Hi,

We built new MECM site and would like to move existing clients from old site to new.

What is the best way to do it? I dont like to remove and reinstall the client, I just want to change the site code from old to new e.g. 01 to 02

While its change the site code I like to log all of the information into an log file so that we can review it if they is any issue

You will need to create a PowerShell script to do it. a quick Bing search will show you the command to change site codes.

I have below script which is being use to change site code

$sms = new-object –comobject "Microsoft.SMS.Client" $sms.SetAssignedSite("ABC")

On some machine it changes to site code but after 15 minutes it changes back to old site code
