Your network contains a single Active Directory forest named contoso.com.
Contoso.com contains three System Center 2012 Configuration Manager sites and one System Center Configuration Manager 2007 site.
You need to ensure that you can transfer objects from Configuration Manager 2007 to Configuration Manager 2012.
What should you do?
A. Assign the computer account of the Central Administration site server permission to the Configuration Manager 2007 site.Assign the computer account of the Central Administration site server permissions to the Microsoft SQL Server database instance.
B. Extend the Active Directory schema and assign the Central Administration site server permissions to the System\System Management container.
C. Connect the Configuration Manager 2007 primary site as a child primary site of the Configuration Manager 2012 primary site.
D. Connect the Configuration Manager 2012 primary site as a child primary site of the Configuration Manager 2007 primary site.
Correct Answer: A

Note:
In Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, the built-in migration functionality replaces in-place upgrades of existing Configuration Manager infrastructure by providing a process that transfers data from active Configuration Manager 2007 sites. The functionality provided by migration helps you maintain investments that you have made in configurations and deployments while you can take full advantage of core changes in the product introduced in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager. These changes include a simplified Configuration Manager hierarchy that uses fewer sites and resources, and the improved processing by use of native 64-bit code that runs on 64-bit hardware.
Migration can transfer most data from Configuration Manager 2007.

Planning for Migration to System Center 2012 Configuration Manager
You must first install a System Center 2012 Configuration Manager hierarchy to be the destination hierarchy before you can migrate data from a supported source hierarchy.
After you install the destination hierarchy, configure the management features and functions that you want to use in your destination hierarchy before you start to migrate data.

Prerequisites for Migration in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager
To migrate from a supported source hierarchy, you must have access to each applicable Configuration Manager source site, and permissions within the System Center 2012 Configuration Manager destination site to configure and run migration operations.
Required Configurations for Migration

Data Gathering
To enable the destination site to gather data, you must configure the following two source site access accounts for use with each source site:
* Source Site Account: This account is used to access the SMS Provider of the source site.
* For a Configuration Manager 2007 SP2 source site, this account requires Read permission to all source site objects.
* For a System Center 2012 Configuration Manager source site, this account requires Read permission to all source site objects, you grant this permission to the account by using role-based administration.
* Source Site Database Account: This account is used to access the SQL Server database of the source site and requires Read and Execute permissions to the source site database.
You can configure these accounts when you configure a new source hierarchy, data gathering for an additional source site, or when you reconfigure the credentials for a source site. These accounts can use a domain user account, or you can specify the computer account of the top-level site of the destination hierarchy.
