I am trying to plan a migration from SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012. I am unable to find if I can migrate the Forefront from SCCM 2007 in SCCM 2012, or if I will have to uninstall all agents and install new 2012 agents.

If anybody has any information / experiences I would appreciate it.

The main difference is Endpoint Protection 20102 is integrated into Configuration Manager 2012—it's no longer a separate piece. When you deploy Endpoint Protection 2012 from Configuration Manager, it will remove existing AV solutions, including previous versions of Forefront. See here:

About Client Settings in Configuration Manager

I would assume you would need to recreate the Endpoint Protection Managed settings but am not sure (we used McAfee previously).

    Bryan, I believe you are correct, for more supporting evidence I finally stumbled across this link: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/FCSNext/thread/c4d9c34b-bad3-4684-b149-f51e960ce081 Which basically says that if you update your SCCM agent to 2012, You cannot use FEP from 2007. – colo_joe Jan 28 '13 at 19:20
