-

Hi guys,

This time we will look on SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012 Migration. SCCM 2012 is out there in market and it provides lots of cool new features  for it infrastructure management like New CAS site, HTTP & HTTPs communications, Application catalog , enhanced mobile devices support, support for Linux & Mac Clients, Enhanced reporting, Monitoring, ADR-Automatic deployments rules…..So list is really quite large.

So these are some differences which make you to think about SCCM 2012. If still you are running SCCM 2007 in your environment, you should think about SCCM 2012.

How you can upgrade to SCCM 2012?

There is no In-Place Upgrade option to upgrade from SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012.

You need to perform a Side-by-Side Migration for SCCM 2012.



What Migration exactly does?

When you migrate data from a source hierarchy, you access data from the site databases that you identify in the source infrastructure and then transfer that data to your current environment. Migration does not change the data in the source hierarchy, but instead discovers sthe data and stores a copy in the database of the destination hierarchy.


Now which are the supported Migration Scenarios for SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012?

You need at least one SCCM 2007 Infra with SP2 version to migrate on SCCM 2012.

Configuration Manager 2007 SP2

  • Collections

  • Boundaries
  • Software distribution packages 
  • Virtual application packages

DHCP, WDS, PXE Boot and Common Issues

Hi Guys, Again i am back with very common information about DHCP,WDS & PXE and issues troubleshooting and their solutions. DHCP, WDS, and PXE are the main and needed components which plays very important role in SCCM OSD. They function and provide a very cool and automatize the OS installations (Network based). So why is the Need? DHCP : DHCP offers automatic ip address assigning functionality to machines at both booting state and online state. DHCP Scope options are one main key component. WDS : WDS offers the PXE functionality (Not SCCM) for network based OS installation (boots machine in to windows installation mode from network) So when we install the SCCM PXE service Point on WDS Server, It just overrides the settings of WDS PXE. Now Common PXE Boot Issues: ·         PXE-E53: No boot filename received   ·         PXE-T01: File not found ·         PXE-E3B: TFTP Error - File not Found   ·         PXE-E55 Proxy DHCP Service did no
