Hi All,

we are planning to migrate from SCOM 2012 R2 to SCOM 2019 by performing side by side installation.
We would like to perform the above task by doing multi home.

Please confirm if the below link will help us to perform multihoming.
https://argonsys.com/microsoft-cloud/library/scom-task-to-add-or-remove-management-groups-on-agents/

Please suggest if there is any better way to perform this.

FYI in our current environment(SCOM 2012 R2) we have agents running on operating systems windows 2012 and above versions.

Regards,
Ravi shankar

    Hi @shankar431 ,

    Yes you may use the guide that is originally from the Microsoft blogs over here:

    SCOM Task to Add or Remove Management Groups on Agents
    https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/core-infrastructure-and-security/scom-task-to-add-or-remove-management-groups-on-agents/ba-p/365819

    I would suggest you to also check out Kevin's guide over here:
