Installation and first look at the new SCSM HTML5 Portal

Hi, today the Update Rollup 8 and the new System Center Service Manager Portal has been released.

Microsoft released a new and fresh HTML5 Version, without the need of Silverlight or SharePoint.

In this Article I want to take a look at the Setup and the look and feel of the new SCSM Portal.

The Portal will show up in a modern UI, Announcements, Caching and some customizations.

Setup

Download the Setup and Management Pack from here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49556

First, enable the IIS Role, if you are installing the Portal on a new Server.

The following Features need to be selected

• ASP.Net 4.5
• Basic Authentication
• Windows Authentication
• .Net Extensibility 4.5
• HTTP Activation (.NET Framework 4.5 Feature)

Following that, we can start our Setup and follow the Screen

 

 

 

I have chosen no SSL, just for my Sandbox environment

 

 

 

Now we are finished, Portal is up and running

To change some Settings, like Company Name or default language, open IIS, navigate to your Self Service Portal Application Setting and change the Values

 

Now, just a few more Screenshots
