I have just created a new 12,1 MP3 SEPM with SQL database. I need to migrate the clients from the old existing SEPM with embedded database.
In the past I had used the instructions in this article: http://aka-community.symantec.com/connect/pt-br/forums/move-sep-11-clients-one-existing-server-another-existing-server to migrate clients to a new sepm.
I know with 12 I can push out a communications update package or drop the new syslink.xml file. The problem is I do not have admin access to a lot of the clients so this option worked great for me.
I had gotten this to work with 12.1 and migrated over 4000 clients this way. Unfortuntely I mistakenly edited the policy which caused it to stop working and I haven not been able to get it to work again.
Has anyone sucessfully done this with 12.1? Do I just need to copy the syslink.xml file over from the new SEPM or are there other files that need to be copied also?
