    Hi Garth,

    Can you give me a few examples and stored proc names of what is executed? Is their a log file that has a list of changes/executions made by the Migration.

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712275.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

    To upgrade the distribution point, Configuration Manager uses the Source Site Access Account that is configured to gather data from the SMS Provider of the source site. Although this account requires only Read permission for site objects to gather data from the source site, it must also have Delete and Modify permission to the Site class to successfully remove the distribution point from the Configuration Manager 2007 site during the upgrade.

    Just found above statement when reading Prerequisites for migration. It appears that it needs execute permission for running stored procedure to delete DPs, perhaps below are related:

    • spDeleteAllMigrationDistributionPoints, 
    • spDeleteMigrationDistributionPoint, 
    • spDeleteMigrationDPAndBoundaryGroup.

    The log file to troubleshoot migration would be migmctrl.log.

    Hi Frank,

    Kind of what I was hoping it wouldn't be doing:), why would it need to delete existing DP's this maybe for DP site reassignment?

    Is there a log file of what it's exactly doing, a list of sp's its executing what I don't want it doing is making any deletions from the existing hierarchy or making any changes in the source hierarchy. I know it doesn't, other than the DP reassignment, need to confirm.

    Need the source site to be in running condition to mitigate any risks.

    Thanks,

    Michael

    migmctrl.log and smsprov.log would show what's happening. I cannot think of any deletions (except the one already mentioned) though.

    At the end of the day, it doesn't matter why or what is execute or queried. It is documented as a requirement. There will not be a list of queries or SP that are executed. Your Sec team will have to live with what is documented.
