Summary :
This SAP Note discusses upgrade paths for SAP systems running on older Windows Server versions. It clarifies that direct OS upgrades are unsupported by Microsoft when third-party applications like SAP are installed. Instead, system copies to newer OS versions are required. For systems on Windows Server 2003 desiring to upgrade to Server 2008 or Server 2008 R2, and from Server 2008 to Server 2008 R2, a system copy method is advised. This note also details the incompatibility of new installations of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR1 and SR2 on Windows Server 2008 (R2). Operation on newer versions requires upgrading SAP components to certain levels and checking SAP Note references for specific database versions. For high availability configurations using Windows Server Fail foncer Clustering, refer to SAP Note 1490337.
