So this confirms that Data will definately be lost. So when adding the newly aquired site and I run through the server configuration wizard I will choose their Database to wipe and not ours. Before I do so I need to export all the policies first.
Are the client groups , administrators , domains deleted with everything else so whne they log back into a console connected to their SEPM nothing will be there?
Here is the REAL scenario:
UK site was the first to migrate from SAV 10 by myself as a "test bed" the UK is not the MASTER site as this will be Germany.
Germany have started to migrate and because of the infrastructure topology that they wish to achieve replication needs to be in place.
With Germany being the Master site with several other european countries being secondary it all needs to be replicated up to Germany but the other sites will not be able to see each other. I can achieve this easy enough.
Lucklily I have put this together but have stumbled at the point where we have 15000 clients migrated and as Germany have just started with their migration I need to get the Replication in place sooner rather than later as they have already created policies etc.
I need to preserve as much as possible here and be mindful on how to bring on board the other countries. I obviously need to add them before they start building policies etc?
Any more advice will be appreciated.
Thanks for the links to documents but I understand how to implement replication but cannot get my head around the fact that Symantec have not thought about merging company infrastructures.
