Roadmap Migration from SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012

Hi Experts,
Can anyone please indicate high-level and detailed steps to migrate our SCCM 2007 infrastructure to SCCM 2012?
From your experience, what best practices should I follow?
Any links, docs, thoughts would be really appreciated
System Requirements for SCCM 2012?
Franki

Hi,
The documentation for SCCM 2012 is up on Technet
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682006.aspx
Questions related to SCCM 2012 should be placed at
http://connect.microsoft.com join the configuration Manager open beta and you can see all asked question and ask your own.

You could literally answer every single question about SCCM with this  answer.. Most people come here having actually already looked at many available resources and we still have questions. All you did was waste time typing this. Not sure how this ended
up getting the blue check mark. OP must be generous.

  • Client Migration from SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012 via GPO

    what
    installation properties i can use to migrate client from sccm 2007 to sccm 2012 via gpo?
    Thanks!!
    Atenciosamente Julio Araujo

    It all depends on your needs, I suggest that you look at this first :
    All properties can be set by using GPO, it's not different from push.

  • Migrating Clients from SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012 R2 via GPO

    Hello. 
    I can do the migration of customers from SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012 via GPO? 
    When I'm migrating customers from SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012 I have to keep the boundaries of SCCM 2007 or just the SCCM 2012?
    Atenciosamente Julio Araujo

    For migrating the clients you can use any client deployment method that's available (see for planning your strategy: (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712283.aspx).
    During the client migration I would also start with migrating your boundaries. The most important thing is that you have no overlapping boundaries for site assignment when you are using auto assignment.

  • Migrating Clients from SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012 R2 via SCCM 2007 PACKAGE

    I can migrate sccm clients from sccm 2007 to sccm 2012 using sccm 2007 package with sccm 2012 client?
    Thanks!
    Atenciosamente Julio Araujo

    Thanks for help me Peter and Torsten but this documentation says:
    "You cannot upgrade Configuration Manager 2007 clients to System Center 2012 Configuration Manager by using this method.
    In this scenario, use automatic client upgrade, which automatically creates and deploys a package that contains the latest version of the client."
    I Need migrate clients from sccm 2007 to sccm 2012 r2 and
    I thought ofcreate a package in sccm 2007 with a sccm 2012 client.

  • How to migrate the computers from SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012

    Hello,
    Could anyone tell me how to mirgrate the computers present in SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012.
    Does the "collection migration" job migrate the computers or devices present in the collection? I tried this but computers were not migrated.
    Should we again discover the computers in SCCM 2012?
    Thanks,
    SreehariG

    There is no migration job in CM12 that will migrate CM07 clients. You need to install CM12 agent on your CM07 client in order to migrate them. During the installation the existing CM07 client will be uninstalled. You can use any supported
    client deployment methods to migrate to your new CM12 environment. More information here:

  • Best practice for client migration from SMS 2003 to SCCM 2012 R2?

    Can anyone advise what the most recommended method is for migrating SMS 2003 clients (Windows 7) to SCCM 2012 R2?
    Options are:
    1. SMS package to deploy ccmclean.exe to uninstall SMS 2003 client. Deploy SCCM 2012 R2 client via SCCM console push.
    2. Simply push SCCM client from console installing over existing SMS 2003 client.
    I am finding some folks saying this is ok to do but others saying no it is not supported by Microsoft. Even if it appears to work I do not want to do it if it is not supported by Microsoft. Can anyone provide a definitive answer?
    3. Use a logon script or Group Policy preference to detect the SMS client and delete it using CCMclean and then install the SCCM client.
    Appreciate any feedback. Thank you.

    Hi,
    >>I am finding some folks saying this is ok to do but others saying no it is not supported by Microsoft. Even if it appears to work I do not want to do it if it is not supported by Microsoft. Can anyone provide a definitive answer?
    I haven't seen any official document records the option 2 method. There is only upgrading from SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012 directly.
    I think you could use a logon script or Group Policy preference to detect the SMS client and delete it using CCMclean.exe. Then use SCCM 2012 to discover these computers and push clients to them.

  • How to force site code discovery on all the clients, Migration SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012

    HI,
    I migrated SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012 SP1, but the clients does not update the New Site Code Automatically, if I click on Discovery option the client find the new site, but I need do this automatically because are too many clients.
    This registry key does not  exist on client computers.
    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SMS\MobileClient\GPRequestedSiteAssignmentCode
    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SMS\MobileClient\GPSiteAssignmentRetryInterval(Min)
    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SMS\MobileClient\GPSiteAssignmentRetryDuration(Hour)
    Any Help?
    Thanks.

