Planning the Migration

Migrating from versions of the product before ConfigMgr 2007 is not directly supported. If you use an earlier version than ConfigMgr 2007, you have two options:

• Upgrade to ConfigMgr 2007; then migrate to System Center 2012 Configuration Manager.

• Perform a new installation of ConfigMgr 2012 and rediscover objects.

Though both options are similar in principle, the move from ConfigMgr 2007 to System Center 2012 Configuration Manager is simplified with the assistance from the built-in migration functionality. This migration functionality of System Center 2012 Configuration Manager is discussed in the “Migration Jobs” section.
