    I have a bit of confusion on how many servers I need to migrate from SCCM 2007 to 2012. I read many articles about upgrading the primary site side by side and the two DP servers I am using now. I am confused about SCOM, FSP and the 2003 Forefront Server. All other server are currently 2008R2. 

    So my question, will I have to keep the Forefront and SCOM server or do these get integrated into the SCCM 2012 server?

    Forefront Server has been discontinued and replaced by System Center Endpoint Protection Protection (SCEP). This is a ConfigMgr role now. SCOM is unrelated. You maintain that separately.

    Thanks Gerry,

    So when I upgrade from 2007 to SCCM 2012 I can shut down the old forefront server because it is a new role in SCCM 2012?

    as for SCOM I need to keep that server or build a new one?

    1. Yes. You will not need Forefront. Note that SCEP will have a different client.

    2. You can do what you like with SCOM. Keep the current server or upgrade. This is not related to ConfigMgr.

    thank you,

    So I can by pass Forefront Endpoint Protection and go directly to SCEP?

    I better get reading the documentation on that one.
