In-Place OS Upgrade on SCOM Roles - Any Issues?
All of my SCOM roles are on separate machines. I wish to upgrade the OS from Win2003 to Win2008 beginning with the RMS. The RMS, OpsMgr DB, and OpsMgrDW DB are on their own physical servers, and the secondary MSs, gateways, consoles are on their own virtual servers. Has anyone experienced bad results? Is this recommended? Thank You.

Hey John The main issues for me was the web server. IIS changed a fair bit since 2003. I think in your situation I would upgrade my MS first. If it goes fine Id then move to the RMS. If you did have any issues you could move the agents to report into the RMS while this process is ongoing. another option is to introduce a fresh sever 2008, make it a MS and move servers onto it.... The only time I did OS upgrades it was all virtual and I used snapshots as a fall back but didnt need it Paul Keely
