I'm in the midst of migrating SEP 12.1.2 from an old server to a new one according to the "Replication Migration Process" in
http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH171767. It's working as advertised. I'm leaving the old server up with the SEP services running for the week so my clients can be properly re-assigned to the new server. I'd like to shut down the old server at the end of the week. I have two clean up issues I know I'll have to deal with.
1. Updating the clients that happened to be offline all this week (hopefully a small number).
2. Updating my install packages to point to the new server.
I know the sylink.xml is the key to both these steps. For my previously offline clients that may show up next week, are the steps in http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH157585 the best option? btw, my clients are a mix of 11.0.7 and 12.1.2. My server is 12.1.2.
For my install packages, do I export a sylink.xml from the proper default group in SEPM on the new server (according to http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH157585) and copy that to my install package(s)? I don't use different packages for different groups as seen by SEP.
I use SCCM to deploy a single SEP package to my clients instead of SEPM. I define policies according to AD OU and I'm hoping that those settings/policies are deployed after the client connects back to my server. That may be a different discussion to start. Let me know if I'm doing this incorrectly.
Thanks!
