RDS 2012 in-place upgrade to 2012 R2

Hello,
we have RDS deployment which consists of three 2012 servers:
connection broker/licensing server
web access/gateway server
session host server
Planning to upgrade to 2012 R2, does the order in which to upgrade servers matter? Or can I start from whichever server I see fit?

I upgraded RDCB/Licencing server first, then Web Access/Gateway server. My RDSH upgrade failed, but deployment seems to work with two 2012 R2 servers and RDSH 2012. Also added a second RDSH server (2012 R2), to replace 2012 which was failing to upgrade.

In-place upgrade of Windows Server 2012 RDS to R2 fails

Hi All
I have a Server 2012 Standard RDS virtual machine (vmware) on which I have tried doing an in-place upgrade to 2012 R2 but it constantly fails.
It sits at the "Collecting files, settings and applications" process for quite a while - always on 0% and then says: Installing Windows was Canceled "Setup can't continue. Restart the computer and restart Setup. When prompted, try getting
the latest updates."
I have tried combinations of all the settings during setup to look for updates, not look for updates, etc., rebooted several times, even disabled the RDS services and still the same result.
As a test, I tried doing an in-place upgrade on the base OS installation that was used to create this VM and it works perfectly. The only difference between the servers is that the live has RDS role installed.
Is there any Microsoft documentation on the 2012 RDS in-place upgrade process to R2?
Can anyone offer any suggestion as to why the in-place upgrade might be failing with the RDS role installed?
Thanks heaps

As I stated I have already tried an in-place upgrade on the base 2012 vm that I used to create the production RDP server and it worked.
It seems that the RDS role may be preventing the upgrade?
Ideally I want to go down the in-place upgrade on the production server as we have alot of users using this machine. I would rather not have to build an R2 RDS server from scratch.
if you really think the RDS is preventing the upgrade, how about stopping the RDS service then do an in place upgrade.
check how it goes.. :)
Every second counts..make use of it. Disclaimer: This posting is provided AS IS with no warranties or guarantees and confers no rights.

In Place Upgrade RDS sever 2008 R2 to 2012 R2

Hi
I have a single RDS server 2008 R2 running the roles of RDGM, RDLM, RDSHC, RDWAC an Remoteapp manager. I want to do a in place upgrade to Server 2012 R2. Is this a supported path? Are there any step by step guides available?
Thanks
Gus

Hi Gus,
Sorry for the delay.
As TP suggested. Only RDG and RDL are supported for upgrading or migration. Other role are supported or upgrading or migration due to architecture changed.
Regarding the guide for setting up RDS 2012, please refer to the following:

In place upgrade to 2012 R2 fails, Setup can't continue. Your computer will now restart, and your previous version of windows will be restored.

I have multiple Windows Server 2008 R2 machines in which I am attempting to do an in place upgrade to 2012 R2, and it is repeatedly failing.
Setup gets all the way through, and it says Getting ready, followed immediately by an error saying: Setup can't continue. Your computer will now restart, and your previous version of Windows will be restored.
I am attempting to install:
Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter (Server with GUI)
x64 Date modified 3/18/2014
I have found several posts, many discussing how disk space can be an issue, I have increased disk space so it shouldn't be an issue. I have also made sure the only only partition on disk 0 is C: and system reserved.
I have disabled all unessential services and went through and removed all unessential applications, and extras. Still getting the error.

Any ideas on how I can resolve this, or further troubleshoot?

I also had this error: "Setup cannot continue. Your computer will now restart, and your previous version of Windows will be restored."
trying to do a in-place upgrade of a Domain Controller Windows 2008 R2 to Windows 2012 R2.
The problem was the separated System Reserved Partition. After I removed using this instructions:
http://jacobackerman.blogspot.com/2012/12/how-to-remove-system-reserved-partition.html
The upgrade ran ok, and now have my DC as Windows 2012 R2.
Hope that helps!.

