Hey All !!
As we all know that With SCCM 2012 SP1 , we can add a Central Site on top of a Stand Alone Primary Site . Well !! Well !! This was not there in SCCM 2012 Without SP1 :-)

1. We have a SCCM Stand Alone Primary Site .
2. We will be Adding a Central Site ( Installing it First ) to this Stand Alone Primary Site .
Let us First have a look at the Primary Site and See if it actually is a Stand Alone Primary Site :

One Important thing : If you go to temp file while installing SCCM , you will see configmgrautosave file there . This file Actually has the tasks that are to be done and the way you want to do it . If you want your Installation to be scheduled with some of parameters , then you may give them in the INi file and have your installation as zero touch .
