Hi,
At the time I have a SCCM Server 2207 as standalone primary site server without any CAS and with one Domain. Now I want to install a second SCCM Server 2309 on the same domain.
my questions:
Regards
Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.
In my experience, we can run two SCCM servers on the same domain, just make sure the boundaries do not overlap and site codes are unique.

Could you please tell me about the boundaries do not overlap and site codes are unique?
What with System Management Container on the Domain Controller? How can communicate the Client with SCCM Server, I mean which SCCM Server? If have two sccm servers on the same domain Controller? How is with deploying applications or programs Which SCCM Server can do that and How??Tell me please where can I download the Version 2309 offline?
boundaries do not overlap and site codes are unique
That means each SCCM site has unique site code, the boundary and boundary group is for site assignment, that means the boundary determines which clients the site will manage. We cannot manage a client with two different sites.

The two servers will write in the same system management container on the domain controller. Which SCCM server the client communicate with is based on the boundary and boundary group.
We cannot download version 2309 because it's not a baseline version, we can install version 2303 and then upgrade to 2309.

Hi,

K I understood, but should I add the new SCCM server to the System Management Container too like my first SCCM server?
That means each SCCM site has unique site code, the boundary and boundary group is for site assignment, that means the boundary determines which clients the site will manage. We cannot manage a client with two different sites.
It mean I have two different Boundary and Boundary groups and two distribution Points? And if I want to deploy Apps or Programs and Windows Update, I can select which distribution Point?
Yes, we need to add the new site server computer account and Grant the Full Control permissions like the first SCCM server.
You need two different Boundary and Boundary groups in different SCCM site server.
We cannot select a DP when deploy apps or programs, when a client needs content, it makes a content location request to the management point. The management point returns a list of source locations that are valid for the requested content. And the client will select a DP with an order.

Dont understand that comment. If I deploy a Application, I need to select the DP at the time on my current SCCM Server. How is it after I have two SCCM Server for Deploy Application? How to select during the deploying Application on the Step "Content" the DP?
Each SCCM has its own DP, so I don't quite understand your doubts.
I know that, but how is the client machine contented to SCCM Server? and which SCCM Server?
The ConfigMgr client will only talk to one MP for a give site code. It is the MP that will provide a list of DPs that it will talk to for content.
Just my opinion, I could be wrong... but what we need to find out from you is "What problem are you trying to solve?"
Is it simply that you want to migrate/replace the existing physical server with a new one? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/core/migration/administrator-checklists-for-migration-planning
I simply don't understand the 'why' behind having two Primary sites, with two different site codes, in the same domain?
I have two reason
1.Upgrade my running SCCM 2207 to 2211/2303/2309 does not work and I did do here all but the MP does not work.
2.What is here wrong? Why can I not have multi primary site?
I want to migrate and I can migrate to other server. But tell me please, can the migration process upgrade from 2207 to 2309?
Regards
If you are migrating to a new server and hierarchy, with the intention of turning off the 2207 server, then yes, there is a guide to do EXACTLY THAT. It's time consuming; but it can be done. It just takes time and planning.
The trick will be exactly 'when' you move the boundaries, and 'when' you'll tell the clients to ccmsetup.exe with RESETKEYINFORMATION=TRUE SMSSITECODE=THENEWSITECODE to upgrade/move themselves from old site code to new site code.
That'll be the fun part. (where I'm saying the word 'fun' but MEAN the words "slightly traumatic")
Is there the only way to upgrade my 2207 to 2309?
Tell me please why can I not have two primary site on the same domain?
Do you have a other Link which describe step by step the migration?
How is wit my all Collections and Applications I created? Does it work after migration?
How is with D:\Source I shared for my Applications?

you can, did you read this yet: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/core/migration/administrator-checklists-for-migration-planning
Do you have a other Link which describe step by step the migration? Sure. Go to https://www.google.com, put in "step by step the migration sccm to new server", and follow any one of the multiple links provided.

Sorry, I cannot see on your link any note about migrate Collections or Applications or my shares.
Look deeper, for example..
fyi, I am not a 'migration expert'. Literally all I am doing is looking at the documentation on your behalf. I'm going to stop replying on this thread, since I don't feel like reading the docs anymore when I don't need to do a migration myself anytime soon.
thank you for your time and don't answer on this thread because I am feeling you don't have any Idea and no plan. Sending a Link can do everybody and I can find the documentation too and for that I don't need to create a ticket. I asked you many times why can I not have multi primary site on the same domain and no answer
