    Hi,

    have currently W2K3 R2 STD SP2 32Bit. installed. I need to upgrade/reinstall to latest Server 2008 R2 64bit better 2012 64 bit. What would be the best solution? Any help would be GREAT.

    SEPM Version is 12.1.4023.4080

    SEP Client 12.1.2013.4013

     

    Thanks

    So your upgrading from 2008 r2 to 2012?

    You can follow the DR steps.

    Take a backup, remove SEPM, upgrade your server, install SEPM, apply DR procedure

     Seems that we just "upgrade" from 2003 to 2008. Server will have the same ip and same name, so just upgrade no fresh installation. So will that work with my versions?

    You need to first uninstall SEP, upgrade the OS, then re-install SEP
