I did my actual client migrations at night, so I would upgrade my DP late that afternoon. I would usually reboot the DP once I saw that the upgrade was complete. I did have issues with a few sites where the clients could not find the binaries at the remote DP, and pulled them from the MP at my primary site. Bad news for my WAN, and made me thankful I was doing it after business hours.
I was comfortable with having a couple hour window where the clients would not be able to run any packages.

Thanks for this info. So our DPs are protected DPs for particular boundaries. Not sure you were in the same situation, but if so, I assume you upgraded the DP for each boundary immediately before migrating the clients within that boundary? I'm thinking if not and I upgrade all DPs at the same time then the 2007 clients won't be able to use the DPs anymore until they're migrated...

I upgraded the DP before I upgraded the clients at that site. I am pretty sure this needs to be done so that the client install binaries are on the DP, that way the only traffic that hits the WAN is the ccmsetup bootstrap file that gets pushed during the client push operation. I had everything enabled when I did the migration, and didn't have any issues. The execution history carries over, so when a client evaluates an advertisement, it sees that it has already run it.

Hi all, I finished migrating over all my objects and collections last week and I believe I'm at the stage where I can begin my client migration. A couple of questions before I begin for those of you who have done a ConfigMgr 2007 to ConfigMgr 2012 migration before: 1. Did you perform the DP upgrade before or after the client migration? I was planning to do it afterwards but just confirming. 2. Did you enable everything (deployments, advertisements, metering rules, etc.) before beginning your client migration? I was planning to as I'll be migrating them in batches.
