SCCM 2012 R2 SP1 – How to do a fresh install

As you know, Microsoft released System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager SP1 and System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SP2  (SCCM 2012) in the same time. You can read more here.

This release can be confusing for some people because 2012 SP2 and 2012 R2 SP1 binaries are the same. The same .exe or .iso file.

  • SC2012_R2_SP1_Configmgr.exe (1,10 MB)
