Curious how everyone is handling this scenario? Working on scoping out multiple engagements where a client desires to upgrade from SCCM 2012 to v1511, but their Primary Site Server is running 2008R2 as the OS. From what I am reading, 2008R2 will not be supported as a Site Server OS after October of 2016. (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt210917.aspx)
It seems that recommending a new hierarchy, and doing a side by side migration is the safest way to go, however I am seeing some people (Jason S) recommending a backup and restore on to a 2012R2 OS. I can't find anything stating where this is a supported action by Microsoft. Thoughts?
