Shouldn’t be much of a difference with the CAS. Upgrade CAS then Upgrade Primaries.

Why would you stand up a whole new site, migrate nearly everything – not everything can actually be migrated – redeploy all of the clients, redeploy content or fight with shared DPs, etc., etc. A backup and restore can be done easily within a day, tests your DR procedures in the process, and doesn’t require you to reconfigure anything.

I would never recommend a migration unless you have some external constraint. Upgrading SQL in-place is almost trivial and works quite well. Upgrading ConfigMgr in-place works well as well. If you want to build new, site backup and restore to the new server is the best path and involves the least disruption. You can perform all of your in-place upgrades on the existing server and then backup and restore to the new server with like version of everything installed but no remnants of anything old.

It runs on a Server 2012 (nonR2) server with SQL 2012 on box. We also run WSUS 3 and MDT (latest) on the same box. We also have three Server 2012 R2 servers running DP’s (including PXE) and MP’s. We need to make the move to SCCM CB, for obvious reasons, and I’m wondering what the consensus would be on a migration strategy. Do we attempt to update the server to R2, and then update SCCM, and the various pieces (SQL, MDT, etc.) after that. Or is it advisable to build a new 2012 R2 server (2016?) and try and migrate over to it? I’m looking to minimize downtime (who doesn’t). I’m a little concerned about running numerous upgrades, sometimes it’s like rolling dice, but if that’s the best route I’ll do that. I’d love to build new if possible, I just don’t know how complex that would make the migration and if that would take longer. I should mentioned our Db had some minor corruption a few times, requiring repair with data loss. From what we gathered, it was due to the fact we were gathering too much process data which was filling up the Db quite a bit. Once we removed the amount of info that was being gathered from processes, the Db size went down and the corruption ended. Just looking for some pointers from anyone who has done this already, thanks!
