csharma180 Posted April 9, 2009 Report post Posted April 9, 2009 HI All, I have a single tier SMS Hierarchy with one central server and clients assigned to it. Primarily I m using it for OSD. I wanted to know to when I upgrade my site to SCCM what will happen to my OSD packages and OSD as a whole. And also I have some rules created for Software metering in SMS. What will happen to software metering rules Thanks in Advance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anyweb Posted April 9, 2009 Report post Posted April 9, 2009 you can pretty much forget about OSD and rebuild everything from scratch with SCCM, in SMS we had to install the OSD feature pack just to install OS's in a managed way, with SCCM, operating system deployment is built in from the word go, the only thing you need to add to SCCM is Microsoft Deployment Toolkit if you plan on customising roles and features in Windows Server 2008 or for extra abilities while creating task sequences. If I was upgrading from SMS to SCCM, i'd rebuild everything from scratch and do it in a lab first, but if you have to upgrade then test it first in a limited way using a lab setup. please post how you decide to go here as I'd like to hear about your decisions in this regard and I have read the replies you got on myitforum also cheers anyweb Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
csharma180 Posted April 10, 2009 Report post Posted April 10, 2009 Hi First of all thanks a lot for your detailed reply. Before i actually decide on my plan i have one more question for you. In the scenario which i mentioned, if i upgrade my SMS to SCCM simply by uninstalling the FP and retaining the existing SMS OSD packages. How much effort onsite admin has to put in, in order to start with OSD in SCCM 2007 bcoz in SCCM we have Task sequence as a new feature Thanks in Advance Chan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
