Ready the Data Center for an SBM Deployment

Overview

This chapter explains the tasks that must be performed to ready the data

center for a successful SBM deployment. It will provide enough information

for experienced Windows administrators to create a checklist of what they

need to do. However, detailed guidelines are beyond the scope of this docu-

ment. You should refer to Microsoft documentation for all such purposes.

Do note, however, that this guide includes several example solutions with

step-by-step instructions for completing these and other tasks related to

deploying these solutions.

Table 3-1 displays the tasks and the typical group who completes them (your

domain might be set up differently).

Note You might also need to set up your branch office infrastructure to provide

Quality of Service (QoS), and your WAN link to provide adequate bandwidth.

Chapter 2: “Design Considerations” helps you to plan for these requirements.
