Migrate SCCM 2012 to new server

I need to migrate our SCCM 2012 installation to a new server. Both the old and new servers will be up concurrently if necessary. What steps do I need to take to do this?

Also, I want to upgrade to SP1 at the same time. Can I install SP1 on the new box alongside my current RTM install and do the migration or do I have to do the upgrade as a completely separate step after migration is complete?

Thanks.

Backup ConfigMgr on the old server (using the built-in maintenance task or a SQL backup; keep in mind to backup ContentLib, sources for applications, drivers, wim files etc!). Shut down server. Install new server (same name + domain + partition layout). Install ConfigMgr. Restore ConfigMgr backup. I don't know if it's supported to change the SP level at the same time. I would not recommend changing too much things simultaneously though.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I won't be able to use the same name. The reason I'm doing this is the server was originally configured with SCCM alongside SCOM. I'm trying to remedy this by migrating SCCM to a new server but leave SCOM on the old server.

Yes, I know this is an old post, but Im trying to clean them up. Did you solve this problem, if so what was the solution?

It is not possible to rename, you will need to reinstall. However you can export and import all of you packages.
