2007 - 2012 migration resources?

hey all,
i'm planning the migration of our SCCM 2007 SP2 server to 2012 R2, and was hoping to get some direction in terms of articles, documentation etc. that anyone could recommend for such a project (hardware/resource/configuration requirements for 2012 installation,
SQL database setup considerations, central/primary site planning, configuring client and distribution/management point setup, etc).
i get the sense that this is going to be a challenge, and want to make sure i'm following the proper steps to get 2012 up and running smoothly.
has anyone tackled this migration before? i'd appreciate any feedback others could give on the topic.
thanks!

SCCM 2007-2012 migration job

Hi,
We have an empty SCCM 2012 R2 environment (only testmachines in it).
Now I would like to migrate some first Windows 7 machines by pushing a SCCM 2012 client to it. Therefore first the collections and packages of SCCM 2007 should be migrated.
So I started an SCCM 2012 Collection migration job from SCCM 2007 to 2012:
1.Selected only the Windows 7 collections (only those should be migrated, not the XP ones)
2.selected software assigned to it (it comes from a DFS-share \\ourcompany\share
3.all with default values, except "Enable programs for deployment"
My questions:
1.It took only 10 minutes to complete (share is 100 GB) but I see now software is not distributed to distribution point.
=> Is that normal? Should I run distribute to distribution point for all packages are rerun migration job with differen values?
2.After step 1, I can now migrate a Windows 7 computer fro SCCM 2007 to 2012, right?
Everything looks fine to me. There is also the object migration but don't think I need it.Just want to doublecheck.
Please advise.

#1: that's default behavior. Packages are migrated, but not distributed to DPs automatically. That's up to you right now.
#2: yes, but that's independent from step #1. You can install the CM12 client to the clients anytime.

Hi,
it seems, putting RMS and MS in maintenance mode is not the best choice, old article from Cameron Fuller (2011, so this should mean: SCOM 2007):

New article on SCOM 2012:
http://windowspowered.wordpress.com/2011/09/09/management-server-maintenance-mode-in-scom-2012/
Excerpt: "The only thing you need to do, is make sure you never put more then 50% of your Management Servers into Maintenance Mode, because this makes your Resource Pool unusable."

Types of SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012 Migration

Hi all,
Can i know what are the different types of migration we can do from sccm 2007 to sccm 2012 ?
Thanks

Hi,
There are now in-place upgrade so the only option you have is side-by-side migration. Install the new Configuration Manager 2012 infrastructure and migrate you objects, client e.t.c to all the new CM 2012 site server.
Here is a link that will get you started:

SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012: migrate SOME items, TESTING ONLY(!)

Hi,
We have an SCCM 2007 environment in production with which we don't deploy any os-es. All other features: packages etc we do use, currently for Windows XP as well as Windows 7.
We've setup a SCCM 2012 environment in which we will deploy Windows 7. I'm not familiar with the possible migration concepts, therefore I thought of setting all items on SCCM 2012 manually (collections, applications) but why reinvent the weel? Therefore
I 'd like to know/test my options WITHOUT IMPACTING production (export, import? ...)
Please advise howto.
J.
Jan Hoedt

Hi,
You can migrate the collections, advertisement to SCCM 2012 or create them manually. Both are OK. I suggest you read the migration document first.

SQL Server 2012 Migration

We are planning to migrate our existing environment to SQL 2012.
Existing Environment:
SERVER1
OS: Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition
SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition
2 Node Active/Passive Clustering With Transactional Replication
Number of Databases -> 2 (80 gb each).
Now how to migrate above environment to SQL 2012 on Windows 2012?
After migrating how to implement Log-shipping in above enronmnment.

log shipping doesn't support automatic failover. It requires a manually effort to fix in such cases.
You need to share the log file location as a clustered resource which is part of the SQL Server cluster group so that its availble to secondary database.
Because of this problem its always recommended to use cluster with database mirroring. Refer the below article
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/c55e1bbd-5b6f-4961-8e69-3de9ef4fb75f/use-db-mirroring-or-log-shipping?forum=sqldisasterrecovery#1bb9926e-1b39-47ad-9fe9-351d0fbaaf9f
But this is not the case with replication, The replication will fail during the failover and start it's operation once its back online.
Refer the below articles for more information

Sccm 2012 migration and MDT

In our current environment we have sccm 2007 and MDT 2013 separate to deploy workstation OS images. We have MDT just referencing SCCM package ID's (package path on the DP) to install applications during the build process.
We are currently migrating to SCCM 2012 and because the DP folder structure has changed now - i.e. 'SCCMContentLib' can we still use MDT separately and reference the 'DataLib' directory in MDT or is the best option to fully integrate MDT in SCCM?

