Has anybody currently managed to achieve an in-place upgrade of Server 2008 Standard R2 standard to Server 2012 Standard R2 using the evaluation copy (EC) of 2012R2 .
Microsoft migration map and documentation show it as possible.
The error message says it cant be done with the evaluation copy
Problem: No full ISO 2012R2 is available or accessible. "Catch 22"?
Microsoft CS advised: Purchase 2102R2 to get the download. I have a fully licenced MS Store copy of 2019 Server Essentials which they said does not allow for a full ISO copy of 2012R2.
