Unless your limited by politics, I would go to a parallel scenario with one beef virtual server and get to CM12 ASAP.
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Enley, Carl Sent: Wednesday, April 08, 2015 11:43 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [mssms] SCCM 2007 Migrate to new Hardware - I have been approached with a project to migrate our existing SCCM 2007 R2 environment to new Server hardware. We are currently running on Server 2003 and need to get to 2008R2 before EOL in June\July. I suppose a in place upgrade is not supported? I have suggested time and time again that we should put our efforts into SCCM 2012 but Mgt has not made a decision and time is running out. We have 2 primary sites with about 5000 clients and I am looking for a brief outline of the steps required to perform this upgrade with no loss of data \ production services - patching, software distribution, reporting etc... Some of my questions surround the following: * In what order should the upgrade take place ? Primary Parent site first? * Can I go from X86 server OS to X64 server OS. * Physical to Virtual supported * Sql Server versions, do they need to be the same (2005) * Drive configuration (Raid levels etc..) * Are there any gotchas that I should be looking at? If anyone has performed this task before and you are willing to share some tips or outline the steps that you have taken I would greatly appreciate it.