Compatibility_level on SQL Server 2012 in-place upgrade

Hi all,
Based on BOL, master and user databases' compatibility_level will not be changed to 110 on SQL Server 2012 in-place upgrade.
Database Compatibility Level After Upgrade
The compatibility levels of the tempdb,
model, msdb and
Resource databases are set to 110 after upgrade. The
master system database retains the compatibility level it had before upgrade.
If the compatibility level of a user database was 90 or 100 before the upgrade, it remains the same after upgrade. If the compatibility level was 80 or less before upgrade, in the upgraded database, the compatibility level is set to 90, which is the
lowest supported compatibility level in SQL Server 2012.
I get the some result in our environment. So in-place upgrade SQL 2008 instance to SQL 2012 (both standalne and clustered), master/user databases' compatibility_level is 100. I also try to use SQL 2012 new function
OFFSET and FETCH, it works.
My concern is, whether we have to manually update the compatibility_level to 110? As SQL 2012 new features seem work even with compatibility_level <110, is there any problem if we leave it?
(I didn't find any document about this, and related change metioned as a step for SQL 2012 in-place upgrade.)
Any thoughts?
MCSE:Data Platform

So the idea is that if you have applications that are dependent on behaviour that changes, you can stay with the old compat level. I believe that there is some upgrade assistant to investigate whether this applies to you.
On the top of my head, I don't recall any differences between compat levels 100 and 110, but there surely are some. But there are no new reserved keywords as I recall. And some things break even with the old compat level. (COMPUTE BY and the old RAISERROR
syntax for instance.) So I don't think it is particularly brave to change the compatibility level. Change it back if something really breaks.
The risk if you don't change it now, is that you have code developed on a dev server with compat level 110, which breaks when you deploy in production. And this happens one year from now, and no one recalls that this server has compat level 100, so it
causes a lot of confusion and waste of time.

Best practice for RDGW placement in RDS 2012 R2 deployment

Hi,
I have been setting up a RDS 2012 R2 farm deployment and the time has come for setting up the RDGW servers. I have a farm with 4 SH servers, 2 WA servers, 2 CB servers and 1 LS.
Farm works great for LAN and VPN users.
Now i want to add two domain joined RDGW servers.
The question is; I've read a lot on technet and different sites about how to set the thing up, but no one mentions any best practices for where to place them.
Should i:
- set up WAP in my DMZ with ADFS in LAN, then place the RDGW in the LAN and reverse proxy in
- place RDGW in the DMZ, opening all those required ports into the LAN
- place the RDGW in the LAN, then port forward port 443 into it from internet
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
The deployment is totally depends on your & company requirements as many things to taken care such as Hardware, Network, Security and other related stuff. Personally to setup RD Gateway server I would not prefer you to select 1st option. But as per my research,
for best result you can use option 2 (To place RDG server in DMZ and then allowed the required ports). Because by doing so outside network can’t directly connect to your internal server and it’s difficult to break the network by any attackers. A perimeter
network (DMZ) is a small network that is set up separately from an organization's private network and the Internet. In a network, the hosts most vulnerable to attack are those that provide services to users outside of the LAN, such as e-mail, web, RD Gateway,
RD Web Access and DNS servers. Because of the increased potential of these hosts being compromised, they are placed into their own sub-network called a perimeter network in order to protect the rest of the network if an intruder were to succeed. You can refer
beneath article for more information.

ADWS Broken after in-place upgrade from Server 2008 R2 to Server 2012 R2

I compared the registry with a working system but the Counters - and all other keys - looked fine.
At the same time as upgrading a DC a colleague was updating an unrelated server, and he started to see similar events in the event log (but for the Dell OpenManage Essentials service, not ADWS). The error was complaining about KERNELBASE.dll which set my
spider sense tingling. We knew that this server had Windows Updates pending. Fully updating it solved the problem on that server.
I solved the ADWS problem in the end by fully Windows Updating the DC. In particular, the ADWS Service started successfully after installing KB2919355 and rebooting. That also
'unlocked' a further 59 updates pending.
After the in-place upgrade I always fully Windows Update but I'm 99% certain that KB2919355 did NOT show up when I did a Check for Updates straight after a reboot so I thought the DC was up-to-date. I then spent hours investigating the ADWS problem and rebooted
as part of the diagnostics. It was then that I noticed on the logon screen that there were updates pending...
Moral of the story? Windows Update, then Update again, and again, and again. The length of time it takes to Windows Update after an upgrade from 2008R2 to 2012R2 is painful though.

