Primary Site Servers

A primary site server provides core functionality for Configuration Manager. This server manages Site Component Servers, provides an interface to manage systems, and manages data in the Site Database.

A Site Server must be part of an Active Directory domain. The maximum supported number of clients in a single site is 100,000. If the SQL Server is installed on the same server as the Site Server, then the maximum supported clients is 50,000. Each primary site supports a maximum of 250 secondary sites.
