Dear All,
We have a SCCM server (V. 2303) that we installed it on a Dell physical machine, and it is currently acting as a Distribution point for all Windows 10 endpoints. We also installed & configured SQL Server 2019 on the same server.
As our device count is getting increased, we are planning to move this SCCM + SQL server to virtual server which has high end configurations,
Existing Server: Windows Server 2019
New Server: Windows Server 2022
Could you please let me know the step-by-step instructions on how to process this migration successfully?
Recommend way is Backup and restore. However, you can utilize P2V based solution to convert the physical configuration to virtual.
Hello MJ,
In addition, if you want to keep the same config, you can use a P2V (Physical To Virtual) migration, more details:

The site backup maintenance task includes also the CMDB.
You will find more details in the following article about recovering a ConfigMgr site & DB, what's steps to be done before etc:

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.
Per my experience, SCCM Site Backup and Restore will be a good method here. Helpful articles for your reference:

Thanks for your time. Have a nice day!

I have recovered the SCCM server using the provided link (https://www.nibonnet.fr/migrate-your-sccm-server-to-a-newer-server/), but I am encountering an error
Note: I have already copied the directories from the existing server's F: drive to the new server's F: drive.
Thank you all for your responses. Let me go through all the links and prepare for the migration next week. I will definitely provide my feedback here once the changes have been completed. Catch you soon. Thank you again!
Good luck!
I have a quick question. I reviewed all the provided links and I'm considering the option to migrate our SCCM server to a newer one "MIGRATE YOUR SCCM SERVER TO A NEWER SERVER". Currently, both SQL and SCCM are on the same server. While the migration link covers backing up and restoring SCCM, it doesn't mention SQL. My question is, when we restore the SCCM configuration, will it also load the existing SCCM database tables in SQL?
