Upgrade from windows 2008 R2 to windows 2012 and Quorum

Dear Sir.
I am going to upgrade hyper-v cluster of 4 nodes 2008 r2 to windows 2012 hyper-v cluster.
i am going to evict tow node and build new cluster.
should I configure new quorum for new cluster or can i use the the quorum from old system ?
thanks

Hi,
Base on my experience, you need create a new cluster when you choose migrate the cluster, so you need the new witness disk.

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

I performed an in-place upgrade from 64-bit Server 2008 R2 to Server 2012 R2. This machine ran Active Directory Web Services. After the upgrade ADWS will not start. I get the following event log error:

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.

Upgraded from server 2008 r2 to server 2012 r2 standard and nothing is working

I'm actually working on putting together a server using Server 2012 r2 as well, but we tested everything on it prior to launch and are now in the migration phase with only one application not cooperating: Exchange 2010...If you have another functional server running to keep DirSynch going with, would definitely suggest either upgrading something or downgrading another to allow for compatibility issues.We're going to keep using Exchange 2010 on the server it's installed on until we can upgrade it to 2013, otherwise if we moved it while everything else is moving, we will lose email altogether and end up with a lot of angry users...Certainly a lot of compatibility issues regarding server OSes I'm finding in my 1.5 years working here so far... I'm quickly learning the importance of researching these kinds of issues, So hey, welcome to...

Hi Everyone
I am desperate, I have upgraded a server to 2012 and it appears to stop DirSync from running. I can't uninstall the program because it doesn't launch the uninstall program from the control panel. I get an error message

Upgrade from SSRS 2008 to visual studio 2012/2013

Hello,
Is it possible to upgrade Visual Studio BIDS file/project types from 2008R2 to 2012/2013:
SSRS *.sln
SSIS * .dtsx
*.dbproj
If it is possible, can the resulting (upgraded) 2012/2013 file/projects be back-ended in 2008R2 SQL Server database engine?
Or is it necessary to have the version of the back-end SQL Server database engine match the version of the VS BIDS projects?
thanks,

Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 does not support Business Intelligence Development Studio Integration Services, Report Services and Analysis Services projects for SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2.
To work around this issue, you can install Visual Studio 2008 alongside Visual Studio 2010 on the same machine and then open the Business Intelligence Development Studio projects in Visual Studio 2008.
(we have to follow side-by-side installation of SQL Server 2012 and SQL Server 2008. since you may have
some issues with BIDS.)

SharePoint 2013 Server OS upgrade from Windows 2008 R2 to Windows 2012 R2

Is it possible to have SharePoint 2013 farm to have mixed version of OS (Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 2012 R2).
We have a request to upgrade our farm servers from WIN 2008 R2 to Win 2012 R2. We have 5 servers in farm -
2 App servers - running with Central Admin, Service Applications, User Profile
3 Web Front End Servers- running web application, search and workflow manager
the database layer is separate on sql 2012 R2
We want to upgrade OS from windows 2008 R2 to windows 2012 R2 and SQL to SQL 2014.
What will be right approach to do OS upgrade in above scenario to minimize the impact of downtime.
May be add windows 2012 based servers in farm one by one and replace the windows 2008 R2 based servers from server.
Regards,
Kunal Abrol

Its possible, but I wouldn't recommend it. The problem is that you can only install SharePoint 20103 on Windows Server 2012 r2 using the slipstreamed SP1 version. I assume that you used the regular version to install on you Server 2008 r2 versions.
Even if you upgrade those servers to SP1 there are some minor differences in the builds between slipstreamed SP1 and upgraded SP1. So although it will work it isn't recommended.
Also, you should be aware the upgrade of inplace SharePoint servers running Windows 2008 r2 to Windows 2012 r2 is not supported.
To upgrade to server 2012 you'll need to add 2012 servers to your environment using the slipstreamed version os SharePoint and then remove the old server 2008 r2 servers as soon as possible. For the period of the upgrade you should be able to get away
with running the farm in a mixed state.

Steps to upgrade from sql 2008 r2 se (nonclustered) to sql 2012 se (clustered)

hello,
I am currently running a non clustered instance of a sqlserver 2008 R2 SE and need to upgrade to a clustered instance of SQLServer 2012 SE. The underlying OS is Windows 2008 R2 SE. I already bought the second server with the same os online but havent installed
sql 2012 yet.
I am thinking of backing up my databases and script out all the logins and linked servers first.
Then upgrade the SQLServer 2008 R2 SE to 2012 SE. But can I upgrade it to a clustered instance directly? If yes then I can definitely add the other server to the cluster while installing sql.
Can someone point me to the right steps for this upgrade process
Thanks

Hello,
Direct upgrade to cluster is not possible without installing SQL server in cluster aware mode. I would recommend you need to uninstall SQL server 2008 R2 and then create windows cluster between two nodes and then install SQL server in cluster aware
mode.
You are right with taking up complete backup of all databases with logins and jobs.