    Hello ICH-CR,
    Thanks for writing to the SysCtr ConfigMgr forums.
    I think there are multiple solutions to this issue and you can choose whatever fits best to your scenario.
    1. While upgrading the clients from SCCM 2007 to  2012 you can assign the clients to your ConfigMgr 2012 site.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682060.aspx#BKMK_AutomaticAssignment
    You just need to ensure that you have a boundary group and boundaries. More details on
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/13694ac5-8f3b-42a9-8040-b23f21c79637#BMBK_CreateBoundaryGrp
    I would suggest the first method because if you create  another child site, you shouldn't have to reassign the clients back again. If that is unlikely then use the following script which is method no 2
    2.
    http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Change-sccm-configmgr-cf6e0327
    This is a VBSCRIPT and  can be ran from a network location using the PSEXC
    3. Here is a smaller script
    'Replace with your Site Code sSiteCode = "EnterNewSiteCode"
    sMachine
    = "."
    set oCCMNamespace
    = GetObject("winmgmts://"
    & sMachine & "/root/ccm")
    Set oInstance
    = oCCMNamespace.Get("SMS_Client")
    set oParams
    = oInstance.Methods_("SetAssignedSite").inParameters.SpawnInstance_()
    oParams.sSiteCode
    = sSiteCode
    oCCMNamespace.ExecMethod
    "SMS_Client",
    "SetAssignedSite",
    oParams
    You can use this script as a logon script .

  • 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: Failed Packages are reinstalled ??

    We're going to migrate SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012 (side by side).
    On SCCM 2007 we have (for example): Advertisement "ADV1" that execute program "Program1" of Package "Package1". (example....)
    What happend if a computer "PC1" is migrated to SCCM 2012 when execution result of "ADV1" on SCCM 2007 was failed ??
    1) If I migrate only "Package001" and create a new deployment "Deploy1" to launch program "Program1" of Package "Package1 , by default, "PC1" is going to execute "Deploy1". I known it...
    2) If I migrate "Package001" and "ADV1".....Will "PC1" execute "ADV1" on SCCM 2012 ???? This is my question
    Thanks

    Taken directly from Technet, Regards Damon.
    Will
    advertisements rerun after they are migrated?
    No. Clients that you upgrade from Configuration Manager 2007 will not rerun advertisements that you migrate. System Center 2012 Configuration Manager retains the Configuration
    Manager 2007 Package ID for packages you migrate and clients that upgrade retain their advertisement history.

  • SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012 Migration_Design

    Hi all,
    We are about to migrate from SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012.  How to map the Hierarchy
    Central site – CAS
    Primary – Primary
    Child Primary – Secondary or Primary
    Is that correct?

    Hi,
    Firstly, you could read through the document below to plan your hierarchy.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712681.aspx#BKMK_PlanHierarchy
    The following document contains information about the support limits at each site type and for client-facing site system role, and the number of clients (devices) that are supported by a Configuration Manager hierarchy.

  • Preloadpackageonsite.exe in sccm 2007 supports sccm 2012 also

    HI  I have big packages in sccm ,often seeing packages are having issues with replication to child site and DP
    Dsame preloadpackageonsite.exe in sccm 2007 supports sccm 2012 also .if supports can any one help to understand sccm 2012
    procedure to create package in child sites
    ankith

    Hi,
    No it does not support the new Content management in Configuration Manager 2012, but you can use a builtin tool instead. You export all the content you want to prestage from the console and then on all dp's the utility called extraccontent is placed during
    installatioin. Here is how it is done.

  • Removing Public Folders after migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013

    Recently we migrated from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013.  We did not migrate Public Folders and are retiring them from Exchange altogether.  I shut Exchange 2007 off for a couple of weeks to ensure 2013 functions properly and it does so we're
    ready to decommission Exchange 2007.  I was able to remove all the mailbox databases without a glitch.  Using the EMC I click to remove the Public Folder database from Exchange 2007 and get the following message:
    Error: The public folder database "server\storage group - Public Folders\ Public Folder Database" contains folder replicas.  Before deleting the public folder database, remove the folders or move the replicas to another public folder database.
    Any help appreciated.

