SCCM Creating Migration job step by step guide

Migration jobs is used to migrate data from source hierarchy to the destination hierarchy. Migration jobs identify the objects that you plan to migrate, and they run at the top-level site in your destination hierarchy.

Few things with Migration jobs;
- Create a migration job after completing the data gathering
- Migration jobs always runs on the top level of the hierarchy
- We can run multiple jobs at any given time
- We have 3 different types of migration jobs;
- Collection Migration
- Migrates selected collections and collection members
- Object Migration
- Migrates individual objects that selected
- Previously migrated object migration
- Migrate objects that you previously migrated, when those objects have updated in the source hierarchy after they were last migrated.

Which objects can we migrate:
Not every object can be migrated by a specific type of migration job.
The following list identifies the type of objects that we can migrate with each type of migration job.

Unsupported Migration collections:
As part of the site migration we can migrate default user collections, device collections, and most custom collections from a  source hierarchy. However, we cannot migrate collections that contain users and devices in the same collection.

The following collections cannot be migrated:
•A collection that contains users and devices.
•A collection that contains a reference to a collection of a different resource type.
•A collection that contains a rule to include unknown computers. The collection migrates, but the rule to include unknown computers does not migrate.

Creating Migration Job in SCCM:
Open SCCM console in SCCB 1511 then go to Administration/ Migration then Right click on Migration Jobs then choose Create Migration Job;

On the General tab of Create Migration Job Wizard window, provide a name and select Object Migration in the Job Type from the drop down then click next; 

Select objects that you want to migrate on the Select Objects tab then click next;

On the Content Ownership tab select new site under destination site to assign all the rights to the new site then click next;

If required, add new site code (SCCB 1511) on the destination site code On the Site Code replacement tab then click next;

 On the Security Scope tab specify the security scope to apply to the migrated objects then click next;

On the Settings tab;
- Specify the Schedule to run the migration job
- Conflict resolution action for already migrated objects
- Specify additional settings for Organizational folder structure then click next;

Review all the settings on the summary page, then click next;

Click Close on the completion tab to exist the wizard;

Based on the chosen schedule, the migration job will start and job status can be view in SCCB 1511 console under Administration / Migration / Migration Jobs

As the job progresses, we can see the object will populate in SCCB 1511 console.
