I never fear SQL CUs. Those SQL folks are the most brilliant of all Microsoft engineers. No reboots needed either. I just put CU3 for SQL 2014 on 2 sites today with no issues. The SQL guys are so good that they should just take over the OS too. :)

Order doesn't matter as all ConfigMgr cares about is SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2. I would spread them out though (like by weeks) and make them separate tasks - doing too many thing in short order makes it harder to isolate and troubleshoot if a problem does exist.

Thanks for the comments! Trevor - I am upgrading from SQL 2008 R2 SP2 CU0. Jason - Was wondering if there exists a particular order of update, CU level of SQL first or R2 upgrade of SCCM first on any particular box. (I am aware of the top-down update strategy for SCCM.)

Mark, What version are you upgrading the SQL Server from? Just curious. SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 CU13 is supported by all versions of Configuration Manager 2012 (RTM, SP1, R2), for all Site Databases (CAS, Primary, Secondary). http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682077.aspx#BKMK_SupConfigSQLDBconfig Cheers, Trevor Sullivan Microsoft PowerShell MVP [cid:[email protected]]<http://mms.mnscug.org/> From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mears, Mark Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2014 7:36 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [mssms] SQL2008 R2 SP2 CU13 Supported? I have a few questions about this. Customer has SCCM 2012 SP1 at this time and will be upgrading to SCCM 2012 R2 as a part of this engagement. * Is SQL 2008 R2 SP2 CU13 supported for use in CAS and primary sites in a hierarchy? * Am I OK upgrading SQL Server first or should I wait until the sites are at the R2 level and then update SQL?