In-place upgrade from windows 2008 R2 to windows 2012

Hi all,
we are currently running SAP ERP EHP7 (Netweaver 7.40 ) on Windows 2008 R2 server, MS SQL 2012 database.
Is it possible to do in-place upgrade to Windows Server 2012?
We want to do upgrade without buying new hardware and perform system copy.
Regards

Hi,
the only note where we discussed our findings about in-place upgrades of the Windows operating system is SAP Note 1494740.
Even though the upgrade to Windows Server 2012 is not discussed explicitly, the note is also valid for Windows Server 2012.
The only thing you have to take care is: upgrade your system components (database, other 3rd party software) to versions supported on Windows Server 2012 before you are performing the in-place upgrade.
Regards
Peter

SCSM 2012 R2 - In-Place Upgrade to Windows Server 2012 R2

Hello,
is an in-place upgrade of the underlying OS from Windows Server 2012 to Windows Server 2012 R2 supported by SCSM 2012R2. I know of some products where it is supported, some where it isn't (e.g. Exchange) but I haven't found any information on SCSM (Management,
DW, SQL, DWSQL).
Thank you in advance.
Regards
Sascha

i would never recommend upgrading the OS on any production environment, especially you have any virtualization and can stand up the new OS on the same hardware.
that being said, i don't see any obvious reason this would fail, but i don't thing it would be obviously supported either.

Upgrade Windows Server 2012 to Windows Server 2012 R2 in-place upgrade

I have tried to do an in place upgrade for Windows Server 2012 Standard to Windows Server 2012 R2 using the in-place upgrade at least a dozen times. Always with the same unhelpful failure message.
I have tried downloading the latest (setup) update and not downloading it - makes no difference - same error.
I would really rather upgrade this server than re-install. I have scoured the internet looking for answers and I can't find anything useful.
I have downloaded the latest 2012 R2 Standard iso. The version of 2012 installed is a stock retail Standard version it was never an eval version.
Any help much appreciated.
Andy

In-place upgrade from Server 2012 to Server 2012 R2

I have a Dell PowerEdge 1850. I installed Server 2012 Standard. This works fine. I made it a domain controller in an existing domain. I also added Print Management Role. This was working fine.
I then did an in-place upgrade to Server 2012 R2. Now it is stuck in a rebooting loop.
It says "Your PC needs to restart. Please hold down the power button. Error Code: 0x000000C4. Parameters: 0x0000000000000091, 0x00000000000000F, 0xFFFFF803827DCA00, 0x0000000000000000.
I cannot get out of this loop. Others have said they have this problem when installing with virtualization. However, I am installing on the native hardware. The CPU does not support hardware virtualization.
This worked fine with Server 2012. In fact, I have 4 other Domain Controllers that are identical to this one running Server 2012. Did Server 2012 R2 add a CPU feature check that is hampering this?

The 1850 is a pretty old box. What you are running into sounds like the lack of a proper disk driver for the box (I've had that happen multiple times during new releases). The disk driver needs to be provided by Dell. I don't believe Dell
supports the 1850 with 2012 R2, so getting a driver for it might be a bit of a challenge. You can find which servers Dell supports under the different versions of Windows Server by checking out
www.windowsservercatalog.com.
Microsoft only puts supported device drivers submitted by the vendors well ahead of time on the distribution media. Seeing that you were able to get 2012 running on the 1850s earlier, my guess is that you had separate media for the driver that you
used during the installation. There is a place during the installation that allows the loading of device drivers that are not on the installation media. If you can get Dell to give you a driver for 2012 R2 for the 1850s, maybe you can update the
driver under 2012 and then update the OS.
Personally, though, I never upgrade a domain controller in place. It is so easy to simply create a new one and add it to the domain. Then, if you do have a driver for 2012 R2, you can load it during the clean installation.

In place upgrade from R1 to R2 2012

Is it safe and supported to do an in place upgrade from SCCM 2012 SP1 (R1) to SCCM 2012 R2?

