Hi Guys,

I want to update our Server from Windows 2008 R2 running GP to windows Server 2012 R2, will this affect GP in anyway does anyone know?

    Jerden -

    My gut on this one is Jonathan is right - 99 out of 100 times you're not going to encounter a problem.  The part of me that constantly tells my sons to "take time, NOT chances" would ask more questions.  

    Mainly - what GP components are installed on this machine?  

    Additionally, what is your "fall back strategy" should something go wrong.  If I were you, at a minimum, I would want to have a verified disaster recovery plan prior to pulling the trigger on this.  

    I personally would convert it to a Virtual Machine (this is a copy process, not a true conversion) and ensure I can start the VM on another device, prior to attempting this upgrade.

    Hi Jerden,

    I have had many people do this and they have experienced no problems. I personally had an issue with upgrading the OS on one of my internal machines but that is not to say you are going to run into that issue.
