So why did you put a CAS in? Just curious. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Jones Sent: Friday, January 30, 2015 1:47 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [mssms] Re: Rebuilding SCCM 2012R2 Environment in Parallel
I forgot to add, there are about 32,000 managed clients in one forest.

Currently the environment is: OS/SQL for the 5 servers in question is Server 2008 R2, SQL 2008 in VMware. Clients are XP / Vista / and Windows 7 Pro (NOT Enterprise) with some Win 8.1 sprinkled in. 1 CAS 2 Primaries with MP-DP-Catalog 2 Internet based MP-DP-Catalog (one for each primary) about 100 just DP's ( OS Win7 Pro thru Server 2003/8). There used to be about 400. SCCM 2012R2 CU 2 (to CU latest): We only use Asset Intelligence, package deployment and Reporting. We do not image or do SUP (another team using what they use), or anything else. My focus is on going to 1 Primary, 1 Internet based MP/DP/Catalog in VMware using Server 2012R2 and SQL 2012R2 (unlikely but maybe SQL 2014) as well as the necessary number of just DP's ( we piggy back on existing servers/workstations so they are what they are, and with no PXE ). It would have to be done in parallel, exporting/importing what I can, recreating what I need to, then migrating by boundary I suppose. What advice to you have, links you know of, things you've been burned by, etc. I am burning my way thru TechNet now.
