SCCM 2012 SP1 to SCCM SP2 upgrade

Hi Leo,

You mean SP1 to R2? If not, you should be.

Note SP1 is a *new product* in MS eyes:

https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/enterprisemobility/2014/03/24/configuration-manager-servicing-update/
"From a servicing perspective, consider System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SP1 and System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager as two separate products"

Once you are on the R2 service line, you can go 1511, 1602, etc. which makes life a lot easier as the update is "in" console.

As for upgrade plan: .

1. Update your OS with Windows updates
2. Reboot so nothing is pending
3. Do a SQL backup of your Site DB
4. Do a test upgrade of the Site DB
5. Ref: http://www.scconfigmgr.com/2013/09/09/perform-a-test-upgrade-of-the-database-before-configmgr-2012-r2-installation/

Now do the upgrade by running setup.

Mike

Thanks, do a setup of what?
Also would it wipe out the current SCCM settings or would it let it migrate?

"System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SP1 and System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager as two separate products"
If they are two separate products, will mean they will have two different licenses? so if we have SCCM SP1, we need a new license for SCCM 2012 R2?
