we have &nbsp;a 2 tier sharepoint architecture, with one sql server as backend and one windows 2008 r2 server as IIS + Sharepoint frontend. we are in need to upgrade the OS of this front end server (to windows sevrer 2012 r2) . i was planning to create a new server on windows server 2012 r2 and have a new farm created on it (or is it better to join it to the existing farm) and then create a web applcaition on it with same URLS and point it to use the same content database (we will make the required DNS changes for URLs already in use to continue to work by pointing to the new server) . <br />
<br />
If you can pls advise if the above approach is fine or if there is any recommendation. <br />
