If they are just taking over SCCM, there shouldn't be many changes for the rest of your system center suite. Losing control of SCCM could have an impact on you managing your servers, depending on how you use SCCM for them now. If they allow you to still do what you do now in SCCM for servers, you should be good. If they take it away, you'll lose whatever you do with SCCM, such as AV, patching, software installs. All the hooks with everything should still work unless they start changing accounts around on you. I would push for keeping your existing accounts the same and make sure that the servers end up in the right collections when they are migrated to a new site. You don't want your servers accidently hitting a collection with a mandatory Windows 7 reimage.

I have a relatively complex scenario I need some assistance with. I have an environment that consists of 4 AD forests. Currently everything has a two-way trust. Ultimately everything will collapse into a single forest. There is another team that maintains active directory. They also have an SCCM CAS and 2 Primaries. This team is wanting to move my SCCM primary into theirs and ultimately manage it themselves. Not ideal for me, but if this happens it happens. The gotcha is I am also using SCVMM, SCOM, SCORCH and App Controller. So I am still responsible for maintaining the other systems and components. What I need to know is will this work? How does this impact my ability to manage my enterprise (800 Servers, 500 workstations). I also have remote DP's for satellite offices in my current environment. I understand that I can migrate my site server to theirs in manage resources in multiple domains. But my two primary questions are: 1) how will this impact The features and functionality of SCCM? 2) Will this break anything with my current system center components? 3) what else do I need to be concerned about? Thank you, Brian
