One thing you'll need is to add "RESETKEYINFORMATION=TRUE" to the install command line. This is from personal experience going from 2007 to 2012 clients. It was also recommended by a Sr. PFE recently which is to say it's possibly a best practice.
The client install needs to forget the old SMS certificate and get the new one from the MP. We did not need it when going from SCCM 2012 client RTM to SP1.

For those machines I will see many entries in the ccmsetup log of: *Failed to get DP locations as the expected version from MP '<FQDN of Site Server>'. Error 0x80072ee2** * However, if I wait a few hours or even days, it will show . *GET 'HTTP://<FQDN of Site Server>/CCM_Client/ccmsetup.cab' ccmsetup 1/21/2014 8:29:03 AM 4292 (0x10C4)** **Failed to send HTTP request. (Error at WinHttpSendRequest: 12002) ccmsetup 1/21/2014 8:29:24 AM 4292 (0x10C4)** **Next retry in 10 minute(s)... ccmsetup 1/21/2014 8:29:24 AM 4292 (0x10C4)** * *GET 'HTTP://<FQDN of Site Server>/CCM_Client/ccmsetup.cab' ccmsetup 1/21/2014 8:39:25 AM 4292 (0x10C4)** **C:\Windows\ccmsetup\ccmsetup.cab is Microsoft trusted. ccmsetup 1/21/2014 8:39:34 AM 4292 (0x10C4)** **Successfully extracted manifest file C:\Windows\ccmsetup\ccmsetup.xml from file C:\Windows\ccmsetup\ccmsetup.cab. ccmsetup 1/21/2014 8:39:34 AM 4292 (0x10C4)* The install will then proceed and looks like it's successful, but then, near the bottom, it has this: *Client installation will be skipped because required version of client is already installed. ccmsetup 1/21/2014 10:45:54 PM 3592 (0x0E08)* So, in a nutshell, what appears to be happening is: The package advertised by SCCM 2007 is run on all the client machines They all run the package successfully (exit status 0) I change the boundaries from SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012 Some machines show up right away in the SCCM 2012 console as client=yes with proper sitecode Most others still have the SCCM 2007 client in control panel, and errors in the ccmsetup log about failed to get DP locations After waiting some time period, they start to work and download the ccmsetup.cab file The installation looks like it then proceeds, but again, the SCCM 2007 client still shows up in control panel On one machine I was able to log on and watch this, and after I rebooted, the SCCM 2012 client appeared in the control panel and it looked ok. Has any one got any light to shed on this? Should it take this long to complete? Is my command line for upgrading flawed? Should the old SCCM client still appear in control panel? Should I put in a reboot after the client installs? Any and all thoughts are appreciated. Cheers John
