Dave 436 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Exactly what I didn't need two weeks before #meetup2013! I'll take it though. Love 8.1. Link to post Share on other sites
PCEddie 21 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Ditto, I have already started creating a list of parts I will need to upgrade my current WHS2011 box to handle Server 2012R2 Essentials and a few VMs. Link to post Share on other sites
KiwiGlen 0 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I'll be downloading this as soon as I get home from work. My big question is, what is the process for upgrading an existing server? From what I've seen an in-place upgrade isn't an option. So anybody got any ideas on what process to follow to upgrade an existing server with shares, clients and add-in already installed? I think I see some testing in the future....

msawyer91 16 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 And so Microsoft lied. Two weeks ago they were emphatic that MSDN and TechNet subscribers would not get early access to the RTM bits. But since they're available, I too and slurping them from the MSDN server at this very moment. It might be a few days before I get around to looking at them, but at least I will have Windows 8.1, Server 2012 Essentials R2 and Server 2012 R2 downloaded. KiwiGlen's comment about there not being a clear in-place upgrade path has me concerned. I don't want to rebuild my servers from scratch! Link to post Share on other sites
Jason 84 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Is there a Windows 8.1 Enterprise? Only see 8.1 Retail and 8.1 Pro Retail. Link to post Share on other sites
vinylfreak 46 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I've got 8.1 and R2 downloaded. This is after I spent all weekend tweaking my new Win 8 desktop! I hope the upgrade is smooth. I've been tweaking mine for over a month to fine tune it for the meetup. I'm with you Dave I hope this upgrade is smooth!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Big Worm 19 Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 Is there a Windows 8.1 Enterprise? Only see 8.1 Retail and 8.1 Pro Retail. They won't release that until the end of the month. Link to post Share on other sites
jcollison 25 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I am installing WS2012R2E right now in prep for the meetup! So glad it came early Link to post Share on other sites
Big Worm 19 Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 Migration from previous version. Basically build a new server and move everything over to it. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn408633.aspx Link to post Share on other sites
