OK, so here is what I had to do to get it working (as much as I do not understand it!)
OLD_SCCM_SERVER = site SP1 (2012 R2)
NEW_SCCM_SERVER = site BG1 (CM 1602)
_mssms_mp_??? (Service Location SRV) exists in DNS for BOTH sites MPs
On exiting client assigned to site SP1 I change the assignments via vbs to BG1
That does not register client with BG1 & locationservices.log shows error:
Refreshed security settings over AD
No security settings update detected.
Attempting to retrieve lookup MP(s) from AD

LSUpdateInternetManagementPoints: No internet MPs were retrieved from MP OLD_SCCM_SERVER.domain.local, clearing previous list.
There is no AMP for site code 'BG1'.
LsRefreshManagementPointEx failed with 0x8000ffff
Why does it want to communicate with MP from OLD_SCCM server?
So in local hosts file I make entry
NEW_SCCM_SERVER_IP OLD_SCCM_SERVER.domain.local
Restart SMS Agent & instantly I get in locationservices.log
The MP name retrieved is 'NEW_SCCM_SERVER.domain.local' with version '8355' and capabilities '<Capabilities SchemaVersion="1.0"><Property Name="SSL" Version="1"/><Property Name="SSLState" Value="63"/></Capabilities>'
MP 'NEW_SCCM_SERVER.domain.local' is compatible

and the client registers with NEW_SERVER straight away
Could anybody have any explanation?
I did NOT uninstall client, just changed site assignment with vbs & "cheated" in hosts file
As soon as client registers with new site I can remove the entry in hosts file
Kind of similar issue is described
