Errors/Warnings:
In the first install i SQL Server Collation Error. This is due to not setting the SQL Server Collation to the correct name from the default during SQL install. I had to run a command to rebuild the db:
Mount SQL ISO
Setup.exe /QUIET /ACTION=REBUILDDATABASE /SQLCOLLATION=SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS /INSTANCENAME=SCCM /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS=BUILTIN\Administrators

After this I could not login to the db instance via SQL Management Studio. I got the following error:
Login failed for user Error 18456

I got around this by running the Management Studio App itself as Admin then I could log in ok.

Notes:
SP2 supports 150k devices for standalone primary
setup at least 1 management point for every 25k clients
Need to have 64bit,
Site System server WS2012 Core os not supported as no pxe, multicast support
– exception the core os is supported for distribution point site system role, w/o PXE or multicast support.
After a site system server installed cannot change domain name, domain membership, name of computer
to change these first remove site system role then reinstall roles after change complete. if this affects site server computer uninstall the site and then reinstall site after change complete
Important: cannot change startup type or log on as for sccm services, this will prevent key services from running
Prereqs: .net 4,4.5,4.5.1 expired so use 4.5.2 instead actually test with latest 4.7.1 (inc in fall creators update)
