Hi,

We have an SCCM 2007 environment in production with which we don't deploy any os-es. All other features: packages etc we do use, currently for Windows XP as well as Windows 7.

We've setup a SCCM 2012 environment in which we will deploy Windows 7. I'm not familiar with the possible migration concepts, therefore I thought of setting all items on SCCM 2012 manually (collections, applications) but why reinvent the weel? Therefore I 'd like to know/test my options WITHOUT IMPACTING production (export, import? ...)

Please advise howto.

Have a look here. You will find out what you need to know about this migration.

Hi,

You can migrate the collections, advertisement to SCCM 2012 or create them manually. Both are OK. I suggest you read the migration document first.

The Migration documents are in the link below.

Thanks for the link but that's really a party-pooper. If I 'd had the time to read all the documents on every subject I'm setting up, I'd need 4 extra lives :-).

You can migrate anything you want without affecting production. The client wont use the new sccm 2012 until you reinstall the agent on those machines. So you can migrate the setting and tweak things before every moving a client.

You can also migrate one collection at a time etc..... but when you get into packages etc.... it will try to migrate everything linked to that item.
