  • 1.  Best practice for setting up new test SEPM?

    Posted Jul 28, 2017 08:25 AM
    Attempting to test the upgrade from 12.1.6 to 14 but not ready to do this in production. Trying to establish a test environment and need the best way to achieve this. Will be on same network, same Windows domain, unfortunately. I suppose the question is should this be a separate "site" or what? Separate SQL DB I'm sure. Is there a document somewhere that addresses this? Thanks in advance.

    Spin up a box for the SEPM and a box for SQL.

    There's not much to it though, you install the SEPM and during the setup point it to the SQL box to create the DB.

    This article goes into detail:

    Thanks Brian.  Seems simple but I didn't want to interfere with the existing production server.  Should the new sepm be setup as a new site?

    It will be completely separate from the prod SEPM since you have them on separate boxes. It will be its own site and will have no relation to the existing setup.
