Upgrade Servers that Solarwinds Software is on.

highstone351

How does one upgrade a WinServer 2008 R2 to Win Server 2012 and then 2016 with Solarwinds Products already on the server?

I really do not want to have to build a whole new server for each product and then HOPE that I can get all of the addresses correct for NTA and other products.

I have tried doing it once to no avail due to some sort of Certificate error.

I have a ticket in to Support as well.

Hi Mark,

Maybe you can use the SolarWinds High Availability as a backup plan should your Windows OS upgrades have any negative effects:

How to Migrate Orion to a New Server With Zero Downtime

I would do it in steps. Upgrade 2008 to 2012 -> upgrade Orion -> upgrade 2012 to 2016 -> upgrade Orion again

Best regards,
