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.

  • 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?

    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.

  • Server 2012 In-place upgrade to 2012 R2 error. Error upgrading: Setup can't continue. Restart the computer and restart Setup. When prompted, try getting the latest updates

    Trying to upgrade server 2012 with RDS role on it, to server 2012 R2.
    It stays for a while on step "Collecting files, settings, and applications 0%"
    and then returns the error:
    Error upgrading: Setup can't continue. Restart the computer and restart Setup. When prompted, try getting the latest update
    Installed all the latest updates, rebooted, also tried to to run setup with local admin, still the same.
    Setup logs contain user profile related errors:

    I was able to get past "Collecting files, settings, and applications 0%" by disabling user profile disks, but then on reboot I got another error:

  • In Place Upgrade WSUS windows 2008 R2 into windows server 2012

    Hi Team,
    i had question. I have windows server 2008 R2 and installed WSUS role at that server.
    Can I do inplace upgrade into windows server 2012 std edition?
    is there any impact into wsus services?
    thanks

    If it is not a DC, upgrade should be easy. And there shouldn’t be any problems.
    The question was about upgrading a WSUS server, and regardless of whether it's a DC or not, it most emphatically will not be problem free. In fact, it's flat out not possible! On WS2012 the upgrade will be blocked if WSUS v3 is present,
    and on WS2012R2 it will corrupt the WSUS installation beyond repair requiring a reinstallation of the operating system.
    Please review the
    WSUS v6 documentation regarding upgrade requirements.
    Warning
    Upgrade from any version of Windows Server that supports WSUS 3.2 to Windows Server® 2012 R2 requires that you first uninstall WSUS 3.2.
    In Windows Server 2012, upgrading from any version of Windows Server with WSUS 3.2 installed is blocked during the installation process if WSUS 3.2 is detected, and you are prompted to first uninstall Windows Server Update Services prior to upgrading Windows
    Server 2012.
    However, because of changes in Windows Server 2012 R2, when upgrading from any version of Windows Server and WSUS 3.2 to Windows Server 2012 R2, the installation is not blocked. Failure to uninstall WSUS 3.2 prior to performing a Windows Server 2012 R2 upgrade
    will cause the post installation tasks for WSUS in Windows Server 2012 R2 to fail. In this case, the only known corrective measure is to format the hard drive and reinstall Windows Server 2012 R2.

  • Upgrade from Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 to Windows Server 2012 R2

    Hi, I was trying to setup a new DC for our company, originally it's DC is Windows Server 2003 SP2, we decided not tomigrate it and instead build a new one from scratch which is Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. I was able to set it up, perform windows updates,
    added roles, perform Domains and Trusts, etc
    When suddenly our global standards shifted to Windows Server 2012 R2, so instead of creating another server from scratch, this is the time to upgrade from 2k8 to 2K12 R2, besides the MAPtool which I've downloaded to check for prerequisites, etc, are there
    other things I need to be aware of? backups? etc.
    Regards,
    Jeff
     

    Hi,
    You can
    insert Windows Server 2012 R2 DVD into the DVD-ROM and click onRun
    Setup.exe. You can refer to the link below:

  • Windows server 2012: migration from 2012 standard evaluation version to 2012R2

    Hello.
    Is it possible то migrate
    FROM: windows server 2012 standard evaluation
    TO: windows server 2012R2 standard
    And if it is possible then "how to"?
    Activation product key for 2012 is NOT available. 
    Activation product key (MAK, "open licence") for 2012R2 is available. 
    The key for 2012R2 does not "open" 2012 evaluation version.
    Thanks.

    Upgrade means moving from your existing operating system release to a more recent release, while staying on the same hardware. For example, if your server is running Windows Server 2012, you can upgrade it to Windows Server 2012 R2. You
    can upgrade from an evaluation version of the operating system to a retail version, from an older retail version to a newer version, or, in some cases, from a volume-licensed edition of the operating system to an ordinary retail edition.

  • 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

    I did check the article. I did the ADPREP as described and adprep worked fine. Unfortunately it did not make any difference. Log entries below:

  • In-place upgrade: Windows Server 2012 to 2012 R2

    I have a Windows Server 2012 physical server running Exchange Server 2013.   Microsoft has stated that Exchange Server 2013 Service Pack 1 (or CU4 in the new parlance) will finally allow Exchange Server 2013 to support Windows Server 2012 R2.  
    Although Exchange SP1 has not yet been released, I want to do some advance effort planning.   If I apply Exchange SP1, will I be able to run an in-place setup/upgrade to Windows Server 2012 R2?  Thanks.

    Hi,
    Since Windows Server 2012 R2 is not currently listed as a supported OS platform for Exchange 2013, it is
    not recommended to update the OS on your Exchange servers to Windows server 2012 R2 at the present. For more detailed information, please refer to the link below:

  • Problems PXE booting Gen 2 Virtual Machines after Upgrading to Windows Server 2012 R2

    My Current Setup: 
    I have two virtual machines set up with Hyper V on my Windows Server 2012 Server.
    VM1: Configured to boot from an ISO file and runs Clonezilla server. 
    VM2: Configured to PXE boot using a legacy network adapter, and with a passthrough 250Gb hard disk. 
    These two VMs are connected to an external Virtual Switch, which allows physical machines to PXE boot to the Clonezilla server. 
    For the past few months I have been using this setup for two purposes:
    1. To clone physical machines to the Clonezilla virtual server (as a backup).
    2. To restore those image to the second VM if I find that need to get access to the files on the original image.. 
    This has worked perfectly, except for the fact that the speed of the legacy network adapter on the second VM (which is required to PXE boot) is very slow. But I know this is because of the limitations in how the legacy adapter works... 
    Now my problem:
    I found out that Gen 2 VMs allow you to PXE boot without having use a legacy network adapter, allowing me to image back to the VM faster. So I upgraded the Server to Server 2012 R2 . I then created the same two virtual machines on the R2 server. I can still
    PXE boot the Gen 1 VM to the Clonezilla Server but I cannot get the Gen 2 VMs to PXE boot properly. They get an IP address from the Clonezilla Server but then just stop with the following screen. (note: I have disabled the Secure Boot). 
    Are Gen 2 VMs unable to pull down images from anything other than a WDS Server? 

