Choosing a Deployment Method

Use when: - Installing on new hardware - Existing SMS 2003 site hierarchy is revised

Side-by-side upgrade

Use when: - Existing SMS 2003 site hierarchy remains unchanged - No boundary changes are needed - Clients remain assigned to same site

Easier to do than side-by-side

In-place upgrade

Scenario Method

Use when no SMS 2003 hierarchy existsUse custom setup as preferred method

New installation
