Hello,

we run CRM 2013 with the newest updates on Windows Server 2012. With Updaterollup 2 Version 6.0.23 it does support Windows Server 2012 R2 and because it is the only 2012 OS in our environment we want to upgrade this VM.

It would be nice to do an inplace upgrade of the server OS, so we don't have to install CRM 2013 again and configure it.

Are there any documentation or experience of upgrading the server OS which runs the CRM server?

Best regards

Burak

I have tried Windows Server upgrade to R2 before and CRM server continued to function properly. In addition to the usual caveats such as full back-ups including the actual VM if possible, I would also suggest a test upgrade. You can for example sysprep this VM and try to upgrade the OS and make sure you got all issues resolved before applying it on your current VM.
