
If you create a package for installing the console on other computers, make sure the package includes the following files:
- ConsoleSetup.exe
- AdminConsole.msi
- ConfigMgr.AC_Extension.i386.cab (starting in version 1902)
- ConfigMgr.AC_Extension.amd64.cab (starting in version 1902)
Use the Setup Wizard
- Browse to the source path, and open ConsoleSetup.exe.ImportantAlways install the console by using ConsoleSetup.exe. Although you can install the Configuration Manager console by running AdminConsole.msi, this method doesn't run prerequisites or dependency checks. The installation might not install correctly.
- In the wizard, select Next.
- On the Site Server page, enter the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the site server to which the Configuration Manager console connects.
- On the Installation Folder page, enter the installation folder for the Configuration Manager console. The folder path can't include trailing spaces or Unicode characters.
- On the Customer Experience Improvement Program page, select whether to join the Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP).NoteThe matrix screensaver download. Starting in Configuration Manager version 1802, the CEIP feature is removed from the product.
- On the Ready to Install page, select Install.
Install from a command prompt
Tip
Installing the Configuration Manager console from a command prompt always installs the English version. This behavior happens even if the target computer's OS is set to a different language. To install the Configuration Manager console in a language other than English, use the Setup Wizard.
ConsoleSetup.exe command-line options
/q
Installs the Configuration Manager console unattended. The EnableSQM, TargetDir, and DefaultSiteServerName options are required when you use this option.
/uninstall
Uninstalls the Configuration Manager console. Specify this option first when you use it with the /q option.
LangPackDir
Specifies the path to the folder that contains the language files. You can use Setup Downloader to download the language files. If you don't use this option, Setup looks for the language folder in the current folder. If the language folder isn't found, Setup continues to install English only. For more information, see Setup Downloader.
TargetDir
Specifies the installation folder to install the Configuration Manager console. This option is required when you use the /q option.
EnableSQM
Specifies whether to join the Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP). Use a value of 1 to join the CEIP, and a value of 0 to not join the program. This option is required when you use the /q option.
Important

Starting in Configuration Manager version 1802, the CEIP feature is removed from the product. Using the parameter will cause the install to fail.
DefaultSiteServerName
Specifies the FQDN of the site server to which the console connects when it opens. This option is required when you use the /q option.
Examples
Important
For version 1802 and later, don't include the EnableSQM parameter

ConsoleSetup.exe /q TargetDir='%ProgramFiles%ConfigMgr Console' DefaultSiteServerName=MyServer.Contoso.com
Silent install with language packs
ConsoleSetup.exe /q TargetDir='C:Program FilesConfigMgr Console' DefaultSiteServerName=MyServer.Contoso.com LangPackDir=C:DownloadsConfigMgr
