For example, do not simultaneously use Remote Assistance and remote control on the same client.

6 1.4 SQL Server SQL Server related requirements for Configuration Manager v.next: Configuration Manager v.next must run its own instance of SQL Server and it cannot be shared with other applications. Configuration Manager v.next has specific security requirements that might conflict with other applications if you use the same instance for other applications. The SQL Server used with Configuration Manager v.next requires at minimum, a 64-bit version of SQL Server 008. Any other SQL Server that is being used for database replication with Configuration Manager v.next also requires at minimum, a 64-bit version of SQL Server 008. SQL Server named instances are supported for all the different types of sites in Configuration Manager v.next (central administration site, primary site, secondary site). However, while default instances in SQL Server are automatically configured to use a static port of 1433, named instances default to using dynamic ports. Dynamic ports are not supported. When using named instances, you must use SQL Server Configuration Manager to reconfigure the named instance to use a static port of Additionally, each Configuration Manager v.next site requires its own instance of SQL Server, which cannot be co-located on the same computer with another instance of SQL Server that is also being used for Configuration Manager. For example, do not use a single computer that is running SQL Server for both the central administration site and a primary site. SQL Server 008 Express is supported on secondary sites. A default version of SQL Server 008 Express is installed during the setup process for a secondary site. SQL Server 008 R is not supported for Beta 1. SQL Server standard and integrated security is supported. The site server and SQL Server must reside in the same Active Directory domain. SQL Server instances must be configured for case-insensitive collation. 1.5 Supported Configurations The following configurations are not support with this beta version of Configuration Manager v.next: Multiple forests Multiple domains SQL Server clusters Network load balancing (NLB) site systems (management points and software update points) SQL Server replicas for the management point 1.6 Language

7 In Beta 1, only English site server is supported for your ConfigMgr v.next hierarchy and we only support migration from an English ConfigMgr 007 site. ConfigMgr client languages supported for Beta 1 are English and German.
