I am sorry for asking this question yet again, but I am getting hammered by people in my company and want to make sure I get this right.
I am migrating from 2007 to 2012. I am not using auto site assignment. Instead of flipping an entire AD site, they want me to flip only a few subnets from within a larger subnet boundary. So, I just want to make sure I have all my facts right.
- I can have overlapping boundaries for content. So, if I leave the boundaries in 2007 alone and simply add any subnet or AD site into the boundaries and boundary group in 2012, there is no issue.
- I also have a single subnet boundary for wireless in each office. Since I am only adding a subset of the subnet boundary, is there an issue of just adding the entire wireless subnet to the 2012 boundary? The reason being is that of course people pick up and move around.
- Same goes for a wired connection. If they take laptop and hard wire it in on another floor with another subnet.
In conclusion, since 2007 and 2012 are totally independent and I am not using auto client assignment, it does not matter if I have overlapping boundaries. I can leave them overlapping until I migrate all clients from 2007, which could take a week or two.
In my testing we brought up a separate VLAN as to not have overlapping boundaries, but since this is a 2007 to 2012 and not 2012 to another 2012 instance, the overlapping boundaries will never be an issue.
Thanks again for your answers.
