Move SCCM2012R2 from Server 2008R2 to Server2012R2

[Kevin79]

I currently have SCCM 2012R2 installed on Server2008R2. It has local SQL 2008R2 with a bunch of roles (Reporting services, asset intelligence, software update, endpoint protection, application catalog, distribution point, component server, site database, management point, site system and site server). The SCCM server has about 20 remote distribution points hanging off of it. How do I move the server to 2012R2? Would I need to reinstall the distribution points?

Why don't you just upgrade the server to Windows 2012 R2? What is your issue?

I think SCCM and WSUS aren't playing nice.

 

I would like to change so that my server install is fresh, the name conforms to our new standard and I want to move to a new version of SQL. The computer name isn't a big deal though.

I think SCCM and WSUS aren't playing nice.

What makes you think that?

[Kevin79]

I can't get it to sync and it keeps eating my processor.

Can I upgrade SQL to 2014 if I upgrade the server to 2012R2?

Have you seen Kent's blog post? http://blog.coretech.dk/kea/house-of-cardsthe-configmgr-software-update-point-and-wsus/

 

Sure why wouldn't you be able to upgrade to SQL 2014?
