So we have recently purchased some software that turns out has some compatibility issues with SQL 2008 and have been advised by the software support guys that we need to upgrade from SQL 2008 to 2008 R2.
I have never done this before and i'm not even 100% sure where to start.
It is virtualized so I was planning on taking a snapshot image of the server incase I make a pigs ear of it. And also having a replicated one in a sandbox environment to test it out first.
Can I manually download the software I need anymore to do it or does it have to be done through a wizard?
Anyone got any useful pointers or things to look out for?
Thanks in advance.
Steve
