We can
install Console from the SCCM 2012 installation Setup wizard or by using the
stand alone tool - Consolesetup.exe

the options

or
2. in
case if we miss to enable the above checkbox or if we need to install console
in other PC’s then we have can use stand-alone tool called consolesetup.exe.
Prior
to Console Installation make sure you have admin right on the
computer and .net framework 4 is installed.
We can
find stand-alone tool called consolesetup.exe in 2 locations
(1)
From SCCM 2012 installation media files - ConfigMgrSourceFiles>\smssetup\bin\I386
(2)
From the site server -
\tools\ConsoleSetup
Copy
2 files - AdminConsole.MSI file and ConsoleSetup.exe from any of the above
mentioned location to local system (as shown below I coped it to folder
D:\consolesetup).We can trigger the installation from any of the above file
either exe or msi but I noticed ConsoleSetup.exe is better option because it
created console installation log file in the location C:\ by default.
Let’s
start the installation using consolesetup.exe.
There
are many switches that can be used for unattended installation. For more
