More Information

This update removes the -BoundaryGroup parameter from the Start-CMDistributionPointUpgrade cmdlet.

Note The Set-CMDistributionPoint cmdlet can be used separately to define a given boundary group.

Additionally, the -SiteCode and -InstallInternetServer parameters are replaced with the DestinationSideCode and InstallIIS parameters. However, the replaced parameters are still available as aliases; either parameter will work with the cmdlet.
