Moving clients to different SCCM 2007 site

[milemar]

Hi,

 

Ages ago someone deployed SCCM 2007 in our environment. I don't want to get into details about it. Simple saying it is not working as it should. It has't been patched updated etc. Total mess.

 

I have set up a new SCCM 2007 server, created completely separate SCCM site. Created boundary to be sure that those are not overlapping and works like a charm. Apps deploying without problems, OSD works too.

 

My question is, how quick and efficient move all clients from old SCCM site to the newly created?

My first thought was to uninstall SCCM clients and then extend boundary of new SCCM and push client installation from new server.

Is this good approach or there is other, maybe simpler way to do that?

 

Both SCCM server has to work at the same time during the transition.

 

There are hundreds PCs so going from one to another is not an option.

 

Thanks.

That's probably the easiest, as it's the easiest to simply reinstall the client to assign it to a different site.

I thought so. Will update this thread after the migration for future reference.

Thanks Peter.
