How many servers do you have besides your two primaries? Have you had anyone do an evaluation for you to look at cost savings of upgrading to CM2012 and implementing the content management vs licenses/maintenance/etc. for upgrading the existing server infrastructure?

We do want to go to 2012 and we want to use a peer 2 peer 3rd party application to eliminate our BDP’s. The problem is we currently do not have budget approval to do so and we cannot be out of support on our 2003 Server OS. This is why I am trying to gather information / others experiences with the process and present Mgt with the estimated work effort. This work estimate may or may not change the budget decision but at least we have given them the information needed to make a decision. I am sure you can understand my predicament, I would have to assume I am not alone and others would also benefit from this upgrade\migrate information.

We are currently running on Server 2003 and need to get to 2008R2 before EOL in June\July. I suppose a in place upgrade is not supported? I have suggested time and time again that we should put our efforts into SCCM 2012 but Mgt has not made a decision and time is running out. We have 2 primary sites with about 5000 clients and I am looking for a brief outline of the steps required to perform this upgrade with no loss of data \ production services – patching, software distribution, reporting etc… Some of my questions surround the following: • In what order should the upgrade take place ? Primary Parent site first? • Can I go from X86 server OS to X64 server OS. • Physical to Virtual supported • Sql Server versions, do they need to be the same (2005) • Drive configuration (Raid levels etc..) • Are there any gotchas that I should be looking at? If anyone has performed this task before and you are willing to share some tips or outline the steps that you have taken I would greatly appreciate it.
