I did a new installation of SCCM 2007 recently and thought I would share the combined hotfixes I install when doing this new installation. The installation was made on Windows 2008 R2, SQL Server 2008 R2 and Configuration Manager 2007 R3 was the version I installed. There are a lot of hotfixes which needs to be applied, the following hotfixes are the ones I install and I strongly recommend everyone who are installing SCCM to install:

I’ve tried install this hotfixes on W2K8 R2 + SCCM 2007 R3 and when I tried install (using msiexec /i in elevated command line) I’ve received message “This hotfix is not valid for this version of Configuration Manager 2007”).
Hi,
If you are using ICP1 or ICP2 then you must use the hotfix for ICP1 or ICP2 aswell. Could that be so?
