Hi Folks, 


Has anyone upgraded 7.2.x UF on Windows 2012 R2 to 9.0.x?

Documentation says to upgrade 7.2 to 8.0 or 8.1 then 9.x

However, 

Windows 2012 R2 not supported on 8.0.x or 8.1.x

Can't find any documentation or posts related to this so asking here:

Is it ok to upgrade 7.2.x to 8.2.x then onto 9.0.x for Windows 2012 R2?

Hi @joxers25,

for my knowledge the migration path is for Splunk Enterprise and not for Universal Forwarder so it shouldn't be required an intermediate step.

But anyway

Anyway, both versions 8.2.x and 9.1.1 are certified for Windows 2012/R2, as you can read at https://www.splunk.com/en_us/download/previous-releases-universal-forwarder.html

Ciao.
