The prerequisite checker program is run automatically during Configuration Manager 2007 Setup Wizard site installations. It can be run stand-alone from either the Configuration Manager 2007 Setup autorun screen, during a scripted installation or from a command prompt.
Starting the Prerequisite Checker From the Autorun Screen
You can start the prerequisite checker from the Configuration Manager 2007 Setup autorun screen by clicking the Start prerequisite checker option. When this option is selected, you can configure the prerequisite checker to check prerequisites that only apply to your specific setup scenario by selecting Primary site, Secondary site, Administrator console or Upgrade. When Primary site is selected, you can also enter the name of the remote SQL Server to host the site database and management point computer (if applicable). You can also check all secondary sites below a primary site for Configuration Manager 2007 Setup prerequisites by selecting the All Secondary sites option.
