I was looking for info on whether you should have CU3 (or any CU) before upgrading to R2. Seems you just need SP1. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj822981.aspx#BKMK_UpgradeR2Checklist You cannot upgrade a site to System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager until all sites in the hierarchy run System Center 2012 Configuration Manager with SP1. The version of cumulative updates for Configuration Manager that are installed at sites is not evaluated and you can upgrade a System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SP1 site regardless of the cumulative update version that is installed, or even when no cumulative update is installed.
But wondering ... does R2 include everything from CU3 (and KB2894539) ? All I can find is ... http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/775700a7-7642-4c4b-8a30-033c41ed52df/cu3-before-r2?forum=configmanagergeneral Shane From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [mssms] SCCM 2012 R2 do you need CU3?

I can’t seem to find a definitive answer. If you install SCCM 2012 R2, do you still need CU3? Thank you.
