Kevin79 Posted April 17, 2012 Report post Posted April 17, 2012 I'm starting to plan my migration from SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012 but have some questions I would like answered first. Does SCCM 2012 collect the same type of information about software that is installed? If so, is it kept in the same tables? I have collections based on installed software and want to make sure they keep working. Does SCCM 2012 deploy software based on collection membership? I have software being pushed out based on collection membership (that are based on Active Directory group membership). Will I still be able to deploy software this way? Is there a way to move just a couple computers to SCCM 2012 without moving my whole site? I can put them in a seperate OU but the Subnet, AD Site, etc. will be the same as other clients that I want to stay in SCCM 2007 for the time being. Thanks!

Does SCCM 2012 collect the same type of information about software that is installed? If so, is it kept in the same tables? I have collections based on installed software and want to make sure they keep working. Pretty much yes but I'm not sure on the DB table names.

Will I still be able to deploy software this way? Yes this is possible. Is there a way to move just a couple computers to SCCM 2012 without moving my whole site?

Yes, you can have 2012 discover the items but dont auto install the client. Manually install it on the PCs you want it on. Or only discover and auto install onto certain critera like subnet or OU.

Or only discover and auto install onto certain critera like subnet or OU. If I do that, the computers that I don't want to test with but are discovered will still report to the 2007 server, correct?

willisj318 Posted April 18, 2012 Report post Posted April 18, 2012 Yes, as far as I know. This way is obviously riskier since if you do enable the client even accidentally everyone is upgraded. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
