This has been resolved, thanks though. Ultimately spent a couple hours on the phone with MS and had to make a couple DB changes to make the 'Upgrade' option reappear. The initial failure happened b/c it couldn't stop one of the components (distmgr if I remember correctly) which I saw in the logs, just couldn't figure out how to get the option to upgrade instead of 'Retry Secondary Site' to show.

The part with the errors is enough. Maybe the I'll could help you... From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Wilbers, Scott Sent: Dienstag, 22. Oktober 2013 18:45 To: '[email protected]' Subject: [mssms] ConfigMgr R2 Secondary Site Upgrade failed I have upgraded our primary site to R2 successfully. I went to upgrade our two secondary sites and the first one was successful but the second one failed. Is there a way to retry the upgrade process? The only somewhat valid option I see are 'Retry Secondary Site', but that wants to do a full install of the Secondary site and will fail on the Prereq check b/c of an existing site server installation. Every google search I do comes back with completely removing the site/server from the heirarchy, but I have several DPs under this secondary site and my assumption is that by removing the Secondary site, it will also remove all of the DPs underneath that site (please correct me if I am wrong on this assumption). Any assistance or suggestions would be very much appreciated.
