Moving clients from one SCCM server to another (both are 2012)

[nicka]

I have been following the steps in these guides to setup my SCCM server, and I am also testing a move to a new server. I am just curious if there is a method to move the clients to the new server, and actually have the guests respond accordingly. I can add them to the new one, but as far as I understand, they will not follow it unless I actually change the server they are pointing at through the control panel on the guest server.

 

I am sure there is some way to do so, but I am not sure what it is. Maybe editing a setting through group policy or something.

 

Thanks

On the New Server:

First:Create Boundaries and Boundary Group and Enable Auto Assignment to your Site1.

Second:Run Discovery methods

Third:Enable Client Push Installation to Ensure that all clients has the Agent Installed , for clients who r installed it'll just make a repair for the client

 

After you finish Above steps Disable auto Site assignment for the Old Server and then remove it from your network

I was not using client push, but instead using WSUS to push them as is shown in the tutorials on this site, also for some reason I cannot get client push to work.

 

That being said, after adding them to SCCM, I pointed them to the new WSUS server using a GPO and they moved accordingly.

 

Thanks for your help.
