In-place upgrade from windows 2008 R2 to windows 2012

[Former Member]

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.

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

Hello

I  made  the upgrade from Windows 2008R2 to Windows 2012 R2 with the steps listed in the SAP Note 1494740 without problem

Just to take account , You should have SQL Server 2012 version
