I'm a little bit confused what the way of replication is with a side-by-side scenario. In following threat they first talk about "up the hierarchy" and lower Wally states "down the hierarchy". http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/configmgrsetup/thread/6f0f871c-8920-457e-ab0a-8710888714d4 Or is it possible in both ways but does it depends if your new server has SMS (and execute an in-place later) or SCCM installed? Tnx

The reason it's confusing is because some things only flow up and others only flow down. John Marcum | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jmarcum |

Tnx John So I don't mind the things that DON'T flow up or down?

Hi, Packages, collections, advertisements and many other admin created objects flow down. Computer create data (inventory, status messages) flow up.Kent Agerlund | http://scug.dk/members/Agerlund/default.aspx | The Danish community for System Center products
