Upgrade / Migration from Dynamics CRM 2016 OnPremise to Dynamics 365 OnPremise

Posted on by 689

Hi people.

I have a multiple deployment of a CRM 2016 (Web Server, App Server, BD Server). The BD Server is SQL Server 2014.

As I would like to perform an upgrade, and know the 'software requeriments for Dyn 365 On Premise' are:

  • Microsoft SQL Server 2017 Enterprise1
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2017 Standard1
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2017 Developer (for non-production use only)1
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Enterprise, with Service Pack 2
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Standard, with Service Pack 2
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Developer, with Service Pack 2 (for non-production use only)

So my questions:

1-should I install all new 3 servers again for Dyn 365?

or 

2-Should I install Only Database Server with the new version of SQL that supports Dyn 365?, and the rest (2) of the servers (only upgrade with the 'fix update'.

Please your kind help.

Thank you.

    Hi Roxana,

    Both of the above approaches are correct.

    However I would recommend option 1. This way you get a fresh installation and in case of any issues you can avoid downtime of the application as the users can still log into the old environment until you fix the new one.

    Regards,

    Radu