WSUS hinders OS upgradation from win 2008 R2 Sp1 to Win 2012 STD

Hi Experts,
i have a server with WSUS role on win 2008 R2 Sp. While upgrating its OS to Win 2012 STD, it undergoes in complatibity check and displays to uninstall WSUS before proceding. Is it necesaaring to remove the role and continue the installation
? Is there any other way to over come this problem , other that removing the role and re-assigning after OS upgradation ?

Hi,
As far as I know, Windows Server Update Services 3.0 SP2 cannot be installed on Windows 2012, so I suggest you uninstall it, and then migrate WSUS to V6, please also go through the below threads for more helpful information:

Inplace upgread Windows 2008 R2 to Windows 2012

Hello,
I am testing inplace upgrade from Windows 2008 R2 to Windows 2012 R2. My test server is Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise, Evaluation and is a domain controller. I tried to perform an inplace upgrade, however it failed. The compatibility report says that
Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise cannot be upgraded to Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter Evaluation (Server with GUI).
I also update the schema first. It went fain and it was completed without error.
Thank you.

Hi,
Based on my experience, it is not supported to upgrade
from a Windows server evaluation version to another Windows server evaluation version. If you want to use Windows server 2012 R2 Datacenter evaluation version, you need to delete the previous operate system and perform a clean installation. Or
you can convert the evaluation version of Windows Server 2008 R2 to a full retail version and then upgrade it to Windows server 2012 R2 Datacenter version.
For more detailed information, please refer to the link below:

Migration of AlwaysON database from WSFC 2008 + SQL2012 to WSFC 2012 + SQL2014

Hello All,
I have a 6 node GEO cluster, 4 nodes in primary site + 2 nodes in secondary site. In the primary node 03 and 04 has 2 pair of SQL instances default + named.
I am planning to move the named SQL pair from WSFC 2008 + SQL2012 TO WSFC 2012 + SQL2014. It has only one AG group with 4 TB of DBs.
Do you guys have any experience and options for this migration. I am planning to go with backup/restore. Let me share yours inputs.
1. Backup/restore 2. cross cluster migration 3.Detach/attach 4. SAN migration
Thanks!
Muthukkumaran Kaliyamoorthy
Helping SQL DBAs and Developers >>> SqlserverBlogForum

Since WSFC does not support rolling upgrades, you will need to have another WSFC running Windows Server 2012/R2 (R2 is highly recommended due to the features available for maintaining high availability) and do a cross-cluster migration. Refer to this documentation
for more details.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj873730.aspx
This requires that you're fairly comfortable with PowerShell.
The main challenge here is dealing with hardware resources since you will need additional servers when moving into the new WSFC. You would have to run multiple instances on the same cluster node while you remove a node and repurpose it for WSFC 2012/R2.
This is where proper planning is very important to make sure you are maximizing your resources while minimizing downtime. I cannot speak about the capabilities of your SAN as each vendor will have different features but my approach has always been dependent
on SLAs and recovery objectives. Backup/restore will still be needed to synchronize your data from the old WSFC to the target WSFC.

Upgrade the SCVMM 2008 R2 to SCVMM 2012 R2

I am suggesting you to fresh install OS and SCVMM 2012 R2 in different server. Once you install and configured SCVMM 2012 R2 then disconnect One by one Hyper-V servers from SCVMM2008
and add in SCVMM2012 R2.
For testing purpose disconnect non critical Hyper-V server and added to SCVMM 2012 R2.

Move Distribution point from Server 2008 R2 to Server 2012 R2

We have to upgrade one of sccm server 2008 R2 to server 2012 R2 on new box
Server 2008 R2 is a Distribution Point
I need to figure out right steps to move content and packages to new server and rather distributing all packages
Need to figure out any specific steps for upgrading from Server 2008 to Server 2012 before turning off DP.
We planing to use same Ip and server name and turn off and replace old server.
I would appreciate any help..
Thanks
RJ
RJ09

As a side note here, I would *not* use the same name. This will be a *new* DP and thus should be treated as such. You'll simply be migrating the content and re-adding it (the DP) to the same boundary groups as the old DP. You'll then retire the old
DP. The IP Address doesn't matter here.

If you migrated all the info from time machine to your new MBP. The TM will usually ask to connect to the old backups.. sorry I am not sure is this what you want to do.. Personally I think you start a fresh backup.
BTW Time Capsule does not do anything.. it is a dumb hard disk in a box.. it is TM that does everything.
Look at B5 and B6 here about connecting to your backup.