    Hi Terry,
    If you run the following command does it come back with any public folders?
    Get-PublicFolderStatistics -Server "SERVERNAME" | fl
    If nothing comes back you can follow this guide to manually remove the public folder database (at your own risk) http://haythamalex.wordpress.com/2011/11/24/how-to-force-exchange-server-public-folder-removal/
    Cheers,
    Jack
    I get alot of output from that command.

  • Cross Forest Migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013

    Hi
    Could anybody advice me the steps also the  pros and cons for below mentioned environment if we are going for the cross forest migration.
    Source 
    Domain -   test.local
    Active Directory -  Windows 2003
    Exchange Server - 2007
    Target
    Domain -   test.net
    Active Directory -  Windows 2012
    Exchange Server - 2013
    Also if it is possible ,
    How could I remove the source environment including the exchange servers. after the migration ?
    Regards
    Muralee

    Hi Oliver ,
    Please suggest us.               
     In my environment we are in a plan to migrate from exchange 2007 to exchange 2013 (cross forest migration).
    Source : Exchange 2007 with sp3 ru 10 
    Target : Exchange 2013 with cu2 ( new environment yet to be created).
    Trust : Forest trust in place (two way )
    Domain and forest functional level : 2003 in both target and source  
    Migration Steps :
    Step1 :
    We are in a plan to execute 'preparemoverequest.ps1' first in the target forest ,so that we will get the disable MEU
    in the target forest.
    Step2:
    Then we are going to use ADMT to migrate users SID'S and password .
    Step3:
    Then we are going to move the mailboxes with New-moverequest  
    Please have a look in to our steps and suggest us ,whether we are going to proceed the migration in a right way or not
    .Is anything needs to be changed please intimate me .
    Thanks 
    S.Nithyanandham 
    Hey there,
    Sorry for taking a little while to get back to you, i've been busy working on Hosted Lync deployments!
    Use ADMT first, then when using preparemoverequest.ps1 script using the -uselocalobject cmdlet. This will then tie it up to the ADMT migrated account.

  • How to migrate from exchange 2007 to 2013 step by step tutorials please

    Hi
    I am running Windows Server 2008 standard, with exchange 2007 SP2 on it.
    We have 800 mailbox in total
    Our domain controllers are
     Win2012 R2 and I would like to upgrade to Exchange 2013 on Windows server 2012 R2.
    I am running a VM, on VMware environment, so my Windows 2012 R2 is a VM.
    Is there a website or document that explains in detail, step by step how to upgrade from 2007 to 2013.
    I currently only have 1 exchange server 2007, with all the roles on the one server.  I would like to keep that same as
    well with exchange 2013.
    Thanks

    Exchange server deployment assistant is always a good service provider to achieve this task as it simply ask few questions about your current environment and proceed further accordingly.
    You can refer to this blog explained by technet team that will assist you further to gather more information in depth : http://blogs.technet.com/b/meamcs/archive/2013/07/25/part-1-step-by-step-exchange-2007-to-2013-migration.aspx
    Moreover, to avoid the interruptions and proceed a hassle-free migration from exchange 2007 to 2013, this application (http://www.exchangemigrationtool.com/) could also be a good approach to accomplish
    migration task in more secure way.

  • ActiveSync stops working after migrating from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013

