An in-place OS upgrade isn't support with for a ConfigMgr site server or site 
system (unless its 2012 to 2012R2). To be supported, that needs to be a backup 
and restore. Thus, each one of these steps should be treated separately and 
done one at a time with time (like days) in between. I would do the ConfigMgr 
upgrade first, then OS, and then SQL. I probably wouldn't even do the SQL 
upgrade as it doesn't buy you anything really but if you're determined to get 
off an older version of SQL you could but definitely do it last because full 
support comes with ConfigMgr 2012 R2 SP1 and I don't know off-hand whether 
Server 2008 R2 even supports 2014.

Subject: [mssms] Upgrade path from 2012 SP1

I asked this before, and I had a project that ended up getting back-burnered.  
Since then, there have already been numerous updates, and I need to revisit 
this issue.  My environment is:


1)      Single Primary site, with 14 secondary sites around the state.

2)      Running Server 2008R2

3)      Running SQL 2008R2

4)      Running SCCM 2012 SP1

I want to upgrade.  I want to end up with:

Server 2012R2
SQL 2014
SCCM 2012 R2 SP1 (or whatever is latest by that time)


Before, the plan was to upgrade in-place to the end result SCCM, then migrate 
to another server that had been setup with the end result OS, SQL and SCCM.  Is 
that still the best plan, or is there another school of thought?

Thanks,
