Free Microsoft Software - No Catches..!!!

Too good to be true?

Well no. The Configuration Manager Customer Team are looking for volunteers to test the upgrade to SCCM of copies of their production SMS 2003 Site Databases. Random people from the first 50 submitted entries will be chosen with special prizes awarded to those whose upgrades fail in the most interesting way.

All you need to do is:

  • Backup your Production SMS 2003 SP2 database and restore it to a test SQL server (NOTE: Please ensure you use a COPY of your Production database and you MUST use a proper Production database and not one from a test lab to be eligible).
  • Ensure you disable replication on the database if it is a replication source.
  • Go to http://connect.microsoft.com/. Under available programs select "TestDB Upgrade - Configuration Manager 2007 Beta 2".  Apply and complete the additional instructions and you will be taken to the homepage for this program.  Follow the instructions to complete the process. 

That's it.
