Migration scripts to help move from WSUS to Configuration Manager 2012

Saud from the UK Manageability Guys has been helping customers migrate from WSUS to System Center Configuration Manager 2012.

For desktop migrations, customers are usually happy to take all updates or the majority of updates and just start fresh. For servers, they want to be sure that they only thing they pull across is whatever was approved by change and release management.

To this end, I've written up a couple of sample scripts that help with this migration. The first script dumps a list of all approvals to all software update groups. The second script takes this list and create Software Update Groups (or Update Lists if you're using 2007) for each computer group with an update per approval.

Isn’t that nice of him?

Script links are available from the post.
