Hi:
I’m working on planning out our upgrade from SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012R2,
and just wanted to run a few things by the list before putting things in stone.
1. Currently, we have three different SCCM 2007 hierarchies. This is
because we have three different forests in our environment, with no trusts
between them. Our main domain has about 2000 clients that will be managed, the
other two between 20 and 50. My understanding is we will not be able to
consolidate these because there is no trust between the forests, so we’ll have
to stick with three hierarchies. Am I also correct in that we can’t set up a
CAS and then have each of the three report into that?
2. For our environment with 2000 clients, we have secondary sites at each
location, we currently have 1 primary and 17 secondary sites. I’m looking at
changing these to distribution points instead of secondaries of their own. I
know I can do compression to secondaries, but can I do bandwidth throttling?
Specifically, can I tell the primary to send nothing to the various
distribution points between certain times? If I can’t do that, then I have to
go with secondary sites at each location.
3. Finally, I know this is a controversial topic on this list, but SQL on
or off box. Right now its on box for the two smaller environments, and on our
SQL cluster for the larget 2000 client environment. To be completely honest,
this has worked well for me, and I’m leaning towards just sticking with that.
I know many SCCM admins tend not to trust their DBAs, but hey, I’m friendly
with the DBA here, he’s a nice guy and knows what he’s doing. So, what
advantage do I have in moving SQL on box for the larger environment instead of
keeping it on the SQL cluster?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
