About Configuration Manager Client Installation & Properties
Use the Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 CCMSetup.exe command to manually install the Configuration Manager 2007 client software on computers in your enterprise.

CCMSetup downloads all the necessary files to complete the client installation from a specified management point or from a specified source location. These files can include the following:
  • The executable client.msi that installs the Configuration Manager 2007 client software.
  • Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) installation files (if required).
  • Windows Installer installation files (if required).
  • Patches and fixes for the Configuration Manager 2007 client (if required).
CCMSetup.exe and its supporting files are located on the Configuration Manager 2007 site server in the Client folder of the Configuration Manager 2007 installation folder. This folder is shared to the network as <Site Server Name>\SMS_<Site Code>\Client.

The format of the CCMSetup.exe command line is as follows:

CCMSetup.exe     [Ccmsetup properties] [client.msi setup properties]

For example, CCMSetup.exe /mp:SMSMP01 /logon SMSSITECODE=S01 FSP=SMSFSP01 

 Performs the following actions:
  • Specifies to download installation files from the management point   named SMSMP01.
  • Specifies that installation should stop if a version of the Configuration Manager 2007 or SMS 2003 client already exists on the computer.
  • Instructs client.msi to assign the client to the site code S01.
  • Instructs client.msi to use the fallback status point named SMSFP01.
