The Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 Transfer Site Settings Wizard transfers the following site settings. If a setting is marked as "not available" it means the setting appears in the properties but does not appear in the Transfer Site Settings Wizard and cannot be transferred. If a setting is marked as "not used", it appears in the Transfer Site Settings Wizard but does not correspond to a setting in the properties; selecting these settings has no effect whatsoever.
