SCCM lab architecture


Create a resource group in Azure

Create a virtual network

Create 4 virtual machines


The reason I chose Azure is that it has a one-year-free plan and also any new user can get one-month-valid $200 credit for free to use its resources. It's a good chance to get hands on Azure.

Create a resource group

A Domain (domain controller and DNS server)

A Database (SQL Server)

An MECPMS (SCCM primary site server, now SCCM is called MECM - Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager)

A Windows 10 Client

All these machines will have 2 IPs for each: a public IP, and a private IP

Azure portal address: Microsoft Azure


Resource group 1

Resource group 2

Resource group 3

Resource group 4


Create a virtual network

Virtual network 1

Virtual network 2

Virtual network 3

Virtual network 4

Virtual network 5


Create 4 virtual machines

Virtual machine 1

Virtual machine 2

Virtual machine 3


For virtual machines, I choose static public IP address so that I can remote to them from my PC:

Virtual machine 4

Virtual machine 5

Virtual machine 6

Virtual machine 7

Virtual machine 8

Virtual machine 9

Virtual machine 10


Stop all the virtual machines when they're not needed so that the fee won't be deducted, even if it's free credit:
