Our current Window server is 2016, but for this upgrade we want it to be done on window server 2022. Here is my question - Is it possible to upgrade the enterprise portal 10.8.1 with window server 2016 to window server 2022 without breaking anything in the current environment before upgrading to 10.9.1.</P> Thu, 23 Jan 2025 03:52:25 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-questions/enterprise-portal-and-server-upgrade-from-10-8-1/m-p/1578094#M41485 Abi 2025-01-23T03:52:25Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-questions/enterprise-portal-and-server-upgrade-from-10-8-1/m-p/1578142#M41489 <P>Here are some other posts that discuss this same workflow:</P><UL><LI><A href="https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-questions/perform-an-in-place-upgrade-of-windows-server-2016/td-p/1150775" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-questions/perform-an-in-place-upgrade-of-windows-server-2016/td-p/1150775</A></LI><LI><A href="https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-questions/in-place-upgrade-from-windows-server-2016-to-2022/td-p/1292547" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-questions/in-place-upgrade-from-windows-server-2016-to-2022/td-p/1292547</A></LI></UL><P>I would first say to make sure that you have a full and VERIFIED backup of the machine before performing any upgrade like this.</P> Thu, 23 Jan 2025 11:31:16 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-questions/enterprise-portal-and-server-upgrade-from-10-8-1/m-p/1578142#M41489 George_Thompson 2025-01-23T11:31:16Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-questions/enterprise-portal-and-server-upgrade-from-10-8-1/m-p/1578199#M41492 <P>Thank you for your comment, George.</P><P>When you say back up, you mean like a snapshot of the server?</P> Thu, 23 Jan 2025 14:35:15 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-questions/enterprise-portal-and-server-upgrade-from-10-8-1/m-p/1578199#M41492 Abi 2025-01-23T14:35:15Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-questions/enterprise-portal-and-server-upgrade-from-10-8-1/m-p/1578206#M41493 <P>Snapshot works. Really it depends on your IT setup.<BR /><BR />The important thing is to have a backup of the machine before the upgrade that is NOT stored on the same VM (yes, this happens all the time....)</P> Thu, 23 Jan 2025 14:49:33 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-questions/enterprise-portal-and-server-upgrade-from-10-8-1/m-p/1578206#M41493 George_Thompson 2025-01-23T14:49:33Z
