How to transition from sms 2003 to Sccm 2007 - Notes from the field session at Belgian Techdays

Hi All,

I will be speaking at the Belgian Techdays for the second year in a row. The session is aimed at current SMS 2003 administrators that are looking at transitioning to SCCM 2007.

The session is scheduled for Thursday the 13th of March running from 14:30 till 15:45. Because of time constraints the session will not include any demo's. It will discuss all popular ways to transition from SMS 2003 to Sccm 2007, and introduce you to some scripts that can help you move to Sccm 2007 more smoothly.

Session Abstract:

This session will introduce you to the different methods of transitioning from sms 2003 to sccm 2007. The session will discuss the pro’s and con’s of the Wipe and Load, In-place Upgrade, Side-by-Side Migration and the speakers personal favorite the Side-by-Side upgrade. The session will also show you how you can use scripts to assist you in automating certain tasks during the migration process.

Hope to see you all there.

I'll share what they do, just not the sources just yet. Don't worry I'll make the sources available after I have cleaned them up a bit, and after I have given my session.

Countobjects: Counts the number of pkg's, adv's, swmtr rules, collections, folders, queries & reports to see wheter everything has been migrated.

Smscontainers: migrates an entire folder structure to the new environment

advfoldermembership: moves advertisements back to the correct folder

modadvert: modifies advertisements to run from dp if no local dp is found.