Yes it is. See

In-place Upgrade Server 2012 to R2 running DFS-N and DFS-R roles

Hello,
I have 2 servers running DFS-R and DFS-N running Windows Server 2012. I am planning to do an in-place upgrade to 2012 R2. Is this supported?
Rgds,
Irfan
Irfan Goolab SALES ENGINEER (Microsoft UC) MCP, MCSA, MCTS, MCITP, MCT

Hi Irfan,
Yes, you can upgrade Windows Server 2012 to 2012 R2 to deploy a later version of DFSR. DFSR must be recreated for that server and perhaps for the entire Replication Group depending on the server’s place in data origination.
For more detailed information, please refer to the articles below:

2008 R2 Certificate Authority In Place Upgrade to 2012 R2

Hello,
I've been reviewing all the MS Documentation on CA Migrations, but none cover In-Place upgrades. No documentation against the idea either.
We have a single Root CA running 2008 R2, I would like to upgrade to 2012 R2 in place.
Is that possible?
Not recommended?
Do I need to update to 2008 R2 w/SP1 first?
Or is it just better to Migrate to new installed 2012 R2 server?
Thanks, Tony

Windows Server 2012 - In-place Upgrade to R2

Is Microsoft going to support in-place upgrades from 2012 to 2012 R2?

Hi,
Currently, we have no official news regarding if it supports upgrade from Windows Server 2012 to 2012 R2. But according to the previous OS upgrade path, I think it should support.

RDS 2012 R2 Separate Session Collection Behavior

Hi everyone! I should start by saying that I've found a number of threads which are semi-related to this topic, but they just don't seem to address my particular complaint. I'm not sure if this is a bug, a configuration error on my part, or if
it is expected behavior (which would be unfortunate for my intended use cases).
The issue is that I need to provide two separate collections of RemoteApps, and I only want the collection appropriate to the logged-in user to be displayed in Web Access (or in the feed, for that matter). One collection includes an expansive set of
RemoteApps, and the other collection includes a limited subset of those published in the first.
Now, I know that a SH can only belong to one session collection. That makes sense, and in my case, I wouldn't want it any other way. It offers better separation between the user environment intended for use by employees, and the user environment
intended for use by non-employees, which is a bit more restrictive. (Those are the actual purposes of the two collections described earlier.) So far, so good. Now, it seems to me like every other role beside the SH role should be able to
do its job for all collections. What other purpose could the concept of a "Collection" possibly serve, after all? If I had to stand-up Connection Broker, Web Access, Gateway, and Session Host for every collection of RemoteApps, then there
wouldn't need to exist any concept in RDS 2012 R2 called "Collections". So, I figured that Connection Broker, Web Access, and Gateway could serve all collections, and Session Host is of course limited to serving one single collection. And,
I guess, that's largely the way it works, with one exception.
My issue is that in Web Access, all RemoteApps from all published RemoteApp collections are presented to every user who has access to one collection OR the other, despite my best intentions of having provisioned each collection with seprate user group assignments
using two separate AD groups. I don't want to advertise all RemoteApps from all collections in the Web Access namespace! To me, the presence of "User Group" configuration at both the Collection level and at the RemoteApp level implies
that there is some user group filtering going on, but so far that's looking like a false assumption. Why would the RemoteApp list in one collection bleed into the RemoteApp list in the second collection? Why would I want the users of one collection
to see the applications of the other, even when they're not going to be able to launch them anyway?
Does anyone have anything to add to the equation? Is there something I'm missing? Thanks ahead of time.

This is now resolved. There is obviously some additional configuration necessary in some relatively odd places when you want your RemoteApp collections to work as advertised. I hope this thread can help others in that regard.
The relevant (error) event generated for each "populate list of RemoteApps for Web Access" process (refreshing the web access portal was my test case), when my IIS application pool is provisioned by the new AD account is Event ID 10, Source: RDWebAccess.
In the body, it says "[...] unable to access rdcb1.[local]" and suggests that the RD Web Access server needs to be added to the TS Web Access Computers security group on the connection broker. However, that was obviously already the case.
Although not 100% correct in its suggested resolution, this error was helpful, because it shows that the break is occurring when Web Access tries to populate RemoteApps, and is shows that the break is occurring en-route to the CB server. So, I added
the new service account (for the Web Access application pool identity) to the Administrators group on the server with the CB role, and all is now resolved. I now have two separate collections, the list of each appearing for the appropriate user scopes,
but not for both user scopes like before.
Obviously, adding an account as an administrator fixes a lot of access related things very easily, but it is probably not the least-privileged way of doing things. To that end, I'd like to know the least privileged way, but can certainly live with
this much improved functionality as-is.
Thanks for all your help, Razwer.
