Phil,
I'd suggest migrating the Software Updates Packages, and then once that's complete, go into the All Software Updates node, and filter for "Downloaded = yes." That might give you a good indication if the ConfigMgr 2012 hierarchy is "aware" of the existing content. Hopefully it is, and you can avoid having to re-download, and distribute, the same Software Updates again. Hope this helps. Cheers, Trevor Sullivan From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Schwan, Phil Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2013 7:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [mssms] Leveraging Migrated Content I'm just looking for a quick sanity check on something. In a CM07 to CM12 migration, one of the biggest benefits of using Shared Distribution Points and subsequently migrating them to full CM12 DPs is that the content simply gets copied form the CM07 package share to the CM12 single instance source content library on the same server. This alleviates the need to copy all that content down from the primary across the network. When it comes to Software Updates, the migration process converts Update Lists to Software Update Groups, Software Update Packages to the equivalent, and so on. So.I have a scenario in which I'd like to avoid the need to copy down several GB of Software Updates to remote DPs.BUT, I'd also like to "start fresh" with my SUG's and Deployments. If I migrate the Software Update Packages from CM07 to CM12 and subsequently migrate the DPs, it will copy all of those Software Updates to the single instance content library. If I then create brand new SUG's that include the updates that were part of those migrated Packages, the updates will already be on the DP and I would only need to copy down any additional updates, correct? Again, just making sure I'm thinking this all the way through and not missing anything. Any feedback is welcome!
