Migrate SCCM 2012 server

I have a working Primary SCCM 2012 SP1 server in my environment. Now company has aquired another company which is in another domain and forest. We are in the process of migrating them to our domain.
Problem is another company already has an SCCM 2012 server with 300 client and they want to join that server to our existing SCCM 2012 primary server and they want to manage the patches and OSD through it.
Can someone please guide how can we add their server to our primary server and where can we give them access to manage their environment

Nothing to guide, what they want is not possible: not only can you not change the domain membership of COnfigMgr site server/system but you cannot join a primary to another primary in 2012. It also makes no sense, that's what RBA is for in ConfigMgr 2012.

Migrate SCCM 2012 SP1 VM to another different host VM

1. I have a server name BACKOFFICE is has way too much work load including SCCM 2012.
2. I created a new VM called SCCMSERVER, I want to migrate SCCM 2012 off BACKOFFICE VM to the new SCCMSERVER VM.
3. BACKOFFICE still remain in production as other programs & services are running, just need to get rid of the SCCM server task.
What is the best practice for this task?
Thank you very much for your help!

Hi,
1. if you change the name of your server you'll have to change sitecode also and therefore you'll also have to change the Database name so your old database won't be useful.
SQL License is included with SCCM 2012 as long as you use Standard Edition i guess (someone correct me if i'm wrong)
2. The tool is integrated with SCCM 2012.
You can run the migration jobs to retrieve data from your old CM2012 SP1 to your new environment.

Why is it not possible to move a SCCM 2012 Server to a new Domain?

Hello everybody,
I know it is not supported to move a SCCM 2012 Server to a new Domain. But I am still missing why it is not supported or possible....
I could not find anything that explained it in detail on the forums/internet. So when the question comes up in front of a customer it is always better to have a good argumentation...Can somebody describe the reasons why??
Thank you very much in advance!

Have them call CSS then.
It's ultimately the result of the design of the product but not an explicit decision. To my knowledge, it relies on the domain name for certain things and this is explicitly embedded with no defined way to change this. Could it be changed? Probably.
But, that would take a lot of work and effort and is not something Microsoft has ever invested any time in.
The grass is green and the sky is blue. Knowing why doesn't change these.

How to find using SQL query application deployed on win 7 machines with SCCM 2012 server or user installed manually.

Hi,
how to find using SCCM SQL query, application deployed on win 7 machines with SCCM 2012 server or user/technician installed manually. Please let me know.

Thanks, is it not possible via any script also?
Like Torsten said, how can you tell the difference between CM12 installed applications and locally installed? Once you can answer that, then you can write report.

Unable to reinstall WSUS on SCCM 2012 Server

I'm trying to reinstall WSUS on my SCCM 2012 Server after having removed the SUP role from SCCM and then following
these steps to remove WSUS from the server. However I am not able to reinstall WSUS. I also tried all of the steps outlined
here but no luck. Here are the results from the WSUSSSetup.log:

I am at a loss, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Perhaps I can try installing SQL express and use that as my database rather than WID, since the problem appears to be with WID installation?

Another question then - is it okay to have WSUS reside on the same server as SCCM, but without using SCCM SUP role to manage updates?
I would strongly discourage it. If you're using a single Configuration Manager instance, then most notably ConfigMgr installs an SSL-enabled Management Point website which has been known to interfere with a non-SSL standalone WSUS server.
But perhaps more importantly, looking for the long term, if at some point you determined you wanted to enable a Software Update Point, you'd be backed into the corner with your standalone WSUS already installed on the Site Server.
Converting an in-use WSUS Server to a SUP is fraught with complications, the least of which is being without a patch management environment for some period of time whilst you "convert" from standalone WSUS to ConfigMgr Software Updates.

