Upgrade site server to windows 2012 r2

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

We currently running sccm 2012r2 on a server 2008r2 box. Has anybody got any suggestions on the best way to upgrade the os to 2012 or 2012r2?

 

Is it best to wipe clean and the restore sccm using the site backup or can I do a in place upgrade of the os?

 

Thanks for your help. Luke

Dobsonl is running Server 2008R2 so he cannnot upgrade Windows to 2012 of any kind. It would need to be a fresh install and either a rebuild of SCCM or a site restore :(

 

 

 

Configuration Manager supports an in-place upgrade of the operating system of the site server in the following situations:

 

• In-place upgrade to a higher Windows Server service pack as long as the resulting service pack level remains supported by Configuration Manager.

• In-place upgrade from Windows Server 2012 to Windows Server 2012 R2.

 

Configuration Manager does not support the following Windows Server upgrade scenarios:

 

• Any version of Windows Server 2008 to any version of Windows Server 2008 R2 or later.

• Any version of Windows Server 2008 to any version of Windows Server 2012 or later.

Any version of Windows Server 2008 R2 to any version of Windows Server 2012 or later.

 

When a direct operating system upgrade is not supported, perform one of the following procedures after you have installed the new operating system:

 

• Install System Center 2012 Configuration Manager with the service pack level that you want, and configure the site according to your requirements.

 

• Install System Center 2012 Configuration Manager with the service pack level that you want and perform a site recovery. This scenario requires you to have a site backup that was created by using the Backup Site Server maintenance task on the original Configuration Manager site, and that you use the same installation settings for the new System Center 2012 Configuration Manager site.