Exchange 2007 mailbox migration question

Hi, I'm using Exchange 2007 and had most of my mailboxes are currently on a single mail server. I recently built two new mail servers and used CCR. I have 7800+ mailboxes and was told that when I move the mailboxes from the old mail server to the new
mail server that this will create a huge amount of additional transaction logs that wouldn't be cleared out until the next backup. We do nightly backup and have 1 TB of free space on our log drive. I can't find anywhere that documents that moving mailboxes
from one mail server to another would create additional transaction logs. I could understand the existing transaction logs would follow the mailboxes to the new mail server, but I don't see where it would create new transaction logs? I'm planning on moving
only 200-300 mailboxes a night, so this wouldn't happen all at once.
Any clarification would be helpful.
         Thanks,
          Andrew

Agree with Cara on this and the transaction logs can be fairly hefty in size when migrating a bunch of data. One other option would be to;
1. do a backup of the associated stores/database right before migration.
2. then run on circular logging for those all databases within a storage group which will keep the logs in check
3. upon completion turn circular logging OFF, do a full backup and proceed along your way.
There is however some risk with using circular logging and you should read the articles below
http://exchangeserverpro.com/ems-enabledisable-exchange-server-2007-circular-logging/
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb331968%28v=exchg.80%29.aspx

http://blogs.technet.com/b/scottschnoll/archive/2011/06/27/circular-logging-and-mailbox-database-copies.aspx
Of course you could also keep things as they are and then monitor disk space and log volume during migration and as things rise Execute a Full backup to clear/truncate the logs. Technically its safer to do this then turn on circular logging but its
allot more resource intensive all the way around.   Another option would be to schedule several full backups during the migration process, i.e. every NN hours etc and then the backups will happen automatically and all should be well as long as the
backups complete before the disk runs out of space from log file generation

Hyper-V Server 2012 Migration Questions

Hello All,
This is my first post here, but I have used these forums many times for information. Sorry in advance for the long post.
I have a few questions regarding migration to Hyper-V server 2012 for my production environment. I have done quite a bit of reading, but I have a few direct questions and I would like to get some direct answers.
My current production environment consists of one PowerEdge 2900 with 2 Xeon X5460 Quad Core 3.16GHz CPUs, 24 GB of RAM and a RAID 10 consisting of 8, 500 GB HDDs for a total of 2TB of storage. I am currently running Server 2008 R2 Enterprise w/ GUI as the
Hyper-V host OS. I have 4 virtual machines all also running Server 2008 R2 Enterprise. The 4 virtual machines consist of 1 domain controller, 1 Exchange Server with Exchange 2010 Standard, 1 Server running SharePoint 2010 Enterprise and the remaining server
running IIS with FTP and HTTP.
The network topology is as follows….
Hopefully it is clear from my diagram that the Hyper-V host OS is connected to the same physical network as the domain, but is not a joined to the domain. I set it up this way because I had concerns about connectivity and manageability because the domain
controller is a guest VM. Also, the IIS server is on a completely different physical network independent of the domain.
What I would like to accomplish is the migration of the above environment to Hyper-V Server 2012 as is. I want to keep my existing guest VMs unchanged and running Server 2008 R2 for now as well as keep the existing network topology intact.
I have 3 additional servers in a separate test environment that would be able to serve as temporary storage or whatever is needed for the migration process.
Here are the two main things I would like to accomplish with this migration…
1. Make the transition from Server 2008 R2 to Hyper-V Server 2012 as a host OS.
2. Migrate virtual hard disks from .VHD to the new .VHDX format.
All that being said, I have finally come to my questions regarding this process.
First and foremost, I would obviously need to back up my current setup in case something goes horribly wrong during the migration. My question regarding the initial backup is would it be better to do a bare metal backup of the Hyper-V host or should I do
individual backups (bare-metal?) of the Guest VMs from within their operating systems?
Second, since I plan to use Hyper-V Server 2012, I will have to manage the host OS using the RSAT from a domain joined client running Windows 7 Professional. How much of a pain is it going to be to setup RSAT and manage the non-domain joined host from a
domain joined client? Is there a better way without using SCVMM or using Server 2012 w/ a GUI as the host OS?
Third, are there any concerns I should have, precautions I should take or procedures I need to do before, during or after the migration regarding the existing VMs and the new virtualized hardware environment on the same physical host?
Forth, should I use the trial version of SCVMM 2012 SP1 (or another previous version) to perform the migration? What should I be aware of using SCVMM for the migration and then discontinuing its use after the migration is complete and moving to management
using the RSAT?
Fifth, if I don’t use SCVMM for the migration, what is the best procedure for moving the VMs? Should I just copy the VHDs to a temporary storage location, install Hyper-V server 2012, copy the VHDs back, create new VMs and attach the VHDs or should I use
the export/import process?
Number six, when is the best time to migrate the VHDs to VHDX format and what would be the best method?
And finally, do I need to worry about USN rollback with a single domain controller? From my reading, this seems to be a point of disagreement. Some people say it could happen while others say it won’t. Is there any point during the migration process where
it could occur either during the copying of VHDs or from the switch to VHDX?
Again, sorry for the long post and thanks for staying with me this far. Any information would be much appreciated