How to reduce configuration cache file Quota size located in ( C:\Windows\ccmcache ) for all client from SCCM 2012 server

How to reduce configuration cache file Quota size located in ( C:\Windows\ccmcache ) for all client from SCCM 2012 server
Thanks in Advance
NTRao

Hi,
There are numerous ways to change the cache size.
You could deploy a vbscript to a collection of the devices.
On Error Resume Next
Dim UIResManager
Dim Cache
Dim CacheSize
CacheSize=20000
Set UIResManager = createobject("UIResource.UIResourceMgr")
Set Cache=UIResManager.GetCacheInfo()
Cache.TotalSize=CacheSize
Or you could use a configuration item.
http://blog.coretech.dk/heh/configuration-items-and-baselines-using-scripts-powershell-example/
You can also use the right click tools by Now Micro on a collection, if all the servers are on this would be the easiest / quickest way.

Migrate SCCM 2012 to new server

I need to migrate our SCCM 2012 installation to a new server. Both the old and new servers will be up concurrently if necessary. What steps do I need to take to do this?
Also, I want to upgrade to SP1 at the same time. Can I install SP1 on the new box alongside my current RTM install and do the migration or do I have to do the upgrade as a completely separate step after migration is complete?
Thanks.

Backup ConfigMgr on the old server (using the built-in maintenance task or a SQL backup; keep in mind to backup ContentLib, sources for applications, drivers, wim files etc!). Shut down server. Install new server (same name + domain + partition layout).
Install ConfigMgr. Restore ConfigMgr backup. I don't know if it's supported to change the SP level at the same time. I would not recommend changing too much things simultaneously though.

SQL Editions and Migrating SCCM 2012 R2

Hey guys looking for a bit of info here...
We have an existing hierarchy of 1 CAS and 3 Primary sites, along with 13 secondary sites attached to 1 of the Primary Sites. I just learned that during the setup of these sites SQL 2012 Enterprise Evaluation Edition was used to install all the sites. Now the
Evaluation Edition on the CAS SQL server has expired... oops... Obviously I don't want to pay for Enterprise licenses if I don't need them, so I'm looking for a way to get to SQL Standard.
I have found some information about moving SCCM Sites to a new SQL server but am a bit nervous doing that from what I've read on how picky SCCM is with not changing SQL stuff. I have a guy here who is a bit of a SQL guru that feels like we should be able to
migrate to a new SQL database pretty smoothly, but I'm a tad skeptical since he doesn't know much, if anything, about SCCM.
My thought was to build a new hierarchy and use the built in migration feature of SCCM 2012 R2 to move data to the new hierarchy. Are there any caveats to the migration? Are there things that can't be transferred using a migration job? Will I have to re-install
all of our clients once we migrate?
Has anyone done this, or could anyone provide some insight on which route to pursue? I'm leaning more towards the migration since it's built into SCCM and it is meant to do that sort of thing, rather than trying to rip the SQL DB out from behind SCCM and trying
to connect it to a new instance.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Actually, your SQL guru is right. It's easy enough to do it underneath it all. Just stop all of the CM stuff before they rip and replace. Can't hurt to make sure you have a good SQL backup of your CM database on the CAS in a safe place
just before he starts, too. The main thing is to keep as much as you can in the exact same places, (although that isn't that big of deal either); but the fewer things you change the better; like tempdb or how your files for sql are laid out for your
CAS--don't move them about just because you're reinstalling SQL.
We did do that in CM07; moved from SQL ent to SQL Std because we didn't really need ent.
Worst case scenario, if CM doesn't wake up well post-reinstall, you have to run through Site Recovery / restore from your SQL backup (which you carefully remembered to take, right after shutting down SMS services but before the SQL guy started ripping out
the old eval version).
Standardize. Simplify. Automate.

Moving SCCM 2012 Server and DB to New Hardware

We're planning to move our SCCM 2012 SP1 installation to a new VM running Server 2012 R2. We're planning on keeping the same server name so the Site Backup and then restore looks like it will work for us. We'd also like to move the DB to a new, remote, SQL
2012 box. Does the DB need to be restored to a SQL box with the same name as well?

No sql does not need to be reinstalled on the same server but you might want to do it as a two step process. Move SQL then move the CM server.

Offline SCCM 2012 Server

OK I have SCCM 2012 R2 installed in a lab which is alowed internet access.
I have SCCM 2012 R2 installed in our live environment which does not have ANY internet access.
I run a sync in the lab which completes successfully and I can see a nice long list of updates in the SCCM console.
I copy WSUSContent folder from lab to live environment. (well I get it moved over, its a process)
I then run wsusutil and export copy the move the cab and log files over
I run import and it claims to have run successfully
However no updates are listed!! What step am I missing? Need halp asap PLEASE

You need to run the Sync from SCCM console manually. If still no updates, you need to check the log file wsyncmgr.log.

