If you are planning to migrate your SCCM 2007 environment to SCCM 2012,you may have to think about your packages,collections,OSD and other stuff. you cannot migrate all collections from SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012.Couple of things to note before you migrate them.

Sub collections are no longer exists instead you have folders. blogged couple of posts on archiving/removing packages not been used for X days that will help you to not migrate them to…
How to add link URL or shortcut file to users desktop profile ? Easiest way to accomplish this task is with GPO(Group policy Object). If you want to accomplish this task using Configuration manager(SCCM),you can create simple VB script that does this job.

This is Continuation to previous post package archival process.up on the query results,I would not delete the packages from console directly rather i delete them from its assigned Distribution points and move them to Archive folder and let be there for sometime until for sometime incase if it is required. If you have large number of packages,you may find difficult in moving the packages by identifying where they reside (if you have subfolders).If you have less packages <10,you may use the report to know the root path of the package and then right click on the package Move to archive…
Long ago ,written SCCM report to list packages not used for 6 months as part of Package Archival process http://eskonr.com/2012/11/sccm-configmgr-package-archival-process-cleanup-activity/ .This report tells you to take further action to clean or move to Archive folder to wait for some more months before it goes for Deletion.

Old post but useful to share from J.C.HornBeck .We all know there are some hidden files(they are kind of secret files) which are available since Since Many years( I would think from SMS 2003 or may be from 2.0) in order to activate or deactivate some features in SMS/SCCM 2007 /SCCM 2012 (now) on client side or server side, such as preventing Software Inventory for a particular folder or preventing the installation of ConfigMgr files on a machine. Here’s some information on some of those files and how you might use them to control your Configuration Manager environment. The files…
SCCM Configmgr 2012 SP1 is already out to All Customers (General Available) brining several cool features ,several fixes, improvements. However, due to a recent problem (Installation error 0x800b0101 and binary installation Endpoint Protection for Linux and iOS.) on this component,Microsoft just review the ISO SCCM 2012 SP1 and launched it again, duly corrected. So if you downloaded the ISO before the day 25.01.2013,It would be recommend to download again. If you already in Production with Configmgr 2012 SP1 media released before the date,you should have already applied the fix to correct the issue and there is no need to Deploy…
Configuration Manager 2007 gives you an option to create New folder (kind of Custom reports folder ) with New Category to create your Own reports what you required But in Configuration Manager 2012,i don't see way to create New folder to create all the custom reports for your reference.

If you right click on reports node from Configuration Console,you don't get such option to create one. You will have to go with…
