SCCM 2012 SP1 to SCCM 2012 R2 - Side by Side

Question

Sign in to vote

Hi Friends,

Currently our SCCM infrastructure is running with a CAS site, 2 Primary Sites and 8 Secondary sites with SCCM 2012 SP1. Now we want to update this infrastructure from SCCM 2012 SP1 to 2012 R2. But we want remove CAS site and to keep only single Primary Site.

Can this be done in Side by Side migration from SCCM 2012 SP1 to SCCM 2012 R2 ? If yes then please suggest how to migrate all data (Packages/Clients) from SCCM 2012 SP1 to new infra on SCCM 2012 R2.

Thanks in advance.

You don't have many (supported) options here. Detaching a site is not possible, so indeed your only option left is to migrate. Problem here is that the supported scenario is from a ConfigMgr 2012 R2 site to a ConfigMgr 2012 R2 site (see: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682006.aspx). That means you should first upgrade your old environment before you can start with your migration.

Yep, it'll be a migration and then upgrade or an upgrade then migration. Not sure which I'd opt for.

Side by Side migration from SCCM 2012 SP1 to SCCM 2012 R2 is not officially supported but it does work (so far I haven't seen any problems).

It's part of the migration toolset -- it will do it for you.
