Hi All

We have the following recovery plan in place (we have a CAS - PRI site) , we are upgrading our environment from SCCM 2012 R2 CU2 to SCCM 2012 R2 SP1 CU1 (and also the Driverbug hotfix 3084586)

1.  In case of a problem with the installation of SCCM 2012 R2 SP1 on our CAS or PRI

2.  Delete SCCM database on the server (on the failed "upgraded" server CAS or PRI) .

3.  Start SCCM 2012 setup on site server and select Recover Site option.

 Do I need to use the old (SCCM 2012 R2 Media and prerequisites) ???

4.  The option to recover site server will be greyed out since it is already installed.

5.  Specify SCCM backup location select the latest SCCM backup from backup folder (and of course the correct backup is selected)

6.  After a site database is restored from a backup, the Configuration Manager attempts to restore the changes in site and global data after the last database backup

(See http://technet.microsoft.com/library/gg712697.aspx)

7.  Complete Recovery wizard.

8.  Perform post-recovery tasks and verifications

My question is do I need to use the old media SCCM 2012 R2 to initiate the restore or do I need to use the SCCM 2012 R2 SP1 media

I hope someone can help me with this

Thx in advance

Regards

Johan

 

You should use the media that matches the version of the "database" IIRC. The recovery wizard will throw an error if you are using media that does not match the backup you want to restore.
