We are currenlty running SQL 2008 R2 and would like to upgrade to SQL 2012 and like to know the best way or options to do this in order to reduce the impact to users. Our current SQL server is installed on a standalone server within our domain. However,
we also have a 5 node Hyper-V Cluster that runs our other VMs. I believe the one option is to perform an inplace upgrade. However, we are looking to do a fresh install of the OS with Windows 2012 since the current server is Windows 2008 R2.
Thx in advance for any assistance given.
