MECM 2002 - update package source path in console after distribution point refresh

Question

I need to move our source distribution point which contains all packages, applications, images, drivers data to new hardware.

New server 2016 has been configured as a distribution point and all source data has been copied over.

I need to update source path for all application, packages, drivers in MECM Console.

Is there a reliable or supported tool I can use to update source path in console rather doing it all manually?

I do see Administration>Migration option since We're not moving our primary site server at this time Distribution Point Migration option is greyed out.

Please advise.

Answer 1

This is a great tool for task that many have used over the years for similar tasks: https://msendpointmgr.com/2017/02/23/configmgr-content-source-update-tool-version-1-0-2-released/

The tool uses the supported PowerShell cmdlets so while we don't support the tool itself, it does use supported methods.

On a semantic note, source content locations are completely unrelated to distribution points. You may have them co-located, but that's a configuration choice that you've made and there is no technical connection.

Answer 2

I agree with Jason, that tool has saved me in the past.
I've documented my experience on my blog, and also I'd recommend using an Alias for your source server to help prevent this moving forward.
