System Center 2012 Configuration Manager can upgrade supported distribution points from Configuration Manager 2007 source HIERARCHIES, and REASSIGN supported distribution points from System Center 2012 Configuration Manager Source hierarchies. When you upgrade or reassign a shared distribution point, the distribution point site system role and the distribution point computer are removed from the source hierarchy, and installed as a distribution point at a site you select in the destination hierarchy. This process ALLOWS you to MAINTAIN your existing distribution points with minimal effort or disruption to your network.
