Automated SCCM-⁠to-⁠MECM migration

A PowerShell script that moved each PC from SCCM to MECM on its own: uninstall, reboot, wait for it to come back, install, reboot, and report, replacing about an hour of hands-on work per device.

Role
Technical Support Engineer II (Contract)
When
2022–2023

  • 3,000+

    devices to move from SCCM to MECM

  • ~1 hr

    of hands-on work per device, automated

  • 1 list

    of PC names in, a completion report out

  1. Situation

    FDOT needed to move more than 3,000 PCs from SCCM to Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (MECM). By hand, each one took about an hour: uninstall SCCM, restart to finish removing it, then install MECM. IT could only do a few at a time, because only so many devices could be remoted into at once.

  2. Task

    Automate the migration so it could run across the fleet without a technician remoting into each PC.

  3. Action

    • Wrote a PowerShell script that needed only a list of the PC names on the network.
    • For each PC, it uninstalled SCCM, then rebooted the machine to finish the removal.
    • It pinged the PC until it came back online a few minutes later, then installed MECM.
    • It rebooted once more so every MECM component came up live and working.
    • It logged each device as completed or not, so the team knew exactly which PCs needed follow-up.

  4. Result

    • Automated the SCCM-to-MECM migration for a fleet of 3,000+ devices.
    • Replaced about an hour of hands-on work per device, with no technician remoting into each PC.
    • A completion list showed which devices finished and which needed attention.