    We have started the migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013. We've followed best practices and everything is working great except ActiveSync. I've performed Exchange migrations in the past so this is nothing new for me. I've also been referring to
    a great guide which has been a big help,
    http://www.msexchange.org/articles-tutorials/exchange-server-2013/migration-deployment/planning-and-migrating-small-organization-exchange-2007-2013-part1.html.
    Once a user is migrated from Exchange 2007 to 2013, ActiveSync stops working properly. Email can be pulled to the device (Nokia Lumia 625 running Windows Phone 8) by performing a manual sync. But DirectPush is not working. The strange part is it's not affecting
    everyone who's been migrated. Anyone who is still on Exchange 2007 is not affected.
    At first I thought it was our wildcard certificate. 99% of our users are running Outlook 2013 on Windows 7 or higher but we do have a few terminal servers still running Outlook 2010. Outlook 2010 was giving us certificate errors. I realized it was the wildcard
    certificate. Rather than making changes to the OutlookProvider I simply obtained a new SAN certificate. Although that resolved the issues for Outlook 2010 users, ActiveSync was still a problem.
    Rebooting the phones and removing the email account from the user's device and re-adding it didn't resolve the issue either.
    Then I performed an iisreset on the CAS server. This didn't help either. I didn't know it at the time, but I was getting closer...
    I tried using the cmdlet Test-ActiveSyncConnectivity but it gave me the following error:
    WARNING: Test user 'extest_0d9a45b025374' isn't accessible, so this cmdlet won't be able to test Client Access server
    connectivity.
    Could not find or sign in with user DOMAIN.com\extest_0d9a45b025374. If this task is being run without
    credentials, sign in as a Domain Administrator, and then run Scripts\new-TestCasConnectivityUser.ps1 to verify that
    the user exists on Mailbox server EX02.DOMAIN.COM
    I started reviewing how Exchange 2013 proxied information from the CAS to the mailbox server and realized the issue may in fact be on the mailbox server.
    I performed an iisreset on the mailbox server and all of a sudden ActiveSync started working again. Awesome!
    I can't explain why. The only thing I can assume is when some users were migrated from 2007 to 2013 something wasn't being triggered on the Exchange 2013 side. Resetting IIS resolved the issue. I guess I'll have to do an IIS reset after I perform a batch
    of migrations. Disabling ActiveSync and re-enabling it for the affected users didn't help - only the IISRESET resolved the issue.
    If anyone has any information as to why this happens, please chime in. Also, if anyone knows why I can't run the Test-ActiveSyncConnectivity cmdlet, I'd appreciate the help.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    In Exchange 2013, the Public Folder is changed to Public Folder mailbox instead of Public Folder in Exchange 2007 database.
    Due to the changes in how public folders are stored, legacy Exchange mailboxes are unable to access the public folder hierarchy on Exchange 2013 servers. However, user mailboxes on Exchange 2013 servers or Exchange Online can connect to legacy
    public folders. Exchange 2013 public folders and legacy public folders can’t exist in your Exchange organization simultaneously. This effectively means that
    there’s no coexistence between versions.
    For this reason, it’s recommended that prior to migrating your public folders, you should
    first migrate your all legacy mailboxes to Exchange 2013. For more information about migrating public folder from previous versions, please refer to:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj150486(v=exchg.150).aspx

  • Migrating from Exchange 2007 to exchange 2013 ( special case )

    Hello , 
    what is the BEST scenario ( fastest , most efficient , most secure in terms of data loss )  , to migrate from exchange 2007 ( one server , all exchange roles installed on this server , 1200 mailbox ) , to exchange 2013 ? 
    knowing my environment needs to be connected to their mailboxes , 24/7 ! 
    it's very frustrating . 
    and i have no clue even if this is the right place to post about this , if not please refer me as to where to post . 
    Also , All my domain controllers are 2008 .

    It's fine to post your question here, and you are fine with Server 2008 Domain Controllers - that is a supported scenario.
    If you haven't performed such an upgrade and you need to have 24/7 mailbox availability, I would seriously recommend you to duplicate the production environment on a test network and run through the upgrade at least once.
    Most people neglect the Outlook clients requirements - they need to be updated and include several specific updates, which allow the automatic reconfiguration of internal clients. If you are preparing for this upgrade, you should be aware that all internal
    Outlook clients switch to Outlook Anywhere. Clients that miss these updates will get connectivity problems.
    Another common problem is the configuration of the Exchange URL - I mean the Exchange 2013 URL and the modified Exchange 2007 URL that will allow the co-existence. In your case, you definitely need to plan for co-existence - that includes requesting and
    installing a new Exchange UCC (Multiple Domain Certificate) on both Exchange servers, configuring Split DNS (or preferably PinPoint DNS zones), and correct timing when replacing the existing Certificate on the Exchange 2007 server. Failure to configure the
    correct URL (and it's quite easy to miss one, so triple check them) will get you in trouble.
    Once you get through the switchover (switching the mail flow and Client Access through the Exchange 2013 server), move just a couple of test mailboxes and check the result.
    Finally, if you are moving the Public Folders, make sure that the lock is really applied before you complete the process. Most people proceed right away and that get's the process stuck. If you can afford it (the mailboxes are already on the Exchange 2013
    server at that point), just restart the Exchange 2007 server (after locking the Public Folders) and then complete the Public Folder migration.
    Good Luck with the project!
