Our current setup is Windows Server 2008R2 with SCOM 2007R2 CU4. All the agents including linux and windows are running 2007 client. We have 2 gateways as well. Now to go to 2012R2 can i setup a second Windows 2012 box and put SCOM 2012R2 on it, and then keep the 2007R2 running as primary and SCOM 2012R2 as secondary. And then use 2012R2 to auto push upgrade the agents to 2012?
I know SCOM has to go from 2007->2012->2012SP1->2012R2 on inplace upgrades. But if i add a second SCOM server can i just auto upgrade the agents and have them report to and be monitored by my 2012SCOM? and then in the future cut the 2007R2 SCOM box?
