Hi Esteemed IT Folk
My question is as follows ,I have been tasked with upgrading some of out windows 2008r2 servers to 2012 ,I would like to do a in place upgrade on them which seems fairly straightforward to do.
If I were to clone the server before I upgrade it and then shut down the cloned server ,I could attempt the upgrade and see how it all goes .If there is a problem I can shutdown the failed upgrade and go about life as usual with my clone?
Would this be the best was to go about this ? Perhaps I could just take a snapshot and revert the the server to the snapshot that was taken before the upgrade?
Many thanks ,for your time
Clint..