Migrate SCCM 2012 to a new server

Hi,
I have a server with some issues. It currently also hosts our certificate authority and AV along with SCCM.
Our setup is a single server with SCCM installed. (Central\Primary site) There are also 6 other satellite offices that host distribution points. The Database resides on a different server.
I have run up a new Windows 2008 R2 standard VM that I want to move SCCM over to and remove it from the current site.
I have found a lot of sections about migrations that simply mentioned backup, turn off the old server, name the new server the name thing. That wont work in our scenario as the old server as mentioned hosts other services and wont be turned off.
Any help or links to places would be great.
Cheers,
Zac Avramides

Hi John,
I have started the process. I have a new SQL instance I am moving the old SCCM database to so I can do a side by side migration.
Have an issue though.
During the site reset the log comes up with:
INFO: SQL Connection failed. Connection: SMS ACCESS, Type: Secure
The only person I have found with the same issue is
here. They are also trying to move from one SQL server to another. SPNs are not my strong suit so I don't suppose you know anything about confirming that the temporary server (Development Server) has correct SPNs configured for its SQL instance.
Cheers,
Zac Avramides

SCCM 2012 & Server 2012 Dedupe

I’ve come across
a problem
recently with SCCM2012 on a server using Win2012 Dedupe.
We have been using the dedupe functionality & found huge savings, however have since had problems crop up with importing drivers for OSD.
After some digging around, we found a forum post saying that SCCM doesn't support reparse points which are used by Server 2012 Dedupe.
I’ve been unable to track down any more concrete information about this so wondering if anyone had more information about this lack of support & what it affects within
SCCM2012? E.g. is it only driver imports affected (in which case we can just exclude the drivers folder from dedupe), or should other folders (or the entire content volume) not be deduped.
Also, would this still apply if hosting source files on a remote file share that is using dedupe?
Cheers!

I'm unable to browse that link, I get a "page not found or you don't have permissions" error.
Checking through the open items on the feedback page for ConfigMgrVNetxt i couldn't see it either.
Yes, I know this is an old post, but I’m trying to clean them up. Did you solve this problem, if so what was the solution? This blog post will help you find the right connect page.

Migrating SSIS 2012 Server to another Server Box

Hi guys,
So I've been tasked with moving our current 2012 SSIS Server to a new more powerful server which is going to be 2012 as well. What do I need to do to get this done? Is this something that's tough to do?

I guess that you have deployed the packages into the msdb database. if so you should export them from the source server and import into the new one. You can use powershell

My SCCM 2012 server is listed in the Windows updates local policy

On my end user computers Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Updates > Specify intranet Microsoft update service location
Does it specify your Primary Site server? YES
Endpoint Protection leverages the software update component of ConfigMgr for delivery of definitions. This local Windows Updates policy was created when you configured this component.
1. How do I disable this local Windows Updates policy in SCCM ? Thanks

The client will set these local policy settings if your Client Settings are set to manage software updates and you don't have a group policy in place.
If you do NOT want ConfigMgr to control updates, then you can go to Client Settings > Software Updates and change "Enable software updates on clients" to No.

Cross Forset Migration from sccm 2012 to sccm 2012RS

Hi all,<o:p></o:p>
We have a plan to migrate
sccm 2012 to sccm 2012 R2 on trusted forest (cross forest migration)<o:p></o:p>
Please share possibility...<o:p></o:p>
Thanks, Mariappan Shanmugavel

Possibility for what?
Migration only works from ConfigMgr 2007 SP2 or from the same version of ConfigMgr 2012 thus will not be able to migrate from 2012 to 2012 R2. You will need to upgrade your 2012 site to 2012 R2 first and then perform the migration. The TechNet docs clearly
show this: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg699364.aspx
ANd, as Torsten pointed out, if you are simply planning on moving the existing site server, that isn't supported and won't work either.
