  • 1.  Multiple Sites - Need to consolidate

    Posted Jun 08, 2011 02:05 PM

    I have 3 SEPM sites that I want to manage from one management console.

    Site A and Site B have the same policies and configurations. Should I simply setup replication between the sites? Is there another option to manage site B in site A console without replicating?

    Site C has completely different, seperate policies etc. How do I setup Site A SEPM to manage Site C Server and clients? Setup Site C as an “additional site”

    Should I simply setup replication between the sites?--With replication other sites would loss all the data. A fresh database would be created there.

    Is there another option to manage site B in site A console without replicating?..NO
     
    Site C has completely different, seperate policies etc. How do I setup Site A SEPM to manage Site C Server and clients? Setup Site C as an “additional site”..Once the sites are
    installed it is not adivised to go for replication as it deletes all the database.

    Apart from that there is no other alternative that I can think of.
    So take back of the database go replication and restore that is the only thing that comes to my mind.

    Hello,

    In your case, things cannot take place as you have already Installed SEPM and they are in Production.

    I would try my level best to get things under one umbrella..However, in your case, you can do this only with the Point number 2.