    Hi J,
    >>Unfortunately WDS is not a solution for us as it is dependent on the PC being part of a domain
    If you would like to make the client not join to the domain, please check the box before “Do not join the client to a domain after an installation.”  In addition, make sure not to set the client to the domain in the unattend file and do not prestage
    the computer in AD. "

  • [Forum FAQ]How to upgrade Windows Server 2008 R2 with a GUI to Windows Server 2012 Server Core

    We found that some customers willing to upgrade Windows Server 2008 R2 GUI to Windows Server 2012 Server Core recently. This article provides detailed steps to perform the upgrade.
    Analysis
    Upgrading from Windows Server 2008 R2 with a GUI installation to Windows Server 2012 with Server Core directly
    is not supported. If you do that, you will receive the error message below(Figure 1) in Compatibility report: 
    Figure 1.
    In these scenario, you can upgrade to Windows Server 2012 firstly. After the upgrade process is completed, you can switch freely between Server Core and Server with a GUI modes.
    Produces
    You can follow the steps below to perform an upgrade from Windows Server 2008 R2 with a GUI installation to Windows Server 2012 Server Core mode:
    1. Upgrade to Windows Server 2012 with a GUI mode
    1) Firstly, please boot into Windows Server 2008 R2 with a Windows Server 2012 installation DVD inserted.
    2) Select the operating system you want to install with a GUI mode.
    We can see 2 options (Server Core Installation or Server with a GUI) for each operating system version. (Figure 2)
    Figure 2.
    Note: Please make sure you have enough disk space on system partition. Or you will get such an error in Compatibility report.(Figure 3)
    Figure 3.
    After the Compatibility check, the installation will continue. It will take several minutes until upgrading is done.(Figure 4)
    Figure 4.
    2. Switch the GUI mode to Server Core
    Method 1: Using Server Manager
    1) Open Server Manager, click
    Manger and select “Remove Roles and Features” to start the
    Remove Roles and Features Wizard.
    2) In Features,
    uncheck the box next to the “User Interfaces and Infrastructure” option, and then click “Next”. (Figure 5)
    Figure 5.
    Now tick the “Restart the destination Server automatically if required” box, then click “Remove”. (Figure 6)
    Figure 6.
    Method 2: Using Windows PowerShell
    There are multiple ways to remove the GUI via Windows PowerShell, we introduce the way of using the ServerManager module.
    You can also run the commands in Windows PowerShell with an administrator to remove the GUI feature:
    “Import-Module ServerManager”
    “Uninstall-Windowsfeature Server-Gui-Shell –Restart”
    or
    “Uninstall-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Shell, Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra –Restart”
    It will take a period of time to remove the GUI feature and reboot. When the system boots up, you will get into the Windows Server 2012 with Server Core mode. (Figure 7)
    Figure 7.

  • Upgrading Cluster To Windows Server 2012 R2

    My previous thread was closed so here is a new one.
    I have a 4 Hyper-V host failover cluster (R720s) running Windows Server 2012 Datacenter, which is connected to a SAN where the CSVs are stored. I have a 5th R720 server on which I have installed Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter from scratch. I have installed
    the Hyper-V and Failover Cluster roles on it as well. It is can see the SAN.
    Questions:
    1. To setup the Hyper-V virtual switch on the 5th server, should I join it to the existing Server 2012 Hyper-V failover cluster and create the virtual switch then? Or should I create the virtual switch on the 5th server, with the same settings as the virtual
    switch in the Hyper-V failover cluster, before adding it to the failover cluster?
    2. Can I add the 5th server to the existing Hyper-V cluster, migrate virtual machines from Hyper-V host #1 to the 5th server, install Virtual Guest Services on the virtual machines which have been migrated to the 5th server, drain roles from Hyper-V host
    #1 and perform an in-place upgrade on Hyper-V host #1, once the in-place upgrade is complete, fail the roles back to Hyper-V host #1.
    Please advise.
    Thanks,

    Just and FYI, it is now called a witness disk.  Yes, it does provide a quorum function from time to time, but with the new dynamic quorum model it is not always used as a quorum.
    There are multiple ways to move the VMs from 2012 to 2012 R2.  Here are three.  A little searching of TechNet and you will most likely find some others.
    One of the new capabilities is to live migrate the VM from 2012 to 2012 R2.  This involves storage migration across the network, so if you have lots of VMs and not a lot of bandwidth, this can be painful.  But it is the only way to ensure no downtime
    of a VM, so it could be used selectively.
    If you can take some downtime on the VMs, you can use something like VeeamZip -
    http://www.veeam.com/virtual-machine-backup-solution-free.html
    Another method that requires some downtime is to use a step-by-step guide that Microsoft published for moving from 2008 R2 cluster to a 2012 cluster.  Even though you are going 2012 to 2012 R2, it works exactly the same.