1) As Jens said below with Windows Server 2012 you can simple copy the configuration files and VHDs from a 2008 R2 server to a 2012 server and import them - they one caveat to this is that any vlan configuration is lost and you have to simply re-create it.
Optionally you can also export the virtual machines from Windows Server 2008 R2 and then import them on Windows Server 2012.
2) Remote management in a workgroup does have some caveat's associated with it - take a look at
http://blogs.technet.com/b/jhoward/archive/2009/08/07/hvremote-refresh.aspx. Generally I would recommend joining the Hyper-V management operating system to the domain - not just because of these issues but for a number of other features to work properly
(see below)
3) I always recommend validating the hardware and environment after the installation before migrating critical workloads to it - testing networking, backup etc... to make sure they function as expected. Also ensure that you upgrade the integration
components in the VM's after the migration.
4) That is an option - though you might find you like SCVMM
5) Recreating VM's using existing VHD's has some issues for example the BIOS GUID changes, all of the NIC's are re-plug and played etc... When possible copying the configuration or using export is much better.
6) The sooner the better - VHDx has a number of significant advantages, you can do the migration using the Hyper-V manager UI (edit disk) or via powershell with Convert-VHD. Do keep in mind that during the conversation you need 2x the space (for the
original and the new VHDx).
7) In the past you could get into trouble if you for example snapshotted an AD virtual machine and than reverted it - taking one offline and then brining it back online was never a problem. In Windows Server 2012 we addressed this with a feature called
generation ID's.
Domain considerations... A few things to keep in mind regarding the choice to not domain join the Hyper-V server.
- You can't live migrate virtual machines
- You can't utilize Hyper-V over SMB
- Management is more difficult and less secure

Exchange Server 2007/2013 migration with ActiveSync users

Hi all
ongoing migration from 2007 to 2013 and have just one bugging questionmark...
ActiveSync users are currently connecting to as.company.com (exchange 2007 CAS, single site internet facing deployment).
do I need legacy hostname?
as per http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn130105%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx I do need because it states:
All client connections will be redirected, including Exchange ActiveSync, Outlook Web App, POP3, and IMAP4.
as per http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/TechEd/NorthAmerica/2013/OUC-B313 - slide #23, I do not need because 2013MBX will proxy to 2007 CAS.
I've found numerous "proxy connection" infos rather than "redirect connection" but I'm thinking that they are all referenced by that same slide :)
thnx in advance!

You can force "proxy connection" for ActiveSync by setting the AS URL to "null". Actually, this approach is recommended by some people to avoid redirection issues for iPhones.
Setting the AS URL to "legacy.company.com" (as recommended in MS docs) will result in redirection.

SCCM 2012 migrate server A to Server B.

Right now I have BACKOFFICE running Windows 2008 R2 server which has SCCM 2012 SP1 installed and is in production. I did a newly installed of another primary stand alone SCCM 2012 SP1 on SCCMSERVER running Windows 2012 R2. My question are
1. What is the best way to migrate all of BACKOFFICE ConfigMgr 2012 database or roles into the new SCCMSERVER. What tools or steps can I use to do this?
2. When can I safely uninstall ConfigMgr 2012 off BACKOFFICE ?
Thanks for your help,
Voev

The steps are the same. You set up a source hierarchy and then create migration jobs.
