More Information

You can use the Configuration Manager console to upgrade Configuration Manager 2007 Distribution Points that you have shared with System Center 2012 Configuration Manager.

When you upgrade a shared Distribution Point, the Distribution Point is uninstalled from the Configuration Manager 2007 site. Then, the Distribution Point is installed as a System Center 2012 Configuration Manager Distribution Point that is attached to a primary or secondary site that you specify.

The upgrade process copies the migrated content that is stored on the Distribution Point and converts this copy to the System Center 2012 Configuration Manager single instance content store.
