After you install Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007, you must configure the new site. You begin the site configuration process by defining site characteristics and configuring site systems at a single site. After completing basic site system configuration, you must prepare the site to manage clients and additional feature installation and configuration. After installing primary sites, there are some mandatory tasks, and others which are optional.
