Yes that's what I expected. I'd certainly be deploying it in a lab to get familiar with the changes, etc. That said, I wouldn't put it in the lab I use to model production as who knows what happens when you do the RC>RTM upgrade there versus a fresh RTM install.

RC in production is supported only for the TAP and CEP customers because Microsoft has been working with these groups all through the beta. Everyone else should be running RC in a lab environment (non-production) - and Microsoft is not indebted to help those folks upgrade. No big deal...this question comes up every time ConfigMgr (or SMS, in the old days) sees a new version. BTW: ConfigMgr 2012 is a HUGE product change, and I'm sure it's going to be a hit with a lot of folks. -----Original Message----- From: Brian Desmond [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, January 04, 2012 9:04 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: SCCM 2012 RC and upgrade paths? Is the RC supported in production though? If not (what I assume), the bigger question is why this question is surfacing in the first place.

Release will most likely be during MMS 2012, as Microsoft is waiting to release all System Center Suite 2012 products at the same time. Interesting that you ask this question.

Ross [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, January 04, 2012 5:41 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: SCCM 2012 RC and upgrade paths? Hey All. I'm back at looking at SCCM, and I see there is a 2012 Release Candidate. I'm interested in trying this, but my last attempt at 2007 was a bit clunky. I'm hoping for more success with 2012. So, my question: Is it known weather or not SCCM 2012 Release Canidate can be upgradable to the RTM version, or will a complete re-install be required? I'm also hoping for a release date to come soon. Maybe at CES... --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
