Migration SCCM 2007 >> 2012 - Upgrade Secondary site options?

Question
-
I'm starting to plan our SCCM migration from 2007 >> 2012 and have a question about secondary sites.
Our current global SCCM 2007 hierarchy consists of 3 primary servers and 5 secondary servers.
Thus, my question is if it's possible to perform an in-place upgrade of a Config Mgr 2007 secondary site to a Config Mgr 2012 secondary site?
In the FAQ here, it says you can do an in-place upgrade of a 2007 secondary to a 2012 DP, but no mention of 2007 secondary >> 2012 secondary...

You can perform an in-place upgrade of a Configuration Manager 2007 secondary site to a System Center 2012 Configuration Manager distribution point. During the upgrade, all migrated content is preserved.

Hi,
There is no way to migrate a secondary site in SCCM 2007 to a secondary site in SCCM 2012, you would have to deploy a new site in SCCM 2012. so your conclusion is correct. It is only possible to migrate a Secondary Site i SCCM 2007 -> DP in SCCM 2012.

"Secondary sites can no longer be installed from the SCCM setup. They must be installed from the console. These are the available options presented by setup"
"If you need to control SCCM traffic from a site server to another location, you can now use the SCCM 2012 distribution point, which includes throttling and scheduling features. You would only need a secondary site if you also need to control traffic sent from client systems to the site server, as the secondary site has a Management Point. The PXE server role is now part of the Distribution Point. Secondary sites and other system roles have to be manually uninstalled from the SCCM 2007 hierarchy and redeployed on the SCCM 2012 hierarchy."

Can you point me to a link where it explains the 2007 Secondary Site to DP migration? I'm assuming I can do this on the same box after building a new SCCM 2012 Primary, correct?Saturday, November 17, 2012 4:10 AM
