tdkris Posted July 24, 2013 Report post Posted July 24, 2013 Hi, We have Windows XP and SCCM 2007 in our environment. There is a tentative proposal to upgrade to windows 7.I am new to this and pls bear with me for the basic questions. I need to know the best way for the upgrade if upgrade to SCCM 2012. Ours is a single primary site with dedicated distribution points. What would be the bes tway to upgrade taking in to account cost benefits * Upgrade to Windows 7 with SCCM 2007 or upgrade to SCCM 2012 first and then upgrade to Windows 7 * What would be the license costs with regards to the former and the latter ? * Windows 8 cannot be managed from SCCM 2007. Any other limitation in SCCM 2007 after upgrading to Windows 7 ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anyweb Posted July 24, 2013 Report post Posted July 24, 2013 Windows 8 cannot be managed from SCCM 2007. Any other limitation in SCCM 2007 after upgrading to Windows 7 ? that is not correct, it can be managed with this hotfix, you just cannot deploy Windows 8 using OSD via Configuration Manger 2007 in a supported way, for that you'll need Configuration Manager 2012 SP1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdkris Posted July 24, 2013 Report post Posted July 24, 2013 Thanks Niall..What about my other queries ? Makes sense ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anyweb Posted July 24, 2013 Report post Posted July 24, 2013 personally i'd recommend you move to Configuration Manager 2012 SP1 as soon as you can, and then do whatever you need after that migration. As regards license costs, you'll need to speak to your local Microsoft Rep as they may offer you a better deal than what is offered publicly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
