Let’s learn SCCM secondary server upgrade to 2107 version. Microsoft released the latest SCCM version, 2107. If you have many secondary servers in the SCCM environment, you need to plan the SCCM site server upgrade well in advance.

I don’t think you need to take any backup of the secondary server. Most of the time, it’s easy to complete the upgrade process. You don’t need to worry much about what will happen if the SCCM upgrade fails. The recovery of the secondary server is a straightforward process.

You can use the recovery options if you get into the issue while upgrading the configuration manager secondary site server. I don’t think you need to worry about any SCCM configuration. You can also check out my top 5 features of SCCM 2107.

Let’s understand whether you need to upgrade the secondary server or not. I have already upgraded the primary server to 2107, and the version you can see in the below screenshot. However, the secondary server is still with the old version of ConfigMgr.

Secondary Server Upgrade Warning

The following are some of the warnings I got during the SCCM secondary server upgrade prerequisites checks. I have a blog post talks about How to Fix SCCM 2107 Prerequisite Errors Warnings. You can ignore the warnings and proceed with the upgrade.

  • [Warning]:Configuration Manager requires SQL Server to reserve a minimum of 8 gigabytes (GB) of memory for the central administration site and primary site and a minimum of 4 gigabytes (GB) for the secondary site. This memory is reserved by using the Minimum server memory setting under Server Memory Options and is configured by using SQL Server Management Studio.
  • [Warning]:SQL Server is configured for unlimited memory usage. You should configure SQL Server memory to have a maximum limit.
  • [Warning]:Configuration Manager detects the site database has a backlog of SQL change tracking data.
  • [Warning]:The site server might be unable to publish to Active Directory. The computer account for the site server must have Full Control permissions to the System Management container in its Active Directory domain. You can ignore this warning if you have manually verified these permissions.
  • [Warning]:Configuration Manager requires at least .NET version 4.6.2, but recommends the latest version 4.8. A later version of Configuration Manager will require .NET version 4.8. To minimize disruption, before you run Configuration Manager setup, update .NET and restart the system.

You can check the console status from the Show Install Status as the first phase of the troubleshooting. The second phase of the troubleshooting should be done via the log files on the secondary server.
