SCCM 2012 SP1 - Site Migration Advice

[j1mmyd3an]

Hi there, after spending countless hours trying to troubleshoot all the issues I have run into post-SP1 I am considering a full site rebuild. Currently my site looks like:

 

1 - Primary Site ( Windows 2008 R2 SP1 )

1 - SQL Server ( Windows 2008 R2 SP1, SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 10.50.2861 )

11 - Distribution Points ( Windows 2008 R2 SP1 )

 

Pretty simple setup... Anyway, I'm stuck with a few issues post-SP1 that are really driving me crazy and I have an opportunity in about 2 weeks to take the system down and start over. I have Server 2012 and SQL Server 2012 available for use if I want to so I was thinking of at least using Server 2012.

 

I have some concerns that my database isn't entirely sound. I've got some values in my inventory that don't make much sense. I was wondering if it's possible to set up a new site and do a migration the same way I did when I migrated from 2007 using the built in tools. I was hoping to create a new empty database and migrate all my packages/collections/task sequences. I thought I might just let the new site rediscover all my client data.

 

So the point of this post is to get some feedback. I'm sure some people in this forum have done a ConfigMgr 2012 to ConfigMgr 2012 migration but I didn't have much luck searching for info. Understandably, most info I found dealt with 2007 to 2012 migration.

 

Thanks for reading. Any info/insight/advise/warnings are all welcome.

 

Cheers!

So I thought I'd post back just to say that my migration went well. I just jumped in and did it and the built in migration tasks worked out great. The only thing that failed was migrating any task sequence that had MDT components in it. Even thought I had done the MDT Update 1 on my new server prior to migration it failed every time. Not sure if that's expected or not, and I honestly didn't spend too much time troubleshooting that.

 

Anyway, if anyone out there is faced with migrating a ConfigMgr 2012 SP1 install to a new site/build/hardware, the tools work well. I've not contributed much to this forum but it has helped me out a lot so if I can give something back I'm happy to.

 

Cheers!
